We discovered Villa Ruza on our last trip to Croatia and have previously reviewed it on here. That time it was pretty special - a magical and memorable dining experience with some fantastic food. Being back in Croatia this time, the first place we wanted to go back to was Villa Ruza, although at the back of my mind was... More

Stunning location above the bay among pine trees. Can anchor stern to off their jetty or pick up a mooring. Prawns tempura to die for but don't order the lamb 'under the bell', overcooked and all bones. Order delicious grilled lamb chops, steak or fish instead! Friendly, immaculate service.

We went to villa ruza for my birthday when on holiday, the food was so good we ended up going again. The food is of a high quality, they deserve a michelin star! Waiter service was out of this world, our glasses were never empty, we didn't want for anything plus they spoke better english than us. Wide variety of... More

We went to Villa Ruza after reading reviews on this site and were not dissapointed, first class service, fab views, gorgeous food, reasonably priced. We were given a glass of orange liqeur to start and a plate with a small triangle of cheese and thin slice of beetroot, which was delicious. My husband had 3 courses and I had 2,... More

Read the reviews before our trip to Kolocep and booked a table for later in the week as soon as we arrived. We were definitely not disappointed, the situation is perfect, we watched a most beautiful sunset as we ate a most stunning meal; our waiter gave us the best service we have ever had, his manners were exceptional, he...

I picked this restaurant for my boyfriend's 40th birthday dinner based on the TripAdvisor reviews. I emailed them about booking a table and how to get there and they responded instantly and were very helpful. They arranged a motor boat to pick us up from the port in Dubrovnik and take us back. It cost €130 return but it was... More

Everything about this restaurant is first class, the food, service, atmosphere and scenery!! I can't praise this little slice of heaven enough. The tables are on the sea front where you can watch the sunset over a stunning three course meal, complementary samples of speciality drinks and food are provided in between courses. The menu is not as extensive as... More

A pearl wedding anniversary(30years) to remember. Speedboat trip across a sparkling sea. Met at the private jetty to be escorted to the table overlooking the sea. As the sun slips slowly into the sea we enjoy fantastic food and drink. This place has the prefect combination of amazing location, exquisite food and excellent service. If you want something special make... More
