Pizzeria/Spaghetteria Baracuda

$$$$$ | Italian

Nestled into a tiny side street, this restaurant may not look like much but its super-thin pizza crusts make this pizzeria one of the best in Dubrovnik. Bustling picnic-style tables line the outside street where waitstaff squeeze through tiny gaps to deliver steaming hot pizzas topped with every kind of topping under the sun. Credit cards not accepted. Open daily from 10.30am to 12.30am.

Porat

$$$$$ | Local

Specialising in Dalmation and other continental cuisine, Porat is perched elegantly on the second-floor of the Hilton Imperial hotel in Dubrovnik. The menu features local foods with inventive twists and creatively thought out pairings. The crispy skinned sea bass fillet with candied lemon and sea salt is a must while other exciting dishes on the menu are equally as mouth-watering. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reservations required for dinner. Credit cards accepted.
