The Art of Adriatic Gastronomy

Located within Heritage Hotel Lucia, Restaurant Epilogo is an intimate fine dining destination where contemporary gastronomy, Adriatic heritage, and artistic expression come together through a deeply immersive culinary experience.

Guided by Executive Chef Aleksandar Kerekeš, Restaurant Epilogo presents an innovative interpretation of Mediterranean and Adriatic cuisine shaped by the chef's international experience in Spain and Japan, combined with a profound respect for Croatian culinary identity and seasonal local ingredients.

At Restaurant Epilogo, cuisine becomes a balance between precision, creativity, emotion, and nature. Inspired by the colors, textures, and rhythm of the Adriatic, every dish is designed as a visual and sensory composition where natural elements play a central role. Unexpected ingredients such as blue and green spirulina bring vibrancy, elegance, and a distinctive artistic signature to the dining experience, while refined contemporary techniques elevate the purity of each ingredient.

Seasonality and local sourcing are at the heart of the restaurant's philosophy. Adriatic seafood, Kvarner scampi, free-range island lamb, Mediterranean herbs, Croatian vineyards, and carefully selected regional products are transformed into sophisticated tasting menus that celebrate both innovation and authenticity.

The restaurant's intimate atmosphere, elegant design, and carefully curated service create a refined gastronomic journey deeply connected to Dubrovnik's cultural spirit and contemporary luxury hospitality.

03 — The Experience

It begins with Dubrovnik

Dining at Restaurant Epilogo is conceived as a curated gastronomic journey where every course reveals a new interpretation of the Adriatic.

The experience begins with a tribute to Dubrovnik itself. A series of carefully curated amuse-bouche creations are served on bespoke plates inspired by historic Dubrovnik symbols such as Libertas and the Rozeta — enduring symbols of light, heritage, and history. Exclusively crafted by local artisans for Restaurant Epilogo, each piece reflects the city's cultural heritage, artistic identity, and timeless craftsmanship.

From the very first moment, the story begins with Dubrovnik — through gastronomy, culture, art, and emotion.

Minimalist aesthetics, natural tones, unexpected colors, and carefully layered flavors create a multisensory experience inspired by Dubrovnik, Mediterranean culture, and contemporary fine dining artistry.
