The Heart of Croatian Cuisine
The Dalmatian coast cuisine is truly something special. It is rooted in tradition and deeply connected to its surroundings. The Adriatic provides fresh fish and seafood, and the fertile inland valleys producing seasonal vegetables, olive oil, wine, and herbs. Many restaurants follow a genuine farm-to-table philosophy, sourcing ingredients locally, often from family farms or their own gardens, and preparing dishes simply to let natural flavours shine. The result is honest, fresh cuisine featuring quality ingredients, and time-honoured family recipes that come together to create unforgettable dining experiences.
On Wednesday April 29, you will have the opportunity to dine at your leisure. Here’s a list of top-recommended restaurants at Sun Gardens Resort, in Dubrovnik Old Town and the surrounding area.
