Croatian traditional food varies from one Croatian region to another. Along the Dalmatian coast and on the islands, the area where you will be cruising on your yacht, you will mostly find typical Mediterranean cuisine. The Dalmatian menu is based heavily on fish, green veggies, olive oil, and fresh herbs like garlic, rosemary and parsley. These handpicked restaurants offer a wide variety of dishes that will speak to your imagination.
After a pleasant transfer with the tender from the yacht, it is a quick stroll to Restaurant 360 in Dubrovnik. The restaurant boasts an absolute magical setting, starting with the entrance through Dubrovnik’s imposing city walls. You will be welcomed with real professionalism and then accompanied to the terrace. Here, the name of the restaurant instantly becomes clear, the view extends for 360°, taking in the rooftops of this exquisite town, the port you just came from and glimpses of the coast. The young and dynamic staff is happy to provide information on the ingredients and composition of the elaborate, expertly prepared and beautifully presented dishes, as well as on the wines.
The food at Restaurant 360 is the perfect combination of local ingredients with a modern twist. The truffle butter, served with the bread, leaves quite an impression and the gamberi rossi that kicks off the tasting menu is not only great, but a picturesque still life as well. The slowly cooked black pork neck will be one of the most tender pieces of meat you will ever have tasted and the sommeliers go out of their way to find an excellent wine combination to
accommodate the varying individual palates. The chocolate parfait with hot chocolate foam and raspberry sorbet is the perfect dessert to finish your enchanting evening in Dubrovnik.
Opened in 2013, restaurant Dvor, in Split, has become one of the best Croatian restaurants in just a couple of years.

In spring and summer the menu is more based on products harvested from the sea, and during autumn and winter more on land products. The wine list offers various Dalmatian wines, but wines from other Croatian regions are represented as well.

The excellent service completes your romantic evening in Split and you will feel nothing but joy walking back to the tender to go home to the yacht.
