Michelin Star Restaurants in Dubrovnik: Where to Book

Which Dubrovnik restaurant holds a Michelin star

Restaurant 360 carries a Michelin star, and the restaurant's own page records one star in the Michelin Guide Croatia for 2018 to 2025. It also lists 18 points and four toques from Gault Millau Croatia 2025 and a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence from 2018 to 2024. If a star is the reason for the booking, 360 is the name to put at the top of the shortlist.

The broader Michelin field in the city is a different matter. Restaurant Dubrovnik describes itself as Michelin recommended since 2017, a status that reflects approval from the guide's inspectors without the award of a star. Both are legitimate reasons to book, but they buy different things: one is a tasting-menu evening built around a single chef's cooking, the other is a house that is listed in the guide and lets you order at your own pace.

Michelin status is re-examined with each edition of the guide, so a list saved from an earlier year can go out of date. Before planning a trip around starred cooking, check the current Michelin Guide selection for Croatia.

Restaurant 360: where it sits on Sv. Dominka

The address is Sv. Dominka bb, a lane in Dubrovnik's old town, which puts 360 within the city walls rather than on the waterfront. You eat inside the walls, and the walk in through the old town is part of the evening. The setting is atmospheric and busy rather than quiet and local.

The restaurant publishes a dress code of elegant, which sets the tone before you arrive: smart trousers or a dress rather than beachwear, and no need for black tie. Service runs in the evening only, from Tuesday to Sunday, 18.00 to 00.00, with the restaurant closed on Mondays, so booking ahead is the sensible default rather than an option.

If the walled setting is the draw but the tasting menu is not what you want, Dubrovnik has plenty of terraces with a view at lower prices. Our guide to restaurants with a view Dubrovnik covers the rooftops and cliff ledges that deliver the scenery without the star.

What chef Marijo Curić cooks: the two five-course tasting menus and the à la carte option

The kitchen is led by Marijo Curić, who was named Gault Millau Croatia's Chef of the Year in 2023, and the format is built around his cooking rather than a long printed list. Restaurant 360 serves two five-course tasting menus, alongside a shortened route through an à la carte menu. That structure is the real decision of the evening: the full tasting menu for a long sitting, or the abbreviated à la carte for a shorter one.

The à la carte option matters for anyone who finds five courses too much, or who wants to be out in time for an early start the next morning. The menus change with the season and the chef's planning.

The wine side is serious, which is why the restaurant has drawn a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence each year from 2018 to 2024, and a table can stay with glasses chosen to match the courses. Keep the drinking moderate if you have a long walk back through the old town.

How a dinner at 360 works: dinner-only service, the elegant dress code and booking ahead

Book directly with the restaurant by phone on +385 20 322 222 or by email, and do it well ahead in July and August, when the old town's dinner slots go first. Because the restaurant serves dinner only, an evening table fits around a full day in the city. Monday is the closing day, so a short break that lands on a Monday needs rearranging around it.

Choose the tasting menu when you want the full experience and have the evening free, and the à la carte when you want the room and the cooking without a long sitting. Either way, mention allergies or anything you do not eat at the time of booking, since a fixed menu is harder to adjust at the table.

For a quieter evening built around two people rather than a group, look beyond the tasting-menu rooms of the old town. Couples who want atmosphere without a five-course commitment have plenty of alternatives across the city.

Michelin-recognised Dubrovnik restaurants without a star: Restaurant Dubrovnik and chef Dado

Restaurant Dubrovnik is the obvious second name for anyone chasing Michelin recognition, and it is clear about what it holds: a recommendation from the guide since 2017, with chef Dado in the kitchen. That is a different proposition from a star, and booking it expecting starred cooking will leave you disappointed for no good reason.

The distinction matters most when you are choosing between the two for a single big dinner. One gives you a five-course tasting menu inside the walls; the other is a Michelin-recommended kitchen that leaves you to order at your own pace. Decide which of those you actually want before you compare anything else.

For any other Michelin-listed address in Dubrovnik, the Michelin Guide's Croatia selection is the place to look. Names come and go between editions, so check the current selection rather than a list saved from an earlier year.

How Dubrovnik's starred dining compares with the city's konoba cooking

A konoba is a traditional tavern, and Dubrovnik's best known ones trade in grilled fish, simple stews and local vegetables rather than courses. That cooking is the everyday pleasure of eating here, and it costs a fraction of a starred dinner. Choosing between the two is less about quality than about what kind of evening you have in mind.

Outside the old town, the Lapad restaurants around the bay and the Babin Kuk restaurants at the tip of the peninsula are worth the trip for tavern cooking away from the walls. Both areas lie a short bus ride or a long walk from the old town.

Families will usually get more out of the konoba side of the city, where portions are generous and the bill is predictable. Our family restaurants Dubrovnik selection covers the tables that work with children, leaving a starred dinner for an evening when someone else is looking after them.

The Lapad promenade and Babin Kuk also hold the waterfront and beach-side tables that suit a long lunch after swimming. Those are covered in our picks of waterfront restaurants Dubrovnik and the beach restaurant Dubrovnik options along the coast.

Who 360 suits and who should book elsewhere

Restaurant 360 suits anyone marking an occasion inside the old town who wants one long, carefully cooked dinner and is happy to dress for it. It also suits travellers who would rather spend their food budget on a single memorable evening than on several mid-range ones.

It is the wrong choice for a family with young children, for anyone who wants an early night, or for a table that prefers to order freely from a long menu. It also makes little sense for a Monday, when the restaurant is closed.

Travellers continuing down the coast can compare the same decision in other cities. Our guides to the fine dining Split scene and to fine dining Hvar set out what each place offers at the top end.

Should You Book 360 or Stay with the Konobas?

Book 360 if you want its starred dinner, you are free on an evening other than Monday, and you are prepared to dress up and sit through five courses. Choose the à la carte route if the length of the tasting menu puts you off, and book by phone or email well before you travel in summer.

Otherwise, spend the money on several konoba dinners and one Michelin-recommended evening at Restaurant Dubrovnik. That combination gives you more of the city's cooking for the same outlay, and it leaves your evenings free.
