Between the Albatros and Epidaurus hotels, you will find this small and cosy restaurant, located on the seafront, frequented by tourists and locals. Its large terrace, open during the summer months, can accommodate up to 100 people. Offers Dalmatian meals as well as pizzas. Fish recipes, shellfish, fresh pasta, hamburgers or the house specialty, the platter of various meats with grilled vegetables for two people. In summer, live music every night. Ice cream parlour during the day. Quality service.

A typical family restaurant as there are some left in Croatia. The menu is simple, there are a dozen dishes, most of which are based on fish and which vary according to the catch of the day. Only the octopus salad remains all year long. We recommend it as a starter because it is this recipe that has given the restaurant its reputation as the best establishment on the island. The second particularity of the restaurant is the cheese in oil. In the high season, one is made every day so that you can try them all, from the youngest to the oldest.

Before entering the port, this rated restaurant is located in the historic boutique-hotel of Villa Pattiera, an old renovated family house. The terrace is located in the middle of the square while the place, outside as inside, is distinguished, the warm welcome. Refined cuisine offering à la carte specialities of fish, seafood served in white wine sauce, Italian pasta, such as little with fresh spinach and cheese, grilled vegetables in Dalmatia, a lemon cream.

In Dubrovnik, you can also escape the crowded streets of the historic city and find some good addresses. To do so, you have to go where the locals live, in the Gruž market district, among other places. Here, at Amfora, the cuisine is rather refined. The chef is just as keen on fish as he is on meat: tuna steak or tartare, black risotto, octopus, lamb, as well as soups and a few vegetarian options. For dessert: rozata, panna cotta or a plate of Croatian cheeses. Impeccable service. A lovely terrace on the other side of the restaurant.

On the sea promenade, this family restaurant has a terrace with a panoramic view of the strait that separates us from Pelješac and the islets of the archipelago. The semi-gastronomic restaurant offers a small appetizer to give us time to choose from the menu of contemporary Dalmatian cuisine: local fish, grilled lamb, squid ink risotto, fresh pasta al dente, tuna steak ... A romantic place at sunset, if you are at a table near the ramparts. Reservation required.

On the square in front of the Saint-Nicolas church, the tavern welcomes you in its rustic style dining room and, above all, on the terrace, which enjoys a breathtaking view of the sea. Superb setting! On the menu, fisherman's salad, charcuterie/cheese plate, squid/fries, squid ink risotto, grilled meat, fish or squid, small fried dishes, pizza, Mediterranean cuisine accompanied by a good local wine. To finish, the chocolate pancakes or ice creams are very popular. Friendly reception with both locals and tourists in summer.

Opened in 2023, Soul Kitchen is one of Dubrovnik's few vegetarian restaurants (also offering meat and vegan dishes). Located in a hidden alleyway in the old town (not far from the M'arden wine bar), this new address boasts a large, spacious outdoor terrace and a large, cool indoor space. The menu offers an original selection of dishes, from salads combining melon, feta and mint pesto, to tacos and burgers, curries and pastas. Brunch highly recommended.

This restaurant not far from the road does not have the charm of its competitors in the other hamlets, but is still a very good address. It serves very good grilled meat with home-made vegetables, pizzas, lamb, veal or octopus cooked under the peka (ask in advance), etc. Perfect for groups and to taste the traditional cuisine of Žrnovo in a rustic setting. Don't leave without first trying the macaroni with meat ragout. The owner's mother makes the sauce!

A central restaurant with a terrace on a high-speed square facing that of the famous Kamenice. A good fish card, grilled squid, and meat without forgetting risotto, grilled vegetables or vegetarian plates. Good service but slightly light on the plate. 

With its stone-walled interior and its terrace under a vine arbour, this tavern is a very good address. Here, everything is organic and home-made: bread, goat cheese, fresh pasta, smoked ham. Mate's specialty? Tasty meat stews cooked under the peka bell. If you haven't tried it elsewhere, order pašticada, the traditional Dalmatian dish served here with macaroni. A very cosy place! Reservations are recommended.

A very attractive family tavern on the seafront, which is very popular. The ideal location with an unobstructed view of the sea, the catch of the day, numerous dishes prepared over a wood fire, and an appreciable vegetarian plate make this place a success. Among the dishes to be mentioned, the entrecote accompanied by a tomato and fig salad, and the fish soup served directly from the pot. Remember to make a reservation as the place is often packed, and come early if you don't like to wait too long once you've ordered!

This is one of the best addresses in the area. It was the team of the restaurant Dalmatino who opened this restaurant in 2017. Originally from Trstenik, the owner has once again aimed right after having conquered us for years in Dubrovnik. The recipe is the same: a beautiful establishment, good products, local cuisine (grilled fish and meat) revisited. Without forgetting to congratulate the quality service, attentive and rather fast, the warm welcome and the friendly atmosphere, just what is needed. Not to be missed.

Recommended by Anne Femica, our expert guide who knows her city well, the konoba is one of Dubrovnik's well-kept secrets. Far from the hustle and bustle of the central squares and streets, the courtyard terrace is well shaded under its pergola. The friendly waiters explain the menu to you. Tagliatelle or black risotto with squid ink, as soft as you like, tasting tray with assorted fish, seafood and grilled vegetables, interesting vegetarian dishes (soy wok, grilled vegetables, vegan risotto or tagliatelle), local wine by the glass. Good address!
