The experience
The tour starts at Onofrio's Fountain near Pile Gate, where your guide meets the group. From there you walk into the Old City proper, moving through Stradun and past Orlando's Column: the 17-foot limestone pillar erected in 1418 that once served as a public announcement site and symbol of Dubrovnik's freedom. The route weaves through the medieval streets, stopping at a traditional charcuterie board first, where you taste seven items paired with a glass of Croatian wine and hear the stories behind the ingredients and the restaurant itself.
The second stop is a family-run restaurant where you eat an appetizer and a main course with another glass of wine. The third takes you to a spot with views toward the Church of St. Blaise, where the guide explains the historical meaning of different foods while you taste a traditional charcuterie board from one of the oldest restaurants in the Old City. At the Jesuit Stairs, known locally as the Spanish steps, you reach another restaurant above them and taste two more dishes from the Dubrovnik Republic era, 16th and 19th century recipes, paired with wines from the local region. Some of these dishes are prepared only on specific days of the year and are still cooked in Dubrovnik homes today.
The final stop is a pastry shop near the Old Port where you try handcrafted desserts and a glass of local brandy or liqueur, or coffee if you prefer. The whole walk takes three hours and covers the south part of the Old City, including bars hidden in the rocks and the Gundulić Square Market, where you'll taste one of Dubrovnik's traditional sweets from a market stand. Water is provided at three stops along the way. Your guide speaks English and can answer questions about the food, the history and the city itself. Vegetarian options are available if you request them when you book.
Is this one for you?The guide speaks English throughout, so you follow the history and stories behind each dish without needing to translate. The commentary is as much about the Dubrovnik Republic and the city's centuries of culture as it is about the food itself.
