The traditional culinary event with a humanitarian character – Dubrovnik Table – was held for the 15th time on Stradun in the very heart of the Old City of Dubrovnik. Numerous Dubrovnik hotels, restaurants, bakers, pastry chefs, caterers, and winemakers showcased their skills, accompanied by a performance from the klapa Ragussavechia.
The feast, considered the highlight of the Good Food Festival, was officially opened by the Head of the Department for Culture, Heritage, and Tourism, Julijana Antić Brautović, alongside the Director of the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, Miro Drašković.
The price of a voucher was 8 euros for food and 4 euros for wine, and as in previous years, the proceeds from the sale of culinary delicacies will be donated for humanitarian purposes. This time, the funds are intended for the Maslina Community Services Center (Dom Maslina), with a total of 15,838.39 euros raised through voucher sales.
Dubrovnik Table is the peak of the Good Food Festival, but also the first event in the Central Celebration of the UNESCO World Heritage Year in Dubrovnik, which will feature a series of events from October 20 to 27. Along the entire length of Stradun, Dubrovnik hoteliers, caterers, family farms, and winemakers showcased a variety of traditional ingredients and dishes this year.
It’s worth noting that the organizers of the Dubrovnik Table are the City of Dubrovnik, the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, the Croatian Chamber of Commerce – County Chamber Dubrovnik, the Chamber of Crafts of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, the Guild of Caterers, and the Dubrovnik Tourism and Hospitality School.
