Proto Fish Restaurant

Proto Fish Restaurant is recommended by the Michelin Guide and a popular place for celebrities. Established in 1886, the restaurant is located in the heart of Dubrovnik's historical core at the intersection of the Široka and Vara streets.  We dined here on the second level for our final dinner.


We ordered a bottle of Pošip - our favorite Croatian white wine to pair with our seafood dinner, which started with First Class Fish Tartar and Snails prepared Pelješac-style in a garlicky gravy made with red wine.  Both appetizers were fresh and pretty filling, especially with all the fresh baked bread and olive oil.

For my main dish, I enjoyed the Grilled Mediterranean Scallops which came with a silky potato mash topped with black lentils.  At first, I thought it was caviar - but sadly, it was not.  Nevertheless, this dish was delightful and I ate every last bite.

Keith ordered another Dalmatian classic - Lobster Tail with Pasta in red sauce.  The lobster was tender and he enjoyed this pasta dish.

Lastly, for dessert we shared the Rozata, a sweet pudding with a flan-like texture with almonds and an orange-caramel that was out of this world.         

We had another fantastic meal in Dubrovnik and enjoyed all the local seafood and traditional Dalmatian fare, as highlighted here at Proto.
