What to eat and drink in Dubrovnik
Classes here usually build the menu around local dishes. Ones to look for:
- Oysters
- Fresh oysters from the Ston bay farms on the Pelješac peninsula, a short drive from Dubrovnik.
- Rozata
- Dubrovnik's custard pudding with caramel and a dash of rose liqueur.
- Pašticada
- Beef marinated in vinegar and slow-braised with prunes and wine, served with gnocchi.
How to pick a good cooking class
- Check whether you cook every dish yourself or watch a demonstration. Hands-on classes usually cap groups at 10 to 12.
- Morning classes often start with a market walk to buy ingredients; afternoon ones go straight to the kitchen.
- Tell the host about allergies or a vegetarian diet when you book, not on the day.
- Look for a class that sends the recipes home with you, so you can cook them again.
