Restaurants in Dubrovnik

Being the tourist magnet that it is, Dubrovnik has plenty of restaurants, though one is more or less indistinguishable from the next. If you like seafood, grilled meat and pasta, you’ll be a happy diner here.

The restaurants below have been grouped into three different pricing categories:
Expensive (over 250 HRK)
Moderate (100 HRK to 250 HRK)
Cheap (up to 100 HRK)

These Dubrovnik restaurant prices are for a three-course meal for one, including half a bottle of house wine or equivalent, tax and service.

Stara Loza

Price: Expensive
Cuisine: Croatian

This beacon among Prijeko street’s run-of-the-mill tourist restaurants belongs to the equally classy Prijeko Palace hotel above. Chef Damir Šarić uses contemporary techniques to prepare traditional dishes. Think incredibly succulent lamb cooked in olive oil, ox cheeks with walnuts and honey and seafood dishes fresh from the Dalmatian coast.
