Horizont Restaurant & Bar (Kotor Serpentine)

A restaurant and bar on the serpentine road that climbs from Kotor towards Lovćen. A wooden viewing deck stands right above the cliff: the whole Bay of Kotor lies below, and in the evening the sun sets straight ahead. We staged a marriage proposal here, and the candles, flowers and decor fit on the deck so that only the couple and the bay stay in the frame.

• Spaces: a wooden viewing deck above the cliff for a proposal or a ceremony for two, a terraced stone patio with tables, and an indoor dining room.
• Getting there: about half an hour from Kotor along the serpentine towards Lovćen. The road is narrow with tight hairpins, so after dusk it is best to travel with a driver who knows it.
• When to come: golden hour and sunset, when the light is soft and the bay sits in a light haze. The season runs from April to October.
• Terms: this is a working restaurant. Booking the deck for a private event comes with a separate fee, which the restaurant quotes for each date; we agree it in advance.
• Facilities: the restaurant kitchen and bar: wine, coffee, local pršut and cheeses.
