Restaurants cuisine du monde Dubrovnik

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.

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.

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. 

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!

This restaurant, on the road that runs alongside the port, close to the Lapad hotel, is not easy to find if you arrive by land. But it's a real haven of peace, well worth the detour. It has the good fortune to be able to move forward onto a pontoon, setting its tables on the water's edge, with a panoramic view of the moored boats. Visitors come for the seafood platters, lobster, tuna carpaccio and squid ink risotto (although meat dishes are also available). In spring, when cherries are in season, try their cherry strüdel.

This now very touristy establishment offers fried fish and seafood dishes. On the menu: octopus salad, fried fish, black risotto, spaghetti with shellfish... Oysters (sometimes frozen) are also on the menu - after all, kamenice means oyster in Croatian! With its magnificent location on the square, this restaurant is often overcrowded, and the quality of the food suffers (as does the friendliness of the waiters), with prices that don't match the dishes served. You often have to wait (in the sun) to get a table.

A spacious terrace and tables set between the arches of the ramparts, enjoying a privileged view of the old port and the arrival of tourist boats. Varied cuisine, seafood, pizzas, new Asian menu. Friendly and smiling staff. Go in the evening for the live acoustic music and the peace and quiet in town once the cruise ships have left. A curiosity: in the days of the Ragusa Republic, the term poklisar referred to the patrician employed as an ambassador to the Ottoman Empire.

Just a stone's throw from Gundulić Square and the famous "Scalinata", the Baroque staircase leading to St. Ignatius Church (popular with tourists as the setting for Game of Thrones), Pizzeria Castro is a favorite address for Ragusans. Open all year round, Castro offers a good choice of pizzas at reasonable prices. Out of season, the menu is a little shorter, but the pizzeria (almost) never stops working. Relaxed, family atmosphere, tables outside only. Very pleasant service. Long waits sometimes in summer.

The self-proclaimed best pasta restaurant in town is the oldest Italian restaurant, having opened about 20 years ago. That may be a bit of a boast! What is certain is that all the different pasta and gnocchi dishes at Toni's are good and quickly served. Other specialties include bruschetta and hearty seasonal salads drizzled with olive oil. Also worth trying: the fisherman's cuisine, tagliatelle, parpadelle, tuna and seafood tortellini or the sea/pesto risotto.

A new fusion type kitchen but without presentation. Affordable price for a dinner in mind, behind your second half, the Adriatic Sea. The Cigar bar and lounge bar Agora are two original attractions for VIP or simply intimate guests.

The restaurant offers fresh fish daily, crustaceans, shells, black risotto, meat dishes, hors d'oeuvres, snacks… but also a cosy lunch menu and breakfasts. Large semi-covered terrace slightly on the heights at the entrance to the old town, side "Ploce" with private parking. A dominant view of the old town. Correct service and normal price.

Traditional, unpretentious restaurant nestled on a pleasant rooftop terrace overlooking the port of Gruž. Conveniently located, between Lapad beach and the train and bus stations, easily accessible from the old town by road or bus. Guests come here especially for the pizzas, which are cooked over a wood fire, grilled meat and fish, sausage and French fries, fresh pasta and black risotto. The house also prepares complete dishes cooked under the peka bell (to be ordered at least two hours in advance).

Zuzori is modern and sophisticated. This creative address seeks to distinguish itself from other establishments in the old town. The prices are high, but the dishes are beautifully presented and the cuisine refined. You'll find classic Dalmatian dishes, as well as Italian (paccheri, risotto...), Spanish (iberico tapilla) and Argentinian (black angus) products. The dishes are elegantly laid out on the plates, without overdoing it, in the manner of an upscale bistro. A fine wine list and professional service.
