The Dubrovnik restaurant 360º has become the first ever restaurant in Dubrovnik to hold the prestigious Michelin star.

The result comes after a very secret tour of Croatian restaurants by professional Michelin inspectors, who visited hundreds of restaurants around the country in 2017. A new guide to Croatia has been published on the Michelin website, the world's most significant and most prestigious restaurant guide.

There are now three restaurants in Croatia with Michelin stars, the first restaurant was Monte in Rovinj, who were awarded the star last year, and now Pelegrini in Sibenik and 360º in Dubrovnik have been awarded one Michelin star.

"Croatia is on the gastronomic chart of the world, which we certainly deserve. The new Michelin stars and recommendations to Croatian restaurants are proof that our gastronomic scene meets the very demanding international quality criteria,” commented the Director of the Croatian National Tourist Board, Kristjan Staničić.
