Dinner at Konoba Forno

When going back to our hotel, we kept passing Konoba Forno, which was up a small hill. One evening, in the time after exploring and before an event we were heading too, we wanted to get some food and decided on here. Though many, many people said the meat platters were the thing to have, we wanted to try something that called itself traditional. The food at Konoba Fornzo had English under it, which often stated “traditional Croatia dish” and explained what it was.

Much like everywhere we seemed to eat in Croatia, you could sit in an open-air terrace or inside. We opted for upstairs in the open air, despite it being slightly windy, primarily because the temperature was fantastic. The staff were lovely, explaining the menu to us when we had questions. I picked a dish that was in the hot starters menu, but asked if it was big enough as a main, and they said it was! Now, I cannot find the menu online so I am not completely sure of the name of the dishes.

Climbing Fort Lovrijenac in Dubrovnik

While visiting the Old Town in Dubrovnik, we saw so many people climbing along the wall of the Old Town itself. This wall looked really crowded to us, and in the sun we didn’t want to actually hike up that many stairs. So, within eyeshot of the area, we decided to go up to Fort Lovrijenac, which is far less crowded, has less stairs, and still has fantastic views of both the ocean and the Old Town. This was a really fantastic decision for us, though if the weather was a little less hot, we might have ended up doing both as you can get a combination ticket to explore both the wall around the Old Town and this historical fort.

Dinner at La Norma

When walking around the bay, we hadn’t really planned where we wanted to eat and instead just continued walking until something caught our eye. The restaurant we ended up at was La Norma, which has a small menu divided into fun categories called things like “I LOVE FISH” and “I LOVE MEAT”, to give an idea of what you are in the mood for. They have both upstairs outdoor seating, indoor seating, and seating by the sea! After being out in the wind, we opted for indoor seating, but do like the option to sit by the sea if the weather is fantastic.

Dinner at Restaurant Portun

When you go to Croatia, everyone always tries some of their grilled meats. Every menu we went to had some sort of grill menu, so we decided to go out to Restaurant Portun and try out a big plate of meat. This place had a sign that said “Best Grill in the Area” which had us sold. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but we opted for outdoors as we wanted to enjoy the lovely evening weather. At Restaurant Portun we didn’t order a ton of different food, but we did EAT.

Lunch at Silk – Pan-Asian Fusion Food

If Dann and I are traveling, we are often trying the Asian food we find. When walking around Old Town in Dubrovnik, we stumbled upon Silk. It looks like they have a few different locations in different cities, and we were quite excited to have some delicious food. We both sat in their rooftop terrace, as the weather was so nice, but they did have a small indoor area for seating as well.
