Many dietologists are turning to old Mediterranean Pyramid in order to provide healthy diet plan for their patients.

The Mediterranean region in the recent past enjoyed the lowest recorded rates of chronic diseases and the highest adult life expectancy due to this dietary plan. For more details on this dietary plan please click on the link bellow.

At Dubrovnik Restaurant we follow this Mediterranean Pyramid closely with the use of freshest ingredients, olive oil and we emphasize on the use of minimally processed foods where everything is freshly made. One of our signature Croatian dip is Ajvar, which some may mistake for ready-made sauce out of the jar. However we prepare it all in our kitchen, roasting the vegetables, peeling them, grinding them and then cooking for hours to achieve the perfect texture and blend of ingredients. Even our fresh cheese is home-made in order to re-create that authentic Croatian taste when making some of our traditional appetizers, such as Strukli and Palacinke.

Mediterranean way of life has traditionally been very slow and simple, of course it is not possible for us to live the same way, but it is important for us to take advantage of the benefits of Mediterranean diet and try to make our pyramid of perfect balance.

Part 1:  Mediterranean Way of Life!

Research has proven that Mediterranean diet has many health benefits and improves the quality of life. Mediterranean diet foods include lots of fish, fruit and vegetables, especially onion, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, olive oil, whole grains and fresh herbs, which are both delicious and healthy.

 In Mediterranean diet it is important to have fresh produce and all the food needs to be prepared fresh daily. This is an important factor that we practice here at Dubrovnik Restaurant, giving our customers the freshest and highest quality ingredients. However, there is also another very important factor in Mediterranean cuisine, to eat the food slowly and enjoy it with your friends and loved ones. Our food takes time to prepare because everything is done from scratch, but at the same time it should be consumed with a slower pace.

Due to our fast moving lifestyle, surrounded with fast food which is prepared in advance with excessive amount of oil and fats, we don’t realize what damage we are doing to our body in the long run. At Dubrovnik Restaurant, we are offering an alternative to your high fat foods and that is the home cooked Mediterranean cuisine. Even those dishes that are fried, we don’t deep fry them, but we pan fry them slowly in a small amount of oil. Even for lunch hour we have created quick, but healthy lunch option with lots of vegetables, proteins and fruits. Our Head Chef has created a menu where most of the ingredients are made in house,  even our French fries are home made. We go through a long process of boiling the potatoes, cooling them off and then frying them on small amount of oil to achieve that perfect taste in the healthiest way possible. 

Mediterranean diet isn’t just a diet, but it’s a way of life!

Last week, Dubrovnik Restaurant hosted a group of local bloggers to a special evening of traditional Croatian cuisine. Many of them had not even heard of Dubrovnik City let alone taste our cuisine, so it was exciting to introduce them to our dishes and see their reactions.

Here are some photos from the night:

The bloggers have published their reviews along with their photographs. Here’s what some of them said.

Lovely ambiance, interesting & delicious food, & friendly service. The price may be slightly high, but for the quality that you get, it’s worth paying the price to try out something different.
– Ruth from The Ruthless Eaters

The lamb was tender and moist, falling off the bone, and the spices had worked in erasing the lamby smell. Highly recommended
