Dubrovnik Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Dubrovnik

September 25, 2017 Marlin Saiz

Dubrovnik has recovered from the war damage it suffered during the 1990s, and visitors have returned to this tranquil city. Nestled between the Adriatic and the Dinaric Alps, it’s an accessible and affordable city break for many European travelers. The pedestrian-only Old Town is especially charming.

Nautika Restaurant

Nautika Restaurant lies on the very edge of the sea at Pile, alongside the entrance to Dubrovnik's Old City. From its unique terraces, diners can enjoy a truly one-of-a-kind view of the Adriatic and the fortresses of Lovrijenac and Bokar. The restaurant's chef, Mario Bunda, leads a team whose varied offerings include lobster from the Dalmatian island of Vis and delicacies from the local waters of the Adriatic. About the cousine: The chef's role begins where that of the craftsman, Mother Nature, ends. It consists of transforming something that is beautiful, by its very essence, into something exceptional.

What can I say , we are foodies but are sometimes disappointed by pretentious crap more often these days peddled at some so called starred restaurants. This restaurant is different , Waiters were great open friendly gave plenty of time and advice to make sure we had understood the choices , local knowledge , taking the time to try and understand our tastes which greatly added to the experience. On to the meal fantastic flavours fish soup was sensational , strongly flavoured consommé truly excellent. Salt baked Bass fantastic. All 6 of us left the restaurant completely satisfied and bearing in mind you get what you pay for the bill was a fair price for the quality. Weather was not good for outside Terrace dining but if this happens don’t worry inside is very nice.

Restaurant Dubrovnik

Restaurant Dubrovnik is constantly proving its reputation as being amongst Dubrovnik's top class restaurants, serving a consistently good quality food with a distinctly modern Dalmatian twist. Situated literally minutes from the main street Stradun and just a stone throw from the popular Green market, featuring the most recognizable Terrace in the Old Town, this delightful place is set in one of those secluded corners of the town's enchanting little streets, providing the guests with just an ideal level of privacy whilst still keeping the feeling of belonging to the old urban centre. Together with exquisite service, its elegance and inspiring ambience encourages return visits since it has been reopened in 2006.

Oyster & Sushi Bar Bota

Dubrovnik's new gem where diners enjoy a beautiful fusion of Dalmatian and Japanese cuisine. A unique place in the Old City to taste fresh oysters grown at the oyster farm in nearby Mali Ston Bay. This bay is the last place where the "Queen of oysters" (Ostrea edulis) still grows. The Oyster & Sushi Bar Bota is located in the charming, small alley by the Cathedral.

Above 5’s view of Dubrovnik was great, but you will need to climb 5 flights of stairs to reach the restaurant. The service was attentive, the wine was good, but the food did not meet our expectations.
We ordered the beef pate, the chief’s focaccia, the seabass with celery cream and the tuna with avocado. With the exception of the seabass, the other dishes were disappointing. The tuna was served medium although I had asked for it be rare. The avocados were hard and tasteless, which surprised us as living in California we are used to ripe, delicious avocados. The focaccia bread seemed a little undercooked.

Pantarul

Pantarul - feels like home. Our intention is for everyone to feel welcome and for each palate to be satisfied. A snack with a glass of local wine or a several-course dinner which will make all your senses flick? Top quality, yet unpretentious food - modern cuisine at its best. Our menu lives with the seasons and all the dishes are prepared using incredible local produce which is sourced by farmers from Dubrovnik&apos;s surroundings, especially from Zupa and Konavle. Fresh fish is delivered daily and the meat comes from the most reliable sources. Homemade pasta and bread, a creative wine list featuring Croatian wines and an honest smile on the waiters&apos; faces - this is what we look for in a restaurant ourselves. Once you&apos;re done enjoying the meal, you can flip through the restaurant cookbook - a 320-page edition full of photos, stories and traditional Dubrovnik recipes.

High end, innovative, cooking in a relaxed atmosphere.
Located on "Lapad".
Very tasty food, using local ingredients adding a touch of taste & spices, which many times is missing in the region.
Good place for a late afternoon "brunch", early evening.
Freshly decorated interior,, with space between tables.
No "tourist trap", same treatment of clients.
Share a few "tapas" dishes". Three for two works well.
Very attent service personnel.
Indoor Seating. Fine for a romantic off season meal.
Not cheap, but fair price & value.
Small minus, no draft beer, only bottles, but at least both main brands.
Own parking.
Best to reserve table.
Clean restroom.

Reviewed By joeyvegaz - Wiesbaden, Germany

Spent 3 days in Dubrovnik and this was one of the two best meals we had, by far. The island itself was enchanting (and not overrun) with wild rabbits and peacocks and crystal clear waters. Now on to the restaurant. Had a steak and it was fantastic. Perfectly cooked and so juicy and tasty. I'm a steak snob and this was definitely a very good meal. And reasonably priced for being on an island. The service was fantastic and, in the summer, the atmosphere was great. Definitely recommend this place. This was my second time to Dubrovnik, and I would visit Lokrum and the restaurant again.

Takenoko Dubrovnik

Takenoko Dubrovnik Our restaurant Takenoko was the first Japanese restaurant in Croatia which makes us the initiators of an exceptional culinary story in the region and beyond. We have spent 15 successful years at our first location in Centar Kaptol. The second big step for us that in spring of 2016 was the opening of a luxury restaurant Takenoko in one of the world centers of tourism - Dubrovnik. Led by our longtime chef Motohiko Mochizuki and Mario Obrovac in Zagreb, we presented a new menu for the two newly opened restaurants. The chef at our address in Dubrovnik is a great name of Croatian culinary scene, Mario Starman. Another interesting innovation that we introduced after the transfer is a new selection of cocktails and beverages, which was created by our barmen Krunoslav Miler. The business tradition and the continued high level of work resulted in winning numerous awards.

Located outside the Ploce Gate, overlooking the city walls and the harbour, Takenoko is well-known in Croatia and one of the best Japanese Fusion Restaurants. Sushi and Sashimi are amazing and of highest quality. Excellent wine-list. Service is very professional, friendly and helpful. Reservation is a must!
