Eating and drinking

For self-catering, there are regular fruit and vegetable
markets
(Mon-Sat mornings) on Gunduliceva Poljana and on the waterfront at Gruz you can also buy fresh fish as soon as the boats come in. For
snacks
, try the sandwich bars lining the alleys running uphill from Stradun, notably
Kaktus
on Vetranoviceva. There's no shortage of
restaurants
in the old town. Prijeko, the street running parallel to Stradun to the north, is especially stacked with eateries, although beware of the hard sell - each waiter invariably has the biggest fish caught that day.
Rozarij
, tucked away on the corner of Prijeko and Zlatarska, is cosy, intimate and good for fresh fish; while
Kamenica
, Gunduliceva poljana 8, is an unpretentious place serving up cheap portions of
girice
(tiny deep-fried fish) and
kamenice
(oysters). Similarly informal is
Baracuda
, a tiny pizzeria on Bozidareviceva.
Konoba Posat
, uz Posat 1, is a large garden terrace just outside the Pile Gate which is good for grilled meats.
The pavement cafAŠs at the eastern end of Stradun are the places for daytime and evening
drinking
, although none of them have much atmosphere if the weather's not suitable for sitting outside. On such occasions it's best to head for the smaller cafAŠ/bars in the backstreets:
Mirage
, Buniceva Poljana, is a popular meeting point for Dubrovnik youth; while
Hard Jazz CafAŠ Troubadur
on the same square has live jazz most nights.
Otok
, Pobijana 8, is an alternative cultural centre whose cafAŠ-bar attracts bohemian types. For a more beery evening, head for
Pivnica Karaka
, Izme A?u Polaca 5. Outside the centre, ulica bana Jelacica, just above the bus station, is lined with bars buzzing until late on summer evenings - although none stand out individually. For clubbing,
Arsenal
, outside the Pile Gate, and
Esperanza
, near the bus station at Put Republike 30, are mainstream places. Gigs or themed disco nights take place at the Karantena, a cultural centre just beyond Pile Gate on Frana Supila. Other useful information
