Restaurants
You’ll find the best of Dubrovnik’s restaurants in the old town – from upscale eateries with sea-facing rooftop terraces to traditional and moderately priced spots with atmospheric stone interiors. Fresh seafood, prepared in a distinct Mediterranean style (with a lot of homegrown herbs and olive oil) features strongly on the city's restaurant menus, while delicious gelato (ice cream popular in nearby Italy) is a must-have desert. You can try both of these at Atlas Club Nautika, an exclusive restaurant outside the old town gates with amazing views from its outdoor terrace, a pricey menu of deliciously prepared seafood, and an impressive wine list. Opposite the Dominican Monastery, Labirint is an atmospheric restaurant inside the ancient ramparts that serves a variety of Mediterranean seafood and meat specialties and doubles as a nightclub come evening. The renowned Proto is right in the center of the old town, with a rooftop terrace and a menu focused on fresh fish; it’s a good place to sample Croatian wines. Finally, Lokanda Peskarija is a cozy and inexpensive restaurant in the old town harbor that dishes up excellent seafood snacks, such as grilled shrimp and black risotto, in an authentic Dalmatian setting.
