Good pizza and fantastic service

Our visit to Ombra Caffe and Lounge bar was truly enjoyable. The restaurant has plenty of seating, so finding a spot is never a problem. It's tucked away in a quiet backstreet and plaza of the Old Town, offering a peaceful escape from the usual hustle and bustle.

We stopped by for a vegan pizza, which featured a fluffy crust, flavorful tomato sauce, and surprisingly good vegan cheese. We also had a Greek salad, which they thoughtfully prepared without cheese, and noted that they offer a vegan risotto as well. The salad was fresh and crisp, making it a delicious complement to the pizza.

The highlight of our visit was the fantastic service we received.m by Mustafa and Erdal. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the experience even more memorable. Overall, Ombra is a great spot, and I highly recommend it for its excellent food, serene location, and outstanding service.

Pros: Good vegan options , Fair prices , Great service

Good vegan option and friendly staff

The pizza was good, not amazing. Vegans in Kotor do not have enough options to be picky haha!
The staff were really friendly and they have live music in the evenings.

Decent pizza

Ombra is in a great location in the old town of Kotor. They have several vegan dishes. I tried the vegan pizza. I liked the vegan cheese they use for this. The dough was not like in Italy, but still a good option and a filling meal in nice atmosphere.

Beautiful place

It feels like a secret garden. It’s super romantic and has a nice vibe and great menu. I had both the vegan soup, the risotto and the pizza as I visited twice and it was all really great

Incredible vegan pizza

I’m verrrry fussy with pizza but this one was top 3 vegan pizzas I’ve ever had (and I’ve had many). Husband didn’t enjoy the burger because it was advertised as vegan “meat” burger, and it was mashed veg. Understand his disappointment but I actually thought it was lovely.
The setting is gorgeous and the staff very attentive, we were served very quickly. Highly recommend this place.

Pros: Vegan pizza! Service, staff

Cons: Vegan burger not “meaty” but still tasty

A must visit in Kotor

Probably the best option for vegans in town. The restaurant is beautiful, the menu has four decent vegan options clearly labeled, and the food is delicious. I had the vegan pizza and was positively surprised. The dough was really tasty, not too thin, but not too thick. The vegan cheese was impressive, so good! And the veggies were just perfectly cooked and seasoned. Also, it was the right size for an individual pizza, and the price was fair. Definitely recommended!

Cons: Could have included more vegan options

‼️🚨 make sure you triple check if the pizza is vegan once they deliver it to you

Although I enjoyed the talks with the staff and they’re nice and welcoming, I can’t give many stars.

First, this place is in city centre of kotor so of course a very tiny (and slim) pizza is 12 euros at least.

I received my pizza and wasn’t sure about the cheese. I asked if for sure is vegan and they assured me yes.

After some bites, I looked at my friend non vegan pizza and saw the exact same Parmesan. I asked again if it’s vegan. He asked the chef and assured me it is. After few seconds they said it’s not vegan and they will do again a new one for me.

Of course I was asked if it’s allergy or a choice. I think these questions are irrelevant especially when he kind of implied that it’s not a real allergy (although I’ve been vegan 10 years so I’ll get food poisoning from cheese at least).

So yeah, I’m not sure what to say about this restaurant. Again, really lovely people working there, they do have one page with vegan food for “marketing” of course, but I don’t think they treat veganism serious.

I could write much more but yeah, I guess if you’re really hungry you have to go here as they do have almond milk and other stuff, but it’s not 100% safe for vegans.

I cannot imagine ordering VEGAN pizza and I still have to be paranoia about cheese. It’s sad.

They’re from Türkiye. I’m wondering how would they feel to be served piggy 🐷 . And not to mention my reason for not eating cheese is ethical, not biblical

Decent size and pretty tasty

I had the vegan pizza with some grilled veg and was pretty pleased with what I got. Decent size and it was all fresh and tasty. The staff are friendly and helpful and told me they are expanding the vegan menu in time for summer 2024.

