About us

Gverovic Orsan – the best restaurant in Dubrovnik

Just 7 kilometers (about 4 miles) west of the Old Town, along the stunning Adriatic Coastal Road, you’ll find a hidden gem right on the sea: Restaurant Gverović – Orsan in the charming village of Zaton Mali.

Set inside a centuries-old orsan, a traditional stone boathouse once owned by a wealthy Renaissance nobleman, the restaurant is carved into the hillside like a natural cave. With its unique history, authentic architecture, and breathtaking waterfront setting, Gverović – Orsan offers more than just a meal. It’s an unforgettable Mediterranean experience.

Whether you’re arriving by car or boat, this is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking fresh seafood, incredible views, and the soul of old Dalmatia.

Your most memorable meal in Croatia starts here

At Gverović-Orsan, we cook the way our grandmothers taught us. Real Dalmatian food, made with love and time. The kind of dishes that have been passed down through our family for generations.

Our black risotto is the one everyone talks about. Maybe you’ve had it somewhere else but never like this. It is rich, full of depth, and tastes like the sea on a calm day. When Philip Rosenthal came here for Somebody Feed Phil, he called us the best place to eat in Dubrovnik.

And then there’s the view. The sun sets right in front of you. It starts golden, turns orange, then fades into that soft pink that makes you go quiet for a moment. The kind of sunset you remember. The kind of evening you wish would last a little longer.

We’d love to have you here. Come as you are. Come hungry. We’ll be waiting.

Here, we cook like we always have: no shortcuts, no fuss. Fish comes in fresh every morning, and we just let the ingredients speak for themselves. If you’re into seafood, grilled meats, or pasta made right, you’ll probably like it here. We also do a few local desserts and keep our veggies fresh and simple. Perfect spot with good food.

Most romantic sunset

Come for the food, stay for the sunset. Our terrace is one of those rare places where everything just feels right. The sea is memorable, the sky is breathtaking, and that golden hour is unforgettable. It’s the kind of view that makes you put your phone down and just take it all in. Whether you’re here for a quiet dinner or a special occasion, it’s a moment you’ll remember.

Our wine list was built to bring out the best in every dish we serve. Over 70 carefully chosen labels, from local favorites to classic international picks. Whether you’re into full-bodied reds, crisp whites, or something bubbly, there’s a bottle here with your name on it. Pair it with our food, take in the view, and forget about everything else for a while. This is what dining in Dubrovnik is all about.

TASTE IS A FEELING

We make food the way it should be: fresh, simple, and made with care. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is fake. Just real ingredients and old recipes that have been around longer than we have.

If you like fish, you’ll love it here. If you like something else, there’s still plenty to choose from. We’re not trying to impress anyone just feed you well.

Our staff knows the food, knows the wine, and wants you to enjoy yourself. No scripts, no rehearsed lines. Just people who love what they do, and want you to feel good while you’re here.
