WHEN WE TRAVEL, WE ARE JUST LIKE YOU:
We want to eat where the locals eat
— it’s that simple.
But to truly do so, sometimes we need to look
beyond globally famous platforms like TripAdvisor or Google.
That’s exactly why we created this FOOD GUIDE,
to share insider tips on the best places to eat in
Dubrovnik, straight from the locals.
We have personally tried all these places, took families over there, recommended it to our friends, and now we want to share it with you. We made a selection of the best restaurants in and around Dubrovnik City area divided into 12 categories.
*SOME OF THE DISHES WE RECOMMEND

Being a dessert halfway between creme brulee and flan, Rozata is a traditional medieval dessert originally from Dubrovnik.
ŠPORKI MARAKULI
“Dirty macaroni” - referring to the practice of serving the dish – when the meat was eaten, the last guests were served a plate of pasta drizzled over with the leftover meat sauce.

A unique dish powerful in its color, while its taste is incredibely gentle. Made out of squid ink with pieces of squids, mussels and ocassionally local fish.

Oysters from this region are amongst the best in the world, since here you can eat them straight from the sea thanks to the purity and top qu of the sea in the Adriatic.
