Scenic Old Town spot with very good seafood and polished ambiance; prices are premium for the setting and service can swing between excellent and brusque.
Gradska kavana Arsenal ranks among Dubrovnik's finest dining establishments, anchored by exceptional harbor setting under historic arches and strong food quality highlighted by black risotto and seafood stew. Service inconsistency—ranging from gracious to brusque—and occasional speed delays prevent a higher grade, but knowledgeable wine pairings and solid execution across most visits justify grade A territory for this waterfront destination.
One caveat: Host stand and seating priority can frustrate walk-ins during peak hours
