Meal prices are per person, based on three courses with wine. At the time of

publication there were 8.10 Croatian kunas to one British pound.

### 1. Orhan

|
|
In a stunning location just outside Pile Gate, you'll find Orhan's delightful
|
|
waterside terrace at the foot of the floodlit Lovrijenac Fortress. Seafood
|
|
lovers might opt for the fish platter for two, which varies daily depending on
|
|
the morning's catch, while carnivores will relish the pe?ena teletina (roast
|
|
veal).

### 2. Tovjerna Sesame

|
A 10-min walk from the old town, Sesame occupies a 19th-century house
|
|
furnished with antiques and a charming raised terrace. Offering a slightly
|
|
more varied menu than most Dubrovnik restaurants, you can expect goodies such
|
|
as tagliatelle with truffles, fresh lobster, barbecued steaks, and colourful
|
|
seasonal salads.

### 4. Dundo Maroje
|
|
|
|
Patronised by locals and visitors alike, this konoba (tavern) lies hidden away
|
|
in a narrow side street off Placa. Diners begin with complimentary riblja
|
|
pašteta (fish pate), then feast on Dalmatian specialities such as dagnje na
|
|
buzaru (mussels in white wine and garlic), crni rižot (black risotto made from
|
|
cuttlefish ink) and škampi na žaru (grilled shrimps).

This informal, family-run eatery serves generous platters of girice (small
|
|
fried fish, similar to whitebait) and pržene lignje (fried squid) at outdoor
|
|
tables overlooking the open-air market. If you want a desert there's no
|
|
choice, just one standard dish, rožata, a Dubrovnik speciality similar to
|
|
creme caramel.

### Bars and cafes
|
|
|
|
For morning coffee or an after-dinner nightcap try Gradska Kavana (Pred Dvorom
|
|
1, 00 385 20 321202; [www.mea-culpa.hr)][7] occupying an elegant double height
|
|
space with wooden parquet floors, brass balustrades and chandeliers, and a
|
|
lovely terrace out front looking down Placa.
|
|
|
|
Jazz and rock enthusiasts should head for the mythical Troubadour Hard Jazz
|
|
Cafe (Buni?eva Poljana 2; 00 305 20 323476), run by the Van Bloemen family who
|
|
founded the Troubadour in Earl's Court, London, in 1954, then sold it in 1970
|
|
and moved to Dubrovnik.
|
|
|
|
However, many people's favourite remains tiny informal Buža (Od Margarite; 00
|
|
385 91 5894936) on the rocks overlooking the sea, just outside the city walls.
|
|
Drinks are served in plastic cups at candlelit tables into the early hours.
|
|
|
|
### Nightlife
|
|
|
|
A chichi beach club by day, **East-West** (Frana Supila bb; 00 385 20 412220;
|
|
[www.ew-dubrovnik.com)][8] transforms into a bar-restaurant and club come
|
|
sunset, with a rooftop open-air lounge serving cocktails till daybreak.
|
|
Celebrity visitors spotted here include British footballer Rio Ferdinand and
|
|
US actress Tara Reid. You'll find it on Banje beach, just outside the old
|
|
town. Summer only.
|
|
|
|
Equally ostentatious, **Gils Pop Lounge** (Svetog Dominika bb; 00 385 20
|
|
322221; [www.gilsdubrovnik.com)][9] is an open-air summer venue on a raised
|
|
terrace within the city walls, affording fantastic view over the old harbour.
|
|
Think white leather sofas, pink and purple scatter cushions and beanbags,
|
|
cocktails, finger food and funky music. The adjoining restaurant serves French
|
|
fusion cuisine at exorbitant prices. Summer only.
|
|
|
|
For a more laid back night scene, try **Lazareti** (Frana Supila 8; 00 385 20
|
|
324633), just outside the city walls, near Plo?e Gate. Occupying the 16th-
|
|
century quarantine buildings, Lazareti hosts art exhibitions and art workshops
|
|
during the day, then functions as an alternative club after dark. Electronica
|
|
predominates, and they also stage concerts and rave parties attracting
|
|
international DJ's. Open all year.
|
|
|
|
### **Shopping **
|
|
|
|
For most visitors, the most memorable shopping experience is a browse round
|
|
the open-air market (Gunduli?eva Poljana; mornings only) in the old town, with
|
|
stalls laden with seasonal fruit and vegetables plus locally produced cheeses
|
|
and dried lavender.
|
|
|
|
**Algoritam **(Placa 8; 00 385 20 322044) is the best place to track down
|
|
English-language novels and guide books.
|
|
|
|
**Jewellery Gallery Djardin **(Miha Pracata 8; 00 385 20 324744; [www.cro-art-
|
|
design.com)][10] is set in a lovely courtyard garden in the old town, and
|
|
stocks slightly eccentric one-off necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings
|
|
made by two local jewellery designers.
|
|
|
|
**Boutique Croata **(Pred Dvorom 2, 020 323526, [www.croata.hr),][11] stocks
|
|
silk ties in presentation boxes, complete with a short 'History of the Tie'
|
|
explaining that it originated in Croatia in the 17th century.
|
|
|
|
**Dubrova?ka Ku?a **(Svetog Dominika 2; 00 385 20 322092; [www.dubrovacka-
|
|
kuca.com)][12] occupies the medieval St Dominik's tower, and displays Croatian
|
|
wines, rakija, olive oil and honey on the ground floor, plus paintings by
|
|
local artists on the two upper levels.
