Where to eat.
A short, honest list of places I send friends to. Book ahead in summer — the good tables go fast.
Fine Dining
360° Dubrovnik
Michelin-starred, built into the city walls above the Old Harbour. Occasion-worthy tasting menus.
Restaurant Stara Loza
Rooftop terrace with sweeping views, modern Dalmatian tasting menu.
Above 5 Rooftop
Elegant six-course tasting overlooking Stradun.
Seafood
Proto
A Dubrovnik institution since 1886. Grilled fish, black risotto, and old-school service.
Bota Šare Oyster & Sushi Bar
Ston oysters straight from the family farm, plus sushi with a Croatian twist.
Kopun
Traditional coastal cooking on a beautiful square — try the octopus salad.
Traditional Croatian Cuisine
Konoba Dubrava (on the way to Srđ)
Peka lamb and veal under the bell — order 3 hours ahead. Worth the drive.
Konoba Ribar
Tiny family-run konoba tucked in the Old Town. Simple, honest, cheap for what it is.
Taj Mahal
Bosnian rather than Croatian, but the ćevapi and Sarajevski sač are outstanding.
Family-Friendly
Lucin Kantun
Small, warm, welcoming — good pasta, seafood, and portions kids will actually eat.
Pizzeria Oliva
Wood-fired pizza in a quiet square. Reliable go-to with children.
Peppino's Gelato
The best ice cream in the Old Town. Bribery-grade.
Sunset Dining
Restaurant Panorama (top of the Cable Car)
Sunset over the terracotta rooftops. Book a table 30 minutes before golden hour.
Nautika
Right outside Pile Gate with sea and Lovrijenac views — classic special-occasion spot.
Restaurant Orsan (Lapad)
Feet-in-the-water terrace, calm bay, great for a relaxed sunset dinner.
