Shizuku

Dubrovnik


Attentive local wait staff usher you to your table in the clean-lined, modern dining room of this popular restaurant, tucked away in a residential area between Gruž Harbour and Lapad Bay. The Japanese owners will be in the kitchen, preparing authentic sushi, sashimi, udon, crispy karaage chicken and gyoza dumplings. Wash it all down with Japanese beer or sake.
