Dubrovnik Dine and Wine — discover where golden-hour views meet world-class cuisine and unforgettable nightlife, from romantic seaside dinners to fortress-club parties.
Dubrovnik: Golden Hour and Beyond
A medieval city straight out of a movie set, Dubrovnik is one of the brightest jewels of the Croatian coast. Surrounded by ancient stone walls and lapped by the turquoise waters of the Adriatic, it draws thousands of visitors each year. By day, stroll cobbled lanes, explore centuries-old churches and palaces, and savor Dalmatian cuisine on sun-drenched terraces. But when the sun dips low, Dubrovnik reveals another side: elegant dinners with postcard views and nights that pulse with music and local spirit. Welcome to Dubrovnik Dine and Wine — your guide to the city’s finest evening experiences.
Dubrovnik Dine & Wine — Signature Restaurants
Dubrovnik’s golden hour is nothing short of cinematic. For an iconic view, take a seat at terrace restaurants by Pile Gate or on the eastern city walls and watch the fortresses glow while the Adriatic shimmers. If you prefer something more secluded, sunset from Lapad Bay or the terraces on Lopud and Šipan feels like a private screening of the Adriatic.
Nautika Restaurant
If you want history, romance, and world-class cuisine, Nautika is Dubrovnik’s crown jewel. Perched by the sea at Pile Gate, its terraces frame Lovrijenac and Bokar fortresses — essentially dinner with a postcard view. Chef Mario Bunda and his team present the Adriatic at its best: lobster from Vis, local shellfish, and refined preparations that honor the sea. The setting (a building welcoming sailors since 1881) adds to the romance. Recognized by Condé Nast Traveller and having hosted dignitaries, Nautika is a must for a special evening.
Dubravka Restaurant & Café
Located by the Old City’s west entrance under century-old plane trees, Dubravka dates to 1836.
