If you are looking for a fish restaurant that is out of the way of the central squares in Kotor then head for this eatery near the UNESCO listed Northern Gate in the historical old part of town. The tiny square that Bastion faces onto has a feeling of privacy about it especially as it is shrouded by the impressive architecture around it. The terrace at Bastion is a great location to spend hours drinking and indulging in food.

Locals in Kotor frequently recommended this as the best seafood in the area, and it will not disappoint for visitors. The menu includes fresh fish supplied by local waters and items like chowder, squid ink and cuttlefish risotto and the special dish, of squid stuffed with local ham and cheese. This dish is renowned at Bastion and is an essential choice for any fish fanatics. If you are more of a shellfish lover, go for the mussels Bouzzara, you are guaranteed to never have witnessed mussels of this grand size. Side dishes of crispy marigold potatoes with spinach complete the meal.

The service here is also great, with the waiters having an excellent knowledge of English and, even some with a great sense of humour, this is a welcoming and impressive spot in Kotor for family dinners.
