Start Where the City Still Breathes: The Morning Market

We begin in Gundulić Square, where old ladies still sell what they grew themselves and the air smells like citrus and sea. This isn’t just where locals shop — it’s where the pulse of the Old Town still beats. You’ll taste the street: candied almonds, orange peel, dried figs. A sweet intro to a salty city.

Experience: Market tastings, intro to Dubrovnik’s edible traditions

Forget the Postcard — Walk the Real City

We’ll walk, not rush. Through narrow alleys tourists don’t bother with. Past homes with laundry lines and stories older than your country. Your guide doesn’t recite from a script — they live here. They’ll talk history, sure. But also: where to get the best bread, how war changed lunch, and what Dubrovnik sounds like after midnight.

Experience: Local insights, cultural storytelling, off-track exploration

Sit, Eat, Talk — the Konoba Experience

Now we sit. Family-run. No laminated menus. Just recipes passed down through generations — cooked slow, served proud. You’ll choose your path: seafood, meat, or vegetarian. Each dish paired with a local wine that doesn’t apologize for being strong. This is where you understand why Croatians take lunch seriously.

Sample Meat Menu:

Cold platter (prosciutto, sausage, cheese) + Plavac red
Dirty pasta (slow-cooked beef) + Dingač red
Carob cake + Coffee

Seafood Menu:

Black risotto + Grk white
Calamari stew + Malvasija white
Carob cake + Coffee

Vegetarian Menu:

Local cheese & olives + Grk white
Truffle pasta with mushrooms + Malvasija white
Carob cake + Coffee

Experience: Slow lunch, full table, conversation over wine

Finish With Sweet Truths

Dessert is more than a bite — it’s a pause. You’ll end with rich carob cake, brewed coffee, and the kind of talk that happens once the formalities are over. Ask what you want. Share what you’ve seen. This is Dubrovnik in its most honest moment.

Experience: Dessert, coffee, final Q&A, quiet moment to let it all settle
