Here are top choices to eat in the city of Dubrovnik.

Restaurant 360° is Dubrovnik’s glitziest restaurant offers fine dining at its best, with flavoursome, beautifully presented, creative cuisine, an impressive wine list and slick, professional service. The setting is unrivalled – on top of the city walls with tables positioned so you can peer through the battlements over the harbour.

Nautika bills itself as ‘Dubrovnik’s finest restaurant’ and it comes pretty close. The setting is sublime, overlooking the sea and the city walls, and the service is faultless: black bow-tie formal but friendly. As for the food, it’s sophisticated if not particularly adventurous, with classic techniques applied to the finest local produce. For maximum silver-service drama, order the salt-crusted fish.

The breezy bistro, Pantarul aligns its menu with the seasons and has a reputation for exceptional homemade bread, pasta and risotto, alongside the likes of steaks, ox cheeks, burgers and various fish dishes. There’s a fresh, modern touch to most dishes.

The popularity of Nishta, a tiny old-town restaurant is testament not just to the paucity of options for vegetarians and vegans in Croatia, but also to the imaginative and beautifully presented food produced within. Each day of the week has its own menu with a separate set of cooked and raw options.
