For many people, Dubrovnik is the place to be during the hot months. The otherworldly beauty of the city will leave you breathless when you first see the walls of the ancient and famous Dubrovnik Republic. After taking a break in one of the bars on Stradun, you will probably be lured by numerous small restaurants in the side streets.
Prices in Dubrovnik restaurants are very high, but some of the restaurants are at the very top of the gastronomy scene. However, these places are mostly reserved for the guests with deeper pockets, but they do not serve imaginative and bold culinary art, but stick to the tried and tested classics they have been serving for years.
Restaurant Lokanda Peskarija is unpretentious, always full and with reasonable prices, unlike most other restaurants in Dubrovnik. In the summer it is truly hard to find a place in this frequented restaurant, where the patrons often have to queue waiting for a free table. The restaurant can seat some forty people, but its main attraction is the terrace that can accommodate up to 150 people.
This fish restaurant is located beneath the city walls right by the sea, with the beautiful view of the old Dubrovnik harbor. The restaurant is full of details that will return you to the days of the oldest Dubrovnik history.
Peskarija cultivates a healthy relationship towards the ingredients and prepares several “home-made”, classical dishes like black risotto, clams, various buzara, small fried fish and oysters. This is the Mediterranean diet in its original form, served on old plates and containers, without any mystification or great philosophy, using only the freshest of ingredients. The dishes served here and the patrons who keep returning speak for themselves.
