The Top 11 Restaurants Near Bellevue

1. Michelin Guide Selected Restaurant

A terrace running along the medieval walls above Dubrovnik's harbour, with St. John's fortress on one side and the Adriatic on the other, sets the scene for this Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant. The chef, a Dubrovnik native returned from kitchens across Europe, folds Asian technique and French precision into Mediterranean cooking. A wine list running to 450 labels leans Croatian but keeps its passport open.

The name nods to nowhere near the Balkans, but the menu is all Bosnia: grilled meats from the restaurant's own butcher shop, vegetable dishes, family-recipe specialties, and a plum baklava made by the owner's mother that regulars treat as non-negotiable. This is a convivial, unfussy sit-down restaurant in Dubrovnik's Old Town, holding a Michelin Bib Gourmand, where the staff will happily walk you through a menu that runs several pages deep. Book ahead.

The terraces hang right over the Adriatic, with the lit fortress walls of Lovrijenac close enough to feel theatrical. Nautika is a classic fine-dining restaurant at the gate of Dubrovnik's old city, serving Dalmatian cooking anchored in French and Italian technique, the kind of place that has no interest in whatever was trending last season. The team is polished, the wine list deep, and a reservation is non-negotiable.

A terrace set just above the Old Town's main pedestrian drag, far enough up to feel removed from the foot traffic below, is the anchor of this refined Mediterranean restaurant. The kitchen works strictly with local ingredients, and the menu runs from à la carte to a longer tasting format for those settling in. The room is quiet and intimate, which in Dubrovnik's summer months feels like a minor miracle.

Tables spill into a narrow lane inside the old town walls, which puts you about as deep inside medieval Dubrovnik as dinner gets. This small, informal restaurant opens with Croatian tapas, prosciutto and local cheese giving way to fish, meat, and vegetarian plates with a contemporary Mediterranean slant. The kind of place that attracts everyone from day-trippers to locals who know to book ahead.

The terrace alone could sell the meal, perched above the Adriatic with views that make the wine list almost beside the point. Pjerin is a fine dining restaurant inside Villa Dubrovnik, recently renovated into something sleek and contemporary without losing the coastal ease. The kitchen works the Mediterranean canon through seasonal ingredients and Adriatic fish, with handmade pasta a particular draw. Croatian wines arrive with a knowledgeable hand, quietly and without fanfare.
