Best grilled seafood with amazing view! Lady Pi-Pi will catch your eye at first due to its name, and because it’s famous to go there for dinner, however, we went for lunch. Beware, first, you have to waddle up the stairs as it’s located beneath the old walls, but it is totally worth it. They have an interesting statue in front of the restaurant, representing the name. It has definitely the best view in all of Dubrovnik. It is very inviting, seating outside on the terrace with a view that also people who weren’t eating came in and took pictures. Note it is the only place in Dubrovnik's old town, which is permitted to have an outside grill. The waitress was very nice and also gave us some recommendations. We ordered seafood, as this is what you should get when in Croatia. To be more precise we ordered the Seafood platter for two, which was more food in the end than we expected. We also had a fresh salad with it. The platter for two is a great choice if you want to try various seafood, not just the catch of the day. They grilled it to perfection and we even watched as they did so. It consists of a tuna steak, tiger shrimps, fish fillets, mussels, squit, and grilled vegetables. The flavor was great, mixed nicely with the seasoning and grilling. One more tip, in case you plan to go for dinner make sure to make a reservation as they are always full. Although the Facebook page says no reservation, the waitress told us they are full during dinner time and it's best to have a reservation.

Tucked in an otherwise empty street at the top of the Old City right by the walls, we were prepared to wait here, and wait we did. Like many restaurants that don't take reservations in Croatia, they don't take names, you just queue up outside and they seat you as tables became available. They didn't have many tables for two (at least when we went) so we were asked if we'd be okay sitting with another party of 2 at a shared table. The atmosphere, all outdoors and covered in vines is very cozy - and a couple of tables at the edge of the terrace (though not many) have excellent views over the city. Now as to the food, it's excellent. Some of the best, if not the best, seafood we had during our entire trip to Croatia. They cook it all on a large grill right by your table and absolutely everything we had was delicious. We ordered the octopus starter, which was very tasty, and the seafood grill sampler for two (which I would highly recommend). The tuna steak in the seafood grill sampler may have been the best tuna steak we'd ever had.

We were staying next door to this gorgeous restaurant, so were surprised when we couldn't find a table here until our last night. Obviously this was not an issue in itself, but I found a member of the staff to be very rude and dismissive when I asked for a reservation initially (I wasn't aware they didn't take reservations). We got the last table in the restaurant at about 6.45pm (15 minutes after it opened), after which there was a massive queue outside. Some staff were also pretty curt and ignored the people in the queue, giving them no indication of how long they would be waiting. I think this is because of the amazing reputation of the restaurant, people are willing to wait regardless of how long. Ultimately, unless you arrive at 6.30, you're probably looking at an hour wait. Our server (a different member of staff) was lovely and very attentive. My hopes for the food were exceedingly high, given the beautiful setting, the relatively high prices, and the positive reviews. Unfortunately we found the grilled sea bass to be pretty dry, almost bland, and the boiled veg accompaniments were overcooked and rather mushy (see the photo, I also was only given 2 tiny cubes of potato 😔). We had already spent 2 weeks travelling around the area, and had much better fish elsewhere. If you are able to have a terrace view at this restaurant, I imagine the overall experience would be much better, as the spot is located high up by the city wall. However, where we were sat was hot, uncomfortable and we had a queue of about 30 people watching us eat our food...

Lovely setting and friendly staff gave a favourable first impression. Ditto the nice bread and decent coffee served in lovely cups. On a Saturday early afternoon we were lucky to not have to queue long at all. However, the food was a mixed experience. The mixed grill my partner ordered was nice, but the red bean burger, despite looking impressively home-made, was dry, crumbly and bland with slightly musty taste (from the beetroot in it I think but it didn't work for me!). Overall the meal wasn't substantial and the potato wedges were overcooked and hard (see burger meal pictured). Nice to have a concession to vegetarianism /veganism on a Dubrovnik menu, but you must try harder with those burgers, it felt like drawing the short straw as a vegetarian! The cheesecake for dessert was nice, no gripes there. Overall, not a bad experience but unremarkable food and extra star taken off for not being good value for money.
