Restaurant Dubrovnik is placed on the terrace surrounded by typical Dubrovnik stone houses which dates from the time of the famous Republic of Dubrovnik.The city is as old as 7th century. Republic of Dubrovnik (Republic of Ragusa) existed from 1358 to 1808 and it was ruled by nobility, several aristocratic families who lived in the Old Town together with the regular citizens. The moto of the rule was „Obliti privatorum publica curate“ (Forget private affairs, take care of public ones). Each noble family used to have a coat of arms which represented the family. One of those families is Bunić (lat. Bona), one of the oldest European noble families and the oldest one in Dubrovnik.
Right in front of our restaurant you can see their house and the beautiful coat of arms on the facade. Terrace of the restaurant Dubrovnik was used as the playgroud of the Bunic family. The nobility in Dubrovnik used to serve in legislature, as judges and diplomats. Also, they used to elect the Rector (head of state) every month! Why? In order to prevent corruption! Republic of Dubrovnik abolished slavery in 1416, it had clean water in 1436 and it was the first state to recognize the independence of the United States of America. Some historians state that Dubrovnik was the first state to do so. It had a high level in diplomacy, in culture and it had a great maritime trade.
