Costs of Food and Drink in Croatia In the very best restaurants of major tourist destinations Dubrovnik, Split, and Hvar, a two-course dinner excluding drinks and tips will be around US$80. At the opposite end of the scale, a similar meal in a mid-range restaurant will be around USD / EUR ?50.

The cost of dinner in Dubrovnik varies significantly between the historic Old Town and the surrounding neighborhoods. In a standard mid-range restaurant within the city walls, you should expect to pay between €40 and €70 per person for a three-course meal including a glass of local wine. Seafood is the local specialty, but items like fresh octopus or sea bass are priced by weight and can quickly drive the bill higher. . If you dine at "fine dining" establishments with a view of the Adriatic, such as those perched on the cliffs, prices can easily exceed €120 per person. For those on a budget, heading just outside the Pile or Ploče gates to local "konobas" (taverns) can reduce the cost to about €25–€35 per person. It is important to note that since Croatia joined the Eurozone and adopted the Euro in 2023, prices in tourist hubs like Dubrovnik have risen to meet Western European standards, making it one of the most expensive dining destinations in the Mediterranean.
