Gault&Millau's review 2026

About twenty kilometres from Dubrovnik, Cavtat offers a relaxed alternative to the crowds of Stradun and has quietly become an appealing culinary destination. One of its highlights is Ludo More, a restaurant with a spacious modern terrace overlooking the sea and the small boats of the harbour. An outdoor stone grill, an open kitchen and dry-ageing fish refrigerators, make it clear that the focus here is entirely on fish and seafood. The menu changes daily depending on the catch and seasonal ingredients, many of which come from the restaurant’s own garden. Traditional dishes are reinterpreted with subtle contemporary touches. Starters range from spicy tuna and bonito pâté to green peppers served with honey and olive oil, tempura zucchini blossoms filled with ricotta and lemon, and cod fritters inspired by Portuguese cuisine. Among the mains, the risotto with smoked shrimp and zucchini competes with a delicate white buzara of wild mussels, clams and shrimp. The kitchen also prepares dry-aged fish, bakes bread and focaccia daily. Highly recommended is to finish your meal with refined desserts such as bourbon vanilla ice cream and lime sorbet.
