Gverović – Orsan | Štikovica

Stunning scenery, delicious food and great staff, what more could you want?

We ordered Octopus Salad, Rump Steak, Black Risotto and Seafood Pasta. The Octopus Salad was fresh and not overly dressed, all the ingredients were still their natural colour which made it look amazing! The Rump Steak was amazingly juicy and cooked to perfection. Although the vegetables were a bit plain, it matched very well with the meat. The Black Risotto was perfect, had an amazing depth of flavour, loads of seafood and great texture, no complaints. The Seafood Pasta was very nice, amazing tomato base, was rich and had plenty of perfectly cooked seafood.

Great place and I would definitely recommend you visit.

Absolutely exquisite from start to finish. We sat right on the water and the view was breathtaking. Damir helped to recommend each of our courses and we’re so glad we listened to him. He was warm and friendly and made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely incredible— so fresh and made with minimal ingredients. Truly one of the best, if not the best, dining experiences of our lives. A must visit!

Ever since seeing this restaurant in an episode of Somebody Feed Phil I made it my mission to eat here if I even had the chance to visit Dubrovnik. I have to agree that this is probably one of the best fish restaurants I have even dined in...not that I am a food expert. Every single dish we ordered is well presented and very very delicious. The portion sizes were also generous. We didn't order any desserts, but the starters and mains were pretty amazing. The Black risotto is a must try and so was the octopus salad starter/appetizer. The location was beautifully surrendered by the lovely sea and landscape. Service was brilliant, professional and friendly. It was a little pricey but worth every penny. If you are ever at Dubrovnik, please do not miss out on the outstanding restaurant.

Enjoyed a late lunch here. Picked it because it was open, along our route, and they had some open parking. Note, it looked like @ 3-4 spaces so dont count on finding parking if in prime time.

The food was good but the prices were well alone prices that we experienced in Dubrovnik. Really quaint location with a very peaceful viewm across the bay. All that said, and I do not think the view wanted the prices. For example, the Octopus salad is normally @ 15 €... but here it was 25€... Nevertheless, all the food was good. Expect to pay a premium price.

Unfortunately, we were ruched to get to the Airport. Lovely lovely location.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gverovic - Orsan, and it was an unforgettable experience that left us with wonderful memories. From the serene and romantic setting to the extraordinary food, everything about our evening was truly exceptional.

First and foremost, let me start by praising the food. The squid ink risotto that we ordered was nothing short of perfection. The flavors were rich and balanced, and the texture was just right. We were so impressed that we could have happily devoured another serving of this delectable dish. It was undoubtedly a 10/10.

However, it wasn't just the food that made our dining experience stand out. The service provided by Damir was truly outstanding. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us with a warm and friendly demeanor. His genuine care for customers was evident in every interaction. He went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout the evening. His attentiveness and professionalism added an extra layer of enjoyment to our already delightful meal.

The picturesque views and tranquil atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for a romantic evening. It was truly a place where we could unwind, relax, and savor the seafood.

BEST FRESH FISH PLACE in/around Dubrovnik.

Hands down - this is a must place to visit and eat. Locally and fresh fish. Super delicious black risotto and a staff that allows you to have a great time.

Big thank you to our waiter Ivan. His recommendations: scorpion fish, oysters, and scallops were just out of this world.

THANK YOU. Will recommend to anyone and come back for sure.

Go here if you can. It is really nice. When sitting outside that is.

This experience was incredible. Watching the sunset transition to dining tables on the water felt like a dream. The cuisine was outstanding, with the house bread being worth the trip by itself. We believe the white risotto steals the show. The gnocchi is pleasing and rich in creaminess, with both dishes featuring an abundance of baby shrimp. While the seafood pasta was tasty, I found the noodles slightly undercooked, so it wasn't the group's top pick. The scampi, however, was top-notch. Portions are generous, perfect for sharing. That said, I couldn't help but savor all of my white risotto on my own.

Beautiful cool spot on a hot day, the food is expensive but not unreasonable. Service was really good but it was a quiet day. Really enjoyed the delicious seafood pasta and the gnocchi was truly the best gnocchi I've ever had.

Could do with a baby changing space but it wasn't a deal breaker.

Favorite dining experience in or near Dubrovnik. It's only 10-15 minutes from Old Town. Perfect seasoning, excellent service, better view. It's private and romantic with a menu not typical of most restaurants you'll find in the region. A true treasure. We both ordered the seafood pasta. It was served family style - perfect!

An amazing dinner, matched by the gorgeous setting & brilliant service. The highlight dinner of our 6 days in Dubrovnik, with fresh seafood highlighted by simple preparation to stay true to the flavour. Starters included the octopus salad, “Orsan” prawn tartare (amazing) & ston oysters. Shared mains included baked Red Scorpion fish & the Squid Ink Risotto. The personal & passionate service from Damir made our evening truly special. Thank you for a memorable evening!

Each with it's own typical flavors of honest Croatian cuisine, several local fresh fish dishes are being cooked and served to perfection.

For the past couple of decades the restaurant has relentlessly lived up to it's reputation as best seafood restaurant among locals and tourists.
A quaint and cosy terrace overviews a spectacular and romantic scenery as it borders a cristal-clear Adriatic Sea surrounded by verdant rolling rock hills. A light autumn breeze is winnowing over the pittoresque bay area which complements the ear candy music during a spectacular sunset.

For starters we had the fish soup and seafood pasta which tasted delicious.
For main course we ordered shrimps and the signature dish of black risotto which I highly recommend. But the star of the menu was without a doubt the catch of the day "redscorpion fish" which was cooked and seasoned to perfection.
For desserts we ordered the typical Dubrovnik crème caramel, the cheese cake which tasted light, fluffy and fresh to the palate and the pancakes which were surprisingly stuffed with a non sweetened crumble, attaining a perfect gustatory balance.

By far and large, the spectacular scenery combined with their nationwide reputation as best seafood restaurant , makes this restaurant a rare and hidden gemstone you stumle upon once in a Blue Moon.

Oysters were fresh, seafood pasta was superb!
Great lunch next to the water very relaxing!
Highly recommended when in Zaton Bay.

Absolutely breathtaking views at sunset! The staff was exceptional answering questions and making us laugh many times. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. Highly recommend the black risotto!

The food was divine! The service was impeccable. Highly recommend. Scorpion fish was delicious. Don’t miss dessert! Beautiful old boathouse on the water. Romantic!!

We had the scorpion fish, it was delicious!

Very nice small restaurant. Perfect for sunset 🌇 dinner.

Amazing location for an evening meal. Our waiter was very helpful, her recommendations were spot on. Not the cheapest but definitely worth it.

Absolutely Beautiful place right along water!!! Came during sunset and it was sublime to have a meal during that time. Visiting for honeymoon and this was the perfect romantic setting. Food and wine was lovely! Food a little expensive compared to other Croatia restaurants but felt reasonable with the decor.

Such an amazing place!!! Dinning whilst feet touching sea water and eating seafood which can't be tasted anywhere else. The black risotto was actually invented there more than 50 years ago and it's still been a must try dish. We also ate a delicious fish stew (brodet). I come from Dalmatia and I regularly eat brodet but this one was really something special! The combination of seafood and spices in it which Chef Eta mixed was something unbelievable extraordinary. The only downside of this dish is that it has to be cooked for 2 hours and therefore ordered in advance.
