Where Rich History Meets Irresistible Flavours

Step into the enchanting world of Dubrovnik, Croatia – a coastal gem known for its breathtaking architecture, spellbinding history, and its heavenly food! Wander through the ancient streets of the Old City, where echoes of Game of Thrones’ King’s Landing might just send shivers down your spine. But that’s not the only thrill awaiting you… So let’s get this flavor fiesta started and embark on a tantalizing journey through Dubrovnik’s mouthwatering delights.

Tips from Hanako

  • Avoid dining inside the Old Town as much as possible, as prices tend to be double there.
  • If you prefer sweet-tasting wines, opt for Croatian Wine over Italian or French varieties, as they often offer better quality.
  • Be sure to have cash on hand, as many places do not accept Credit Cards. Some establishments may have card machines, but they prefer to maintain an old-style approach to payment…
  • Don’t expect sophisticated service
  • English is widely spoken, so no need to worry about communication issues.
  • When dining, request that the waiter brings each dish separately, otherwise you may have the issue that they will bring all all at once.
  • If you can’t make a reservation online in advance, don’t give up but simply go to the restaurant directly and book a table.
  • There’s usually no service charge added to the bill.
  • Some restaurants serve tap water, while others may not
  • Peak lunchtime is around 1 pm, and dinner is typically at 8 pm.
  • Dubrovnik’s restaurant culture is more oriented towards serving meals throughout the day, starting with English-style breakfast and extending to evening wine service. Unfortunately, tapas culture is not as prevalent though.
  • Pasta and Risotto options are often served as warm “Appetizers” in Dubrovnik.
  • Indulge in the love for gelato – it’s a popular treat in the city. More than coffee places.
  • Olive oil is a must-have and is typically provided at each table for diners to enjoy.

Located inside the Old City, Barba is a popular seafood spot. It’s a small, unassuming place, but don’t let that fool you! They serve some of the freshest and tastiest seafood in the city.
Must Order Dish: Octopus Burger The flavors and quality here are exceptional. And they provided us the best service!

When you need a break from exploring the charming streets of Dubrovnik, head over to Aroma for a delightful gelato experience. They offer a wide range of flavors, from classic ones like chocolate and vanilla to unique combinations inspired by local ingredients. It’s the perfect spot to cool down and indulge in some sweet treats.

Soul Caffe

For a relaxed and cozy atmosphere with great coffee and light bites, Soul Caffe is the place to be. Located in the heart of Dubrovnik’s Old Town, this cafe offers a variety of beverages, including Croatian coffee specialties. (They saved my every morning)

Orsan

If you want to experience traditional Dalmatian cuisine with a focus on seafood, Orsan is a fantastic choice. Overlooking the Gruž Harbor, this restaurant serves up a delightful array of fresh fish and seafood dishes. The ambiance is fantastic, especially during sunset.
Must Order Dish: Seafood Platter

Rajski Vrt on Lokrum Island

Lokrum Island is just a short boat ride away from Dubrovnik, and it’s a perfect escape for nature lovers. While exploring the island, make sure to visit Rajski Vrt, a lovely restaurant surrounded by lush greenery. They serve Mediterranean and Croatian dishes, and their terrace offers breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea.
Must Order Dish: Tomato Bruschetta (Their unique Bruschetta was on point!)

Renaissance Art Restaurant

For a romantic view, head to Gradska Kavana Arsenal Restaurant, located within the historic Arsenal building. The restaurant boasts a charming setting with views of the Old Port. They serve a mix of Croatian and Mediterranean dishes, but I actually recommend to go for a breakfast.

Restaurant Domestico

Last but not least, I bring you Domestico, a culinary gem that beautifully blends traditional Croatian flavors with a touch of innovative flair. This is the restaurant you cannot find in old town that reflecting the rich culinary heritage of the region while surprising diners with delightful modern twists. Domestico is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable dining experience in Dubrovnik.
Must Order Dish: Meat Platter

Remember that the culinary scene in Dubrovnik is diverse, and these are just a few highlights. Don’t hesitate to explore the city and try out other local restaurants and eateries to discover even more delicious surprises! Bon appétit!
