5 Seafood Dishes We Think You Should Try in Dubrovnik
From truffle risotto to lobster tagliatelle — five seafood dishes across the city that stood out to us, each paired with a restaurant currently earning a strong Dubrovnik Gastro Score.
This isn't a ranking of "the best" restaurants — that's a bigger claim than any list can really back up. Instead, these are five specific seafood dishes we think are worth seeking out, at restaurants that are currently well-reviewed across multiple platforms. Order by name if you want to be sure you get the dish, not just the restaurant.
