"Barba offers a fresh take on fast food, serving tasty items like octopus and shrimp burgers, anchovy sandwiches, and fried calamari, all made with today’s catch. Located on a small side street off Stradun, the shop is tiny and friendly—the perfect pit stop during a day of Dubrovnik sightseeing. Snag the prime table by the front window and watch the rivers of people entering town through the Buža Gate as you eat. Then, be sure to contribute to the restaurant’s growing collection of wooden forks, on which customers from all over the world write messages commemorating their travels."

I had high hopes for the Octopus Burger, especially after seeing it featured on Somebody Feed Phil and reading the glowing reviews on Google. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype for me. The octopus flavor was barely noticeable, and the bread-to-filling ratio felt off, too much bun. The fish was decent but didn’t stand out in any memorable way. On the bright side, the service was excellent and made the experience more enjoyable overall.

We came here as couple and we tried Shrimp Burger and Shrimp Salad. If you think of going for one of those - definitely take the Burger. It's really delicious. I love it the thing that the Shrimps are minced, so you get taste of them in every bite and it's really delicious! The Salad was just OK, but that Burger is something I'm not gonna forget soon. The prices were quite fine as well - the burger was around 15€ as well as the Salad. There aren't mane places inside, so be prepared that you might not be able to eat inside. Definitely recommended this place!

Love this concept of food . I choose octopus burger and the burger bread was made with cuttlefish ink. The taste is amazing. Ante and miho(the owner) and Nina were really nice and friendly. You might have to wait if you want a table inside but there are some stairs next to the place where you can sit and wait for your turn to sit at the tables or you can have takeaway on the stairs. You can also enjoy a drink while waiting for your table. So far I recommend for a quick lunch or dinner.

The place is super cozy, I did not expect it to be so good and original. We tried the octopus burger and it was a hit, although for my taste it had too much bread. It is a family business and the guy who served us could not have been nicer, he knew many languages and they make you feel at home. I would repeat a thousand times.

Food, service and atmosphere = 5/5. The owner Evis and her cousin/worker Eva were super friendly and hospitable. They recommended the Octopus burger which was delicious. Loved every bite of it. Above all was their customer service and the conversation that we had while my burger was being made. Restaurant was clean and hygienic. Highly recommended!! Would definitely visit again! Thank you Evis 😊

I ordered takeout twice and dined in once. Overall, the food is tasty and worth coming back for. I personally wasn’t impressed by the octopus burger, but their anchovies are absolutely the best. You can substitute the side for french fries. I also tried the calamari, which were good. Dine-in wait time was around 15–20 minutes, and the food came out fairly quickly. Takeout was ready in about 10 minutes. I’d come again, even after 3 times. I saw people eat their take out on the staircase next to the restaurant.

As a Local Guide, I can honestly say this place is a real gem. We came for dinner as a family of four with two small children and were welcomed with genuine warmth. The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and patient — which made all the difference. The food was excellent: fresh ingredients, beautifully presented dishes, and generous portions at fair prices. You can tell they really care about quality and hospitality here. A lovely spot for families or anyone who appreciates good food and kind service. Highly recommended! 👏😊

Brilliant experience here. We ordered the sharing platter which came with the octopus burger (cuttlefish ink bun!), fired fish, calamari, fried prawns, octopus salad (this was soso refreshing), potato salad, anchovies and pate on bread and a choice between fresh oysters or fried oysters (we opted for both). This was such a unique platter and we would love to come here again and order the same thing! It was quite a small restaurant and was fairly popular so you may need to wait a bit but they did work quick and the staff are so welcoming. You can also do takeout as well! - We saw some people order takeout and have this by the ocean, which would be lovely! What I loved is that they did not skimp out on the portions, it was so packed and we loved every bite! They also have wooden forks available to decorate the restaurant, which is so fun while you wait and it makes time go by so quick!
