DUBROVNIK RESTAURANTS

Here’s a fresh* mini-guide to some of the best restaurants in Dubrovnik (printer friendly version).

Locally updated and revised, fresh* mini-guides are a great way to keep up to date on all the latest happenings & travel information in Croatia. Without further ado, here are some of our favourite places to eat in Dubrovnik.

* Lokanda Peskarija (old town, Dubrovnik)
Simple menu, reliable food, great location, and decent prices makes this one of our favourites. During the season, it can get a bit more than a bit busy so be prepared to wait or try one of our other local haunts.
type: sit-down, casual, mediterranean, seafood
location: old harbour, old town, Dubrovnik

* Fresh (old town, Dubrovnik)
We love this place! The first wraps & smoothies bar in Croatia offers up a mouth-watering selection of handmade wraps (tortilla sandwiches) and healthy fruit smoothies. By night, Fresh* becomes a popular drinking hole with 2 for 1 Happy Hour Beer and 3 Litre Cocktail Towers. Free internet + Wifi.

* Taj Mahal (old town, Dubrovnik)
Looking for Indian food? This isn't actually the place. However, the good news is that the Taj Mahal is a friendly and delightful restaurant that serves a nice selection of traditional Bosnian food. Think grilled meats, some veg, and burek. Love the baked potatoes.
type: sit-down, casual, bosnian, grill, meat, veg
location: Svetog Dominika b.b., Dubrovnik
tel: +385.020.322.220

* Gil's cuisine & pop lounge (old town, Dubrovnik)
When Gil's opened its doors in the summer of 2007, it was clear that more than a little money and effort had gone into converting the restaurant previously know as Labrint into something different. While eating here isn't for the budget-minded, this designer restaurant with a world-class wine cellar and lounge area, is a nice splash out. The ambience on the patio is superb and there are rumors that Gil's will offer an eclectic mix of tapas this season. Reservations recommended.
type: sit-down, trendy, french cuisine, tapas
location: Nikole Gucetica 2, old town Dubrovnik
tel: +385.020.323.221

* Sesame (near old town, Dubrovnik)
Just up the street from the Hilton Dubrovnik and a five-minute walk from the old town, Sesame is a pleasant family-run restaurant that provides well needed variations on the typical Mediterranean dishes offered elsewhere. Make sure you try their wonderful fig and prsut salad.
type: sit-down, casual, mediterranean, al fresco
location: Dante Alighieria bb, Dubrovnik

* Nishta (old town, Dubrovnik)
If the happy cows floating above aren't a clue, a quick glance at the menu lets you know that this cute little restaurant only serves vegetarian & vegan dishes. Standing out from the rest of the restaurants that line the infamous Prijeko street in Dubrovnik, Nishta Vegetarian restaurant is the brainchild of a friendly Swiss-Croatian couple & a great place to sample a creative & well presented selection of vegetarian & vegan food that will please. Those tired of ordering veg meals in Dubrovnik only to find that in most places that simply means 'less meat', rejoice!
type: sit-down, casual, vegetarian, vegan
location: Prijeko 30, old town Dubrovnik

* Oliva (old town, Dubrovnik)
Looking for a decent pizza? Here you go. type: pizza, pasta
location: Lucarica 5, old town Dubrovnik

* Arsenal (old town, Dubrovnik)
Recently renovated, the Arsenal is a massive space well located at the end of Stradun.  Does well with the dinner crowd and serves up live music later in the evening.
