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.

Expensive

Proto

Cuisine: Seafood, Mediterranean

Established in 1886, Proto once served dinner to Edward VIII and Duchess of Windsor Wallis Simpson, and the restaurant takes pride in the dignitaries it has hosted ever since. Today, it’s known for its fresh seafood menu which depends exclusively on the daily ingredients available. The vegetables on offer are also worthy of trying, they’re all organic and come from the region’s rural homesteads.

Cuisine: Croatian

This beacon among Prijeko street’s run-of-the-mill tourist restaurants belongs to the equally classy Prijeko Palace hotel above.
