About this activity

On this 3-hour food and drink tour in the Old City of Dubrovnik, discover authentic flavours and history guided by a licensed local expert. As much a history tour as a food tour, it weaves together centuries of culture and gastronomy through one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities.

You'll visit 4 spots along the way: a street food place, two traditional family-run restaurants and a dessert spot owned by a pastry chef who previously worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant. With over 10 tastings and three local wines paired throughout, you'll try recipes still cooked in Dubrovnik homes today, some prepared only on specific days of the year, and dishes rooted in 16th and 19th century tradition from the era of the Dubrovnik Republic.

The tour ends with handcrafted desserts and a glass of local liqueur or coffee. Small groups keep things personal and unhurried.

Stop 1

15 min

The Large Onofrio's Fountain is a prominent landmark in Dubrovnik, Croatia, also a meeting point for our food tour. Located at the entrance of Dubrovnik's Old Town, near Pile Gate, this large circular fountain is a remarkable example of the city's historical infrastructure and architectural grandeur.

Constructed in 1438 by the renowned Italian engineer Onofrio della Cava, the fountain was part of a complex water supply system that brought water from a well-spring located over 7 miles away. Despite suffering damage from an earthquake in 1667 and the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s, the fountain has been well-restored and continues to serve as a functional public water source, offering cool refreshment to locals and tourists alike.
