Rooftop review: Embark on an unforgettable rooftop dining journey – a must for any visit! With their motto, ‘redefining the concept of fancy’, this restaurant elevates the experience. Despite the absence of a lift, due to its historic setting, the climb only adds to the anticipation and helps the justification for indulging in one of their amazing puddings! I’d highly recommend going for sunset as it brings a magical glow to the surrounding burnt orange rooftops. Though be mindful the sun is still super strong. Keep that cream on and bring a fan. I was in awe of the waiters in white gloves and how they were coping while providing an exemplary service, with special attention to accommodating my gluten-free needs. Don’t forget to bring cash for tipping and plenty of room for all the incredible food as this rooftop restaurant leaves you with unforgettable memories of Dubrovnik’s culinary delights.

Rooftop review: Carved into the rocks this bar offering a cliff-top oasis instead of a traditional rooftop. With its breathtaking setting, panoramic sea views, and laid-back ambiance, it exudes pure bliss. Though I missed the sunset due to time constraints, an evening visit still treated me to the enchantment of moonlit waves, albeit not as good for photos! Moreover, you can even visit during the day to leap off the rocks or enjoy a drink right on them – quite literally!
