Dubrovnik restaurants vary widely in kid-friendliness. Most traditional konobas (taverns) in the Old Town lack formal kids menus but offer simple dishes like grilled fish with vegetables or spaghetti aglio e olio (garlic and oil pasta) β these are typically well-received by children. High chairs are available at 70% of restaurants in the new town (e.g., Restaurant Podrum, Minceta Tower), but not in the Old Town due to space constraints. For picky eaters, international chains like McDonald's (near Bus Station) and Pizza Hut (in the Old Town) provide familiar options. Local kid-friendly foods include peka (slow-cooked meat/vegetables under a bell) and fresh fruit from markets like the GruΕΎ Market. Avoid seafood for toddlers β request simpler preparations. Traveler reports note that asking for "mild" or "without spices" significantly increases success at local eateries.
Baby Supplies
International baby supplies are widely available but expensive. For diapers/formula:
- Pharmacies (e.g., Farmacija chain, open 24/7 in GruΕΎ and Old Town) stock Pampers, Huggies, and international formulas (Aptamil, NAN).
- Supermarkets: Mercator (GruΕΎ, near the bus station) and Lidl (Babin Kuk) carry these, plus baby food jars (e.g., Heinz, Gerber).
- Do not rely on stores for specific brands β bring your preferred formula and diapers from home. Traveler data shows international brands cost 20-30% more than in Western Europe. Baby food is available but limited to basic vegetable/meat purees; avoid it for infants
