What makes some meals in Dubrovnik stand out — richer, lighter, and full of natural flavor? The answer often lies in the ingredients.
While not every restaurant follows this approach, places like Restaurant Posat focus on fresh, local products that bring out the best in Mediterranean cooking.

Vegetables from Nearby Villages
Many of the vegetables used in Dubrovnik’s best kitchens come from small farms just outside the city. These farms grow produce in clean air and strong sunlight, giving them a deeper, more natural taste.
At Posat, salads, sides, and garnishes all start with these local vegetables — fresh, seasonal, and full of flavor.

Seafood, Caught Daily
Dubrovnik is right on the Adriatic, and some restaurants take full advantage of this. At Posat, seafood is delivered daily by local fishermen. Fish, prawns, and shellfish are often served just hours after being caught.
This freshness means dishes like grilled fish or seafood pasta don’t need much else — a bit of olive oil, herbs, and lemon is enough.

Olive Oil, Herbs, and Wine from the Region
It’s not just the main ingredients that matter. Olive oil, herbs, and wine also come from trusted regional producers. These add subtle flavors that tie each dish to the land and sea around Dubrovnik.

Simple Food, Real Flavor
When the ingredients are this good, the cooking stays simple. There’s no need for heavy sauces or complicated techniques. A focus on freshness brings out the natural taste in every bite.
At Posat, this idea shapes the whole menu — but you’ll find it in other places too. It’s a way of cooking that lets you taste the real Dubrovnik.
