There are dinners you forget by morning, and then there are dinners that become stories. Dinner in the Sky Dubrovnik is unmistakably the latter. Why, you ask? Well... picture this: you’re buckled into a sleek, open-air dining platform. Below, the terracotta rooftops of Dubrovnik glow in the amber light of sunset. Around you, the Adriatic stretches endlessly, ancient city walls behind you, the Elaphiti Islands on the horizon. And then, with barely a sound, the platform begins to rise.

Your heart races just a little. That first moment, where the ground drifts away and the sea breeze brushes your face, is part adrenaline rush, part cinematic dream. At 50 meters in the air, the world feels both impossibly grand and intimately quiet. And just like that, dinner begins.

Born from a Belgian concept that’s wowed guests in over 50 locations across the globe for more than 18 years, Dinner in the Sky Dubrovnik adds something special: old-world charm meets modern spectacle, with Croatia’s most picturesque city as your backdrop.

More Than a Meal, It’s an Experience

Guests are gently lifted by a custom-engineered platform that accommodates 22 lucky diners. Once airborne, it’s just you, the golden light, a rotation of stunning views, and a menu that rises to meet the moment—literally. The platform turns slowly throughout the two-hour experience, offering uninterrupted 360° panoramas of Dubrovnik’s coastline and the rugged curves of the Dalmatian shore.

There are three sittings each day. Two are more casual—Bites & Wine sessions that lean into good conversation and generous pours. But the prime-time event? That’s the sunset dinner: a full three-course affair with white linens, soft music, and a horizon that glows as the Adriatic swallows the sun.

The Menus: Regional Roots with a Fine-Dining Twist

As for the menu? It’s a culinary love letter to Croatia’s diverse regions, from Istria’s truffle-laced earthiness to Dalmatia’s sun-soaked seafood. Each menu, meat, fish, or vegetarian, is thoughtfully crafted to be indulgent yet approachable.

The meat menu, for example, opens with Dalmatian pršut nestled in a goat cheese cream, garnished with marinated mushrooms and artichokes. The main is a fork-tender veal slow-cooked to perfection, paired with a quiche of potatoes and asparagus, and finished with a velvety Café de Paris butter. Dessert? A rich chocolate mousse with wild berries and pistachio crunch.

Seafood lovers will appreciate the gin-cured smoked tuna starter, followed by Adriatic branzino with a herb crust, served atop creamy velouté with shrimp and seasonal vegetables. And the vegetarian offering surprises in all the right ways—from earthy beet tartare with balsamic pearls to golden arancini in a silky spinach sauce.

No matter the choice, every menu includes unlimited Croatian wine and soft drinks, because let’s face it, every great sky-high meal deserves a celebratory clink.

A Table for Any Occasion—Or None at All

Whether you’re marking a milestone or simply in the mood for something extraordinary, Dinner in the Sky Dubrovnik delivers. It’s a favorite for proposals and anniversaries, sure—but plenty of guests come just because the experience itself feels worth celebrating.

One diner described it as “a dinner that felt like a movie scene.” Another confessed, “I don’t even like heights, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”

You don’t need a special reason. The view, the food, the atmosphere, they’re reason enough. Just come with a sense of adventure and someone to share it with.
