Eating well in Dubrovnik means experiencing both traditional flavors and dramatic settings. The standout food tours combine local cuisine with unforgettable locations – imagine dining suspended above the Adriatic in “Dinner in the Sky” or cruising past medieval walls while sampling fresh seafood. The Farm to Table experience is especially memorable, connecting travelers directly with Dalmatian cooking traditions and local producers. My favorite option pairs Croatian tapas with fascinating stories at the historic Kupari resort – it’s intimate and authentically local. For pure romance, nothing beats watching the sun set over the Old Town while enjoying dinner on the Adriatic. These carefully selected tours showcase the best of Croatian coastal cuisine.
