Konoba Kopun

Ordered Pasticada and and Dubrovnik capon(chicken). Wife said chicken dish was okay. My pasticada felt somewhat dry. I was in Stari grad the night before and ordered a braised Beef cheek dish and it was soft and melt in your mouth. The one here was somewhat dry and seemed like it was just beef with gravy poured over it. As the center of the beef looked really dry.

Restaurant Kopun is beautifully located atop the Jesuit Steps in Dubrovnik’s Old Town, offering a peaceful setting away from the bustling crowds. The square is charming, and the outdoor seating area has a lovely historic ambiance. We were excited to try traditional Croatian cuisine in such a picturesque spot. We ordered the signature capon dish, which was tender and thoughtfully prepared, though not as flavorful as expected. The black risotto and cheese starter were decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Presentation was nice, but portions felt modest for the price. Service was polite but inconsistent—staff seemed distracted at times, and we waited longer than expected between courses. One major downside was the number of flies and bees swarming around the outdoor tables. It was difficult to enjoy the meal while constantly swatting insects away, and it made the experience feel more stressful than relaxing. For a restaurant of this caliber, we expected better pest control. The wine recommendation was a highlight and paired well with the meal. Overall, Kopun offers a pleasant setting and a menu rooted in tradition, but the uneven service, modest portions, and insect issue detracted from the experience. Worth visiting for the location, but not a must-return.

Decided to come here because I saw it when walking around and then a YouTube recommendation. They had set menu option that included a Mediterranean Salad, Capon in mushroom with gnocchi and Dubrovnik Cake (almond and orange). The server at the beginning was excellent. He recommended I try the pre set meal. Each course had tons of flavor and was very good. When you price out anything else on the menu to match this, it’s an excellent deal. I gave service 1 star because the waiter that closed me out scoffed at my tip. Maybe he watched cash, or because I’m American 20%. But what a way to ruin an otherwise excellent experience. Without that clown it’s 5 stars all day from every angle.

We ordered capon, black squid risotto, pasticada. All were served and plated very nicely and it was such an enjoyable dining experience. After having experienced poor customer service at another restaurant, I was worried I would anticipate something similar here but that was not the case at all! Waiting staff here were friendly and made us feel very comfortable and provided a very enjoyable dinner for us. The surroundings of this restaurant are very serene as well. Would recommend to visit here !

The food, service and atmosphere were extraordinary. This is a popular restaurant in a busy location so reservations are essential. I had the house specialty, capon, so delicious. My wife had the seafood stew and loved it.
