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.
Forty Four Restaurant
★ 4.86“Black Risotto”

Libertas Fish Restaurant
★ 4.83“Fresh catch of the day, Mediterranean style”
The dish: whatever's freshest that day, Mediterranean style. Served on a seaside terrace inside the Rixos Premium hotel.
Gradska Kavana Arsenal
★ 4.80“Classic Dalmatian seafood platters”

Konoba Bonaca
