If you eat a meal after havdalah which includes bread, you say hamotsi. Kiddush is not said on Saturday night unless a Yom Tov begins on that night.
The traditional meal eaten after Havdalah includes bread (where possible), and is called the Melaveh Malkah, in honor of the departing Sabbath.

Do Bar and Bat Mitzvahs have to have Havdalah services to be legitimate?
No - Havdalah is the service at the end of Shabbat.
What is havdalah?
Havdalah is the ceremony which marks the end of the Sabbath or a holiday. The ceremony always includes a prayer and the drinking of a cup of wine. At the end of the Sabbath, a blessing is also said on smelling spices or a fragrant plant, and on a candle. You can have a havdalah B'nai Mitzvah service.
What is a havdalah candle used for?
The Havdalah candles symbolizes the end of the sacred period of time known as Shabbat. According to tradition, the Havdalah candle also represents the gift of fire, which God gave to Adam one day after He created him.
What is a kiddush cup and how is it used?
Drinking from the kiddush cup is an important part of Shabbat and most Jewish holidays. The word kiddush refers not to the cup itself but to the blessing said over the wine or grape juice in the cup, an event that blesses and sanctifies the holiday and it one of the chief ways (along with avoiding the 39 categories of work forbidden during Shabbat) that Jews abide by the mitzvah("commandment") to observe these special days. Reciting the kiddush blessing before the meal eaten after nightfall on Shabbat (the first meal of Shabbat) is commanded by the Torah whereas reciting it before other meals during Shabbat is a tradition of rabbinic orgin, meaning that rabbis decided it should be done without the Torah commanding it. Reciting kiddush before the last meal during Shabbat is largely optional - most Jews do not, but the 12th Century rabbi, doctor and philosopher Maimonides, who still has an enormous influence on Jewish thought to this day, believed that it should be carried out and so there are many Jews who do.A kiddush cup can be any cup and of any material, but as is commonly the case with any ceremonial object (such as the crucifix a Christian might wear, the idols used by Hindus in their household temples and so on) people like to have a cup and so most are made of silver and often beautifully decorated.
What is the kiddush over the wine morning and night?
Kosher wine or kosher grape juice
