on different tastes it is difficult to single out the particular
place.
From exclusive restaurants to small cozy “conobas” Dubrovnik
offers the diversity of choices.

wines originating from
peninsula Peljesac from which we can recommend “Dingac” and
“Plavac mali”. If you prepare the food by yourself you can
buy groceries at any store, however it is highly recommended
to visit one of two open air markets where you can find everything
from the freshly caught fish, organic grown vegetables to
olive oils and domestic wines and grapas.
Open markets are in Gruz
and in the Old
town.
TIP: Before you sit in the restaurant check the chart and
compare the prices, for they may significantly vary from place
