Small restaurant just off the main Old Town street, with some unique seafood dishes. The octopus burger was good but slightly lacking in flavour, some more filling would have been nice. The white bait was great, with a generous portion accompanied by potato salad. Very friendly service and good prices. I had high hopes for the Octopus Burger, especially after seeing it featured on Somebody Feed Phil and reading the glowing reviews on Google. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype for me. The octopus flavor was barely noticeable, and the bread-to-filling ratio felt off, too much bun. The fish was decent but didn’t stand out in any memorable way. On the bright side, the service was excellent and made the experience more enjoyable overall. Love this concept of food . I choose octopus burger and the burger bread was made with cuttlefish ink. The taste is amazing. Ante and miho(the owner) and Nina were really nice and friendly. You might have to wait if you want a table inside but there are some stairs next to the place where you can sit and wait for your turn to sit at the tables or you can have takeaway on the stairs. You can also enjoy a drink while waiting for your table. So far I recommend for a quick lunch or dinner.

I ordered takeout twice and dined in once. Overall, the food is tasty and worth coming back for. I personally wasn’t impressed by the octopus burger, but their anchovies are absolutely the best. You can substitute the side for french fries. I also tried the calamari, which were good. Dine-in wait time was around 15–20 minutes, and the food came out fairly quickly. Takeout was ready in about 10 minutes. I’d come again, even after 3 times. I saw people eat their take out on the staircase next to the restaurant.

A truly standout place in Dubrovnik. Simple, no-frills, and fast service.. but the food is absolutely delicious. Highly recommended in a city where many places focus more on appearances than quality (and price). The octopus burger is a must try…simply outstanding.
