Exciting ice cream flavors to try in central Dubrovnik: Peppino’s Gelato Factory (12. October 2025)
There are quite a few ice cream shops in the old town of Dubrovnik, and it’s hard to pick one, but somehow, we saw that there was always a little line at Peppino’s, we figured, it can’t be too bad. To be fair, the prices are relatively steep with EUR 11.00 for three flavors, but […]
A touristic place with few authentic Croatian dishes but Ćevapčići: Restaurant Mama’s Pot (12. October 2025)
Sometimes these local places are rather nice, but the Mama’s Pot was somewhat a bit too touristic for my personal gusto. In any case, we ended up here and started with the “calamari with aioli” (EUR 18.00) to share and while the fries were actually quite nice, I found the calamari nothing special. Given I […]
The definition of overpriced food: Restaurant Nautika (11. October 2025)
The Nautika was recommended by a few, so, we figured to give it a try. That being said, to me this was probably one of the most overpriced places I’ve been to in a long while. To be fair, the place is lovely, the staff does an excellent job, but the price performance ratio for […]
A typical, but good Sheraton breakfast selection: Restaurant Leut @ Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel (11. October 2025)
What you find at the Leut in the Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel is a great selection of different treats for breakfast, ranging from a nice salad and vegetable bar … … to charcuterie … … salmon and an egg station … … as well as a selection of different cheeses … … yogurt, cereals and […]
Friendly staff, but the rest is rather average: Restaurant Soul Kitchen (10. October 2025)
Since I didn’t really have time to pick a place, we ended up in the Soul Kitchen, which was quite nice overall. I mean, the place is located in a lovely little patio and the staff is super friendly and attentive. That being said, I went for the “Say Cheese Honey (roasted brie with honey, […]
Hearty breakfast at the flee market: Restaurant Bonk (28. April 2019)
Somehow I had the idea of having some hearty breakfast so I went for the “Brit Burger by Mason (Mason bun, 100% baby beef, aged 40 days (180gr), lettuce, barbeque sauce, cheddar cheese, onion, aceto balsamico)” (62 HRK) which wasn’t bad but the meat could have been a bit less cooked. The “bulgur salad” (15 […]
A deserved Michelin star but with room for improvement: Restaurant Noel (27. April 2019)
I had read about the Noel getting its first Michelin star a couple of weeks back and I was super curious to try it out. And it all started quite nicely with a lovely selection of different breads. And a variety of butter starting with lard to regular salted butter and nut butter. Given, I […]
Waiters with an attitude: Swanky Monkey Garden Bar (27. April 2019)
The ‘Swanky Monkey Garden Bar’ is actually quite a lovely place. You have to know where it is as it is not entirely easy to spot the entrance but once you do, it is worth going in as there is a little terrace in the green which has a nice, simple, modernist design and it’s […]
