Setting sail on a gastronomic journey
In a delicious development for discerning voyagers, luxury small-ship operator Unforgettable Croatia has released its highly anticipated 2025 restaurant guide – an epicurean atlas charting the most sublime dining experiences along the Dalmatian Coast. The meticulously curated compilation has expanded to feature 55 exceptional eateries, reflecting the region’s flourishing culinary landscape.
Michelin excellence meets Mediterranean tastes
The gastronomic collection spans an impressive array of cuisines – from authentic Croatian specialties and Mediterranean classics to innovative Asian-fusion concepts and thoughtfully crafted vegetarian and vegan offerings. Michelin excellence punctuates the selection, with the star-adorned Pelegrini in Šibenik and Dubrovnik’s panoramic Restaurant 360 leading a constellation that includes twelve Michelin-recommended establishments.
Beyond borders: New destinations join the culinary map
In an inspired nod to the growing popularity of the company’s cruise-and-land combinations that venture beyond Croatia’s borders, this year’s guide debuts recommendations in Slovenia’s Ljubljana and Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor – perfectly complementing the established Croatian ports of call.
Among the noteworthy newcomers are the seafood-focused Restaurant Galion in Kotor, where tables command sweeping bay views; Ljubljana’s elegant Restavracija Valvas’or, a study in Mediterranean refinement; and the atmospheric Blue Doors in Hvar, where local ingredients are transformed with contemporary flair.
The perfect blend of onboard luxury and local exploration
Each Unforgettable Croatia voyage balances shipboard indulgence – featuring daily gourmet breakfasts, three-course lunches, and select dinners – with the freedom to explore coastal towns independently come evening. This thoughtful approach invites guests to immerse themselves in Croatia’s vibrant dining scene and absorb the enchanting atmosphere of its historic ports.
“Our popular restaurant guide allows guests to discover some of the finest dining establishments in the destinations they visit. Guests can set sail on a culinary adventure, with handpicked recommendations designed to elevate their experience at every port of call.
