Dubrovnik is full of good restaurants and the small streets inside the Old Town are packed with them. The culinary standards are generally quite high and the choice of food is typically Croatian, as seafood dishes do have a very high priority. The Dalmatian ham is of course also one of the delights and an absolute must taste starter dish. The restaurants are open until 11pm or midnight unless otherwise stated.
Friendly family-run restaurant just south of the Cathedral. Serves both seafood and meat dishes in appealing two level outdoor-only seating.
