Much Ado About Nishta

In Dubrovnik's Old Town, there is much ado about Nishta ("Nothing" in Croatian language) and in this case it is well deserved. A gem among the sea of tourist-trap restaurants that line Prijeko, this is Dubrovnik's only vegetarian restaurant. Its uniqueness is evident in the brightly-colored, playful theme which is centered around the animals you will not be eating. Your hosts Gil & Ruza have traveled the world to learn international cooking techniques and to assemble the small menu, which includes dishes ranging from Red Thai Curry to Tempeh Burritos. The spring rolls starter is especially good and everything goes great with a local Dalmatian white wine. Note to meat-eaters: do not be deterred by the 'vegetarian' label as this restaurant receives rave reviews from everyone!

Nishta is located at Prijeko 30; be sure to check out the same owners' smoothie bar just around the corner at Palmoticeva 5.
