Konoba Dubrava

Dubrovnik


Nestled in a patch of forest on the Srđ hill plateau, this rustic tavern offers a refreshing change from the old town’s neatly set terraces and polished stone piazzas. The dishes here are simple and mainly grilled, but if you call in advance, you can pre-order the traditional peka – lamb, veal or octopus prepared under a domed baking lid.
