"Barba offers a fresh take on fast food, serving tasty items like octopus and shrimp burgers, anchovy sandwiches, and fried calamari, all made with today’s catch. Located on a small side street off Stradun, the shop is tiny and friendly—the perfect pit stop during a day of Dubrovnik sightseeing. Snag the prime table by the front window and watch the rivers of people entering town through the Buža Gate as you eat. Then, be sure to contribute to the restaurant’s growing collection of wooden forks, on which customers from all over the world write messages commemorating their travels."

Soludos Founder Nick Brown on Why He Keeps Returning to Croatia

"A delightful local haunt serving fresh seafood, known for the fish of the day served on a wooden platter."

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.

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.

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.

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.

Brilliant experience here. We ordered the sharing platter which came with the octopus burger (cuttlefish ink bun!), fired fish, calamari, fried prawns, octopus salad (this was soso refreshing), potato salad, anchovies and pate on bread and a choice between fresh oysters or fried oysters (we opted for both). This was such a unique platter and we would love to come here again and order the same thing! It was quite a small restaurant and was fairly popular so you may need to wait a bit but they did work quick and the staff are so welcoming. You can also do takeout as well! - We saw some people order takeout and have this by the ocean, which would be lovely! What I loved is that they did not skimp out on the portions, it was so packed and we loved every bite! They also have wooden forks available to decorate the restaurant, which is so fun while you wait and it makes time go by so quick!

We came here as couple and we tried Shrimp Burger and Shrimp Salad. If you think of going for one of those - definitely take the Burger. It's really delicious. I love it the thing that the Shrimps are minced, so you get taste of them in every bite and it's really delicious! The Salad was just OK, but that Burger is something I'm not gonna forget soon. The prices were quite fine as well - the burger was around 15€ as well as the Salad. There aren't mane places inside, so be prepared that you might not be able to eat inside. Definitely recommended this place!

This is a small place but full of life. The staff is friendly. Their menu is not that extensive but everything on it is brilliant. We tried the octopus burger and fried calamari. Travellers from all around the world try to leave memories here on the walls. A beautiful reminder.

The place is super cozy, I did not expect it to be so good and original. We tried the octopus burger and it was a hit, although for my taste it had too much bread. It is a family business and the guy who served us could not have been nicer, he knew many languages and they make you feel at home. I would repeat a thousand times.
