The charming ambiance of this place was the reason to sit an relax after a walk around city walls. And what a surprise it was! Amazing local cuisine with a modern twist. We had sporki makaruli and veal medalions in gin sauce and you could not tell which was better. The fact that it has an open kitchen was a cheeey on top of a cake, as we enjoyed every minute of wait while chatting with a chef while he prepared our food. Just perfect!

Hidden gem! Stopped in here for a light lunch and sat outside. It was highly recommended by our tour guide as a place for authentic and affordable food and was, most importantly, not tourist-trappy. We ordered 2 Lucin Kantun Gin & Tonics (lavender and rosemary scented) which were beautifully presented and well made. We followed that with the Tuna Tartare, Black Risotto, and Cheese and Spinach Rolls starters. The tuna was incredibly fresh and was complimented with salty capers and what we believe were sweet balsamic wine balls. The black risotto was perfectly cooked and included tender sea scallops mixed in. The cheese and spinach rolls were light but packed with fresh spinach flavor and came with an herbaceous green dipping sauce. All of the portions were very generous and my husband and I were pleasantly full when we finished. We highly recommend this spot to anyone touring Old Town Dubrovnik.

Small cozy place with few tables inside and outside, so it's better to book in advance. However, if you came without reservation and need to wait, you can sit on the stairs, they will bring you glass of drink and that could be a nice experience too. Staff is very friendly and treating everyone nicely, no matter if you came for 3 course dinner or just for a few tapas to share. Food is tasty and you can see how it is prepared in an open kitchen. Service is perfect, even when they are super busy: not too slow, not too fast, everything comes nicely dish after dish with nice breaks in between to enjoy the atmosphere and conversations.

We've stumbled upon this hidden gem, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences whilst in Dubrovnik.
Extremely attentive and hospitable staff, with both owners present there, it felt very inviting and made us relaxed and valued during our time at Lucin Kantun.
Steak was well-presented and delivered exactly as requested... Tender, high-quality meat, very juicy and delicious. Tapas to be recommended.
Great atmosphere, and definitely on our list when next time in Dubrovnik!

We had experience a rainy evening in this restaurant, the rain was under our feet where the waiter has been very kind a pleasant to move our table inside. We laughed a lot in this crazy atmospherere with friends and Croate people sung a typical song. Risotto with squid ink as well as the lamb with lavender and honey were perfect. Dessert with chocolate were excellent and wine glass of Muskat ++. We recommend this restaurant for their hospitality and delicious meals. It's better to book in advance. Thanks for this great memory.

Small place in a narrow street in Dubrovnik Old Town.
We ordered coffee and desserts - chocolate souffle and Creme caramel Dubrovnik Style.
1. Coffe arrived fast and it was quite good (no water with espresso but it seems to be standard in Dubrovnik)
2. For desserts were waiting over 15 min so coffee was gone by that time - it was not a good approach
3. Chocolate in souffle was not liquid and fruits were frozen (not cold or chill - frozen)
4. Creme caramel was not sweet (plus for that) but without deep taste :(
5. Presentation was very good
In general 3 of 5 for coffee and dessert

Dear Aleksander,
We are sorry to hear that you feel like this.
Let us clarify, we are not preparing souffle in advance, so it takes minimum 12 minutes to bake one after you make an order, so it is logical that it takes longer than make one coffee.
We are not a bakery, we are a restaurant.
On the other side, we have nothing but compliments for our desserts.

Really lovely food, we had beefsteak and it was delicious! Oh, the chocolate fondant at the end! The waiter was really nice, offered us local starter - bread with olive oil and balsamico - was kind to show us the proper way how to eat it :) be sure to have a cosh on you. With cash you get 15% discout. A down side is that if you want to sit to the table on the street you most likely have to wait. And we were waiting for our food for a while, spent in the restaurant almost 2 hours with only main courses and dessert, still worth it, next time we will come again.

Honestly one of the best places to eat in Dubrovnik! The dishes were all so amazing that we couldn’t pick only a couple of tapas so we got them all (minus the hummus cause we all know how that tastes like). Daniel, the waiter who was serving us was absolutely fantastic, kept checking up on us if we’re ok with food as we had ordered so many dishes, and selected the order in which we receive our plates in a way which was perfect with our cravings.
He even offered us a shot of travarica (herbal rakija) which just ended the meal on an all time high. Depending on what time you get there you might have to wait for 20-30 min but I promise you the food is well worth it.

Wow! Amazing restaurant. Unfortunately the sea-urchin, wich we were so curious about, was not deliverable for two weeks but the waiter recommanded us the tuna tartar instead. Delicious.
As a maincourse we shared the osso buco and octopus. The meat was so tender and the tomatosauce that came with the octopus tasted like tomatosauce made with a lot of love ;)
The staff was very friendly and professional. We saved this spot to recommand to friends in case they will ever go to Dubrovnik or for us; for the time we will visit Dubrovnik again.
Oh and the Lucin Kantun G&T! LOVELY!

Stopped here for lunch one day after reading all the reviews about the long dinner waits. No queues at lunch time and the same menu so would highly recommend lunching here as they don’t take dinner bookings.
We really enjoyed the black risotto (best one we had in Dubrovnik), and the lamb skewers in honey and lavender. House wine is also very reasonably priced and very good.

We booked a table at Lucin Kantun based on the recommendation of our guide on our walking tour and we were very pleased we did.
The restaurant is based on one of the narrow streets in the old town and had a good atmosphere.
We decided on the tapas menu and chose black risotto, tuna tartar, octopus salad, baked brie cheese and slow cooked beef. The risotto, a local speciality was too rich for our taste but everything else was excellent.
We were going to chose 6 tapas between 2 but the waiter said 5 was enough which was a nice touch.
We tried several different wines by the glass which were good quality and reasonable value.
Service was very good.

We had dinner yesterday night - Orsat (our waiter) was very professional and attentive. As restaurant was full when arrived, he took our drinks order and even gave us some cushions to be comfy while waiting to be seated. The service was super friendly and food lovely too. I absolutely recommend this place to everyone in town. Great choice!!

Walking around old town and feeling peckish, this place was a 1 minute walk and had an acceptable google rating. Managed to a get a table right outside the front door. I understand why it’s not used when my fork slid down the plate and fell on the floor.
I’ve not eaten as much octopus as Tony Montana, but the grilled octopus was the tastiest I’ve ever eaten.
The sardines were different, I’ve not had them battered before. I liked it.
Spinach rolls were filling. All portions were perfect for 2 people.
Coffee wasn’t great and I asked for ice and lemon with my bottled sparkling water (tap water in the city is the best I’ve had anywhere in the world but they don’t serve it here so had to go with the substandard stuff at a charge) which fell on deaf ears.
Other than that, service was good. Lots of American accents around old town so you’d expect the service to be good as they are the tip masters.

Excellent restaurant, we came twice within two weeks and have never been disappointed. We recommend the tapas which are delicious and which are very good value for money. Special mention for the black risotto and the octopus salad!
The welcome is warm and the service impeccable. The wine list is also very good.

Local food with modern twist.
This is one of those restaurants that keeps tradition alive, it offers homemade food few steps far from Stradun. We ate there couple of times and we were NOT dissapointed even we had different dishes every time.
It has charming indoor setting with open kitchen. It wasn’t easy to choose from the menu as everything looked so delicious so we had risotto, salad and fish plate. Waiters are well educated and feel free to let them to pair your food with good wines. Just amazing!!!