Pros: Clearly marked tasty vegan options, Fair price and portions, Nice owners and chef

Cons: No vegan deserts (yet)

quite okay Vegan pizza

There is a small selection of vegan dishes. I opted for the vegan pizza with courgette/mushrooms/vegan cheese. The topping was very tasty, but the pizza dough was unfortunately a little dry and burnt on the bottom. To summarise, the pizza was okay. The staff were friendly and the price of the pizza was okay at €10.

A decent selection of vegan options and a quiet little corner of Kotor

We all ordered the vegan vegetable pizza and it was very nice. It had vegan cheese and vegetables on it. Would recommend if you’re spending a day in Kotor

Pros: Vegan cheese on the pizza , Quiet area of Kotor , Friendly staff

Fantastico

❗Attenzione non accettano carte di credito, ma solo contanti!
Dovrebbero avvisare da subito, invece di dirlo alla fine. Anche perché non ci sono bancomat molto vicini dove ritirare. ❗

Locale situato in un angolino di Kotor, molto tranquillo e privato, senza via vai di turisti.
Il ragazzo che ci ha servito al tavolo era veramente gentile e disponibile, un amore.

Ho ordinato la pizza vegan, con formaggio vegetale, funghi, melanzane e zucchine..
Beh, non mangiavo una pizza così da non so quanto tempo.
Fantastica, saporita, finalmente un degno sostituto dei latticini per la pizza, non la solita roba che neanche si fonde.
Non riuscivo a credere alle mie papille gustative (no, non era mozzarella, ne sono sicurissima.)!
Sono rimasta contentissima!!

Nel loro menù vegan hanno la pizza, un burger, una pasta, e un sandwich - se non ricordo male.

Breakast ok, Pizza great

Amended to 3 stars after I had their vegan pizza! 😍

They offer a "Vegan breakfast" which is a bircher muesli with honey (!) - I specified no honey which was apparently no problem, but I don't think they know it is not vegan then. The muesli was ok but I don't think it was worth 5 €... no fruit on top and the soy milk was warm (from the shelf, not heated on the stove warm). A bit sad really.

Had the vegan pizza

It was about what I’d expect for a vegan pizza. It had decent toppings and vegan cheese, and was a decent size. One of the more affordable and filling meals I’ve had in the Balkans.

Pros: Vegan options clearly marked , More than one vegan option , Good portions for price

Cons: Typical vegan offerings / pizza, burger, pasta, The server didn’t know what’s on the burger.

Nice tasty simple pasta

Nice terrace outside away from the crowds in Old town. Pasta was delicious but nothing that special. 4 vegan options on menu, also pizza. Would go here again. Prices okay.

A bit disappointed

I had the vegan burger, the fries and the salsa were good, but the burger was too simple. The bun was cold and didn’t taste good. Inside there was no sauce, only salad, tomatoe and red onion. The soy patty was good. On the check they add 2€/person for « kouvert » which I didn’t see on the menu and is too much.

Delicious food!

Discovered this little place by accident after getting lost in the old town. What caught my eye was the board Thad had a vegan menu. The food was so delicious and a huge portion for the decent price! I highly recommend finding this place if you’re in Kotor!

Lovely friendly staff, basic food

They have a clearly labelled vegan menu and were happy to alter a salad to remove the cheese.

I had the vegan pizza which was basic, but it was nice to have labelled options and the staff were lovely and helpful.

The vegan pizza was nothing special, I would not order it again. The place was cozy and it had a separate part of the menu for vegan options.

Great Pizza and Salad

I had dinner here and shared a pizza and salad with my husband. The salad was so fresh and delicious. The pizza was also very good. I was pleased to find a place that had vegan options. There was seating inside and outside and the service was also great.

Decent pizza

Staff was friendly and spoke English.
The menu was in both Montenegrin and English.
The vegan options are listed on the menu separately.
I got the pizza, which was neither great nor bad.
Service was fast.
While I was there they kept playing a soft jazz cover of Billie Jean on loop, which was odd.
Payment by credit card was possible too.
