Restaurant Dubrovnik

Restaurant Dubrovnik, sharing its name with the city, is one of the Old Town's more polished places to eat. It sits on Marojice Kaboge, a quiet lane in the heart of the walled city, and its intimate terrace is raised slightly above the pedestrian bustle below, which makes it a calm spot for a summer dinner. The dining room is elegant and refined, and the restaurant is included in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Croatia.

The cooking is contemporary Mediterranean, built mainly on local ingredients. The Michelin inspectors highlight dishes such as scallops with soft polenta, goat's cheese, hazelnuts and porcini, and a dessert of fig-filled puff pastry cooked in Prošek, the sweet dessert wine of Dalmatia. You can order à la carte or put yourself in the kitchen's hands with the Chef's Choice tasting menu, available in five or nine courses. The wine selection is broad and international, with Croatian bottles well represented, and staff can suggest pairings.

This is a good choice for couples and small groups who want a special meal without the formality of the city's most expensive restaurants. Prices sit at the upper-middle level for Dubrovnik. Vegetarians should mention it when booking. The long tasting menus are best suited to diners with an unhurried evening ahead.

The restaurant serves dinner from early evening. Bookings are managed by the restaurant directly, and reserving a terrace table is wise in summer, especially for the later sittings when the air has cooled. Many Old Town restaurants reduce their hours or close for part of the winter, so contact the restaurant before planning a visit between November and March.

Allow two hours for à la carte and longer for the nine-course menu. The restaurant is easy to combine with an evening walk along Stradun and a drink at one of the bars near the walls. For a first visit, the five-course tasting menu is a good way to sample the kitchen's range without committing to a very long evening, and the staff can match each course with a glass from the international list. If you prefer to order à la carte, the scallops and the fig pastry described by the Michelin inspectors make a sound starting and finishing point. Ask for a terrace table when you book.
