Bota Šare Oyster & Sushi Bar

We came across Bota Šare Oyster & Sushi Bar thanks to a local recommendation, and we’re so glad we went. It was also our very first time trying oysters – and what a perfect place to do so! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, attentive without ever being pushy. The oysters were fresh and delicious, and the sushi was beautifully prepared. On top of that, we got a great recommendation for a local Croatian wine that paired perfectly with the meal. The setting itself is lovely, tucked away in a side street of Dubrovnik, which adds to the charm. All in all, this place is a definite recommendation! 🦪

Great sushi spot in Old Town Dubrovnik! The fish was very fresh and prices were fair considering the usual Old Town markup. Definitely book a reservation in advance—otherwise you could be waiting 20–35 minutes for a cancellation or no-show. Worth the stop if you’re craving sushi in Dubrovnik.

This was one of the best lunches we had in Dubrovnik, and much better sushi than some of the other places in town. The oysters were so delicious, we ordered a second dozen. The cocktails were also fantastic! All seven people in our party had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this place when visiting the area.

Proper loved this place. Amil from Bota was cute and witty and took really good care of us despite it being a really warm day. We had amazing oysters, sushi, gins and tonic and Prosecco. Everything was beautifully prepared and the sushi was soooo fresh. It was in a lovely location only one minute away from where we were staying which was a bonus. We had a lovely birthday lunch

We came for the oysters and stayed for everything else. The fresh oysters were top-tier—clean, briny, and exactly what you hope for in Dubrovnik. We ordered a full spread: amberjack ceviche, tuna nigiri, nigiri hot sake, spicy tuna roll, salmon skin roll, agemaki fantasy, and the fried Philadelphia roll. Everything was very good, but three things stood out: the oysters, the spicy tuna roll, and the fried Philadelphia. Those were next-level. Staff were genuinely friendly—not just polite, but actually warm and helpful. No attitude, no rush. They made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. If you’re in Dubrovnik and want fresh seafood with a Japanese twist, this place delivers. No gimmicks, just solid food and good people.

Josipa and Amel were exceptional and provided friendly and slick service. The food was fresh and tasty and the restaurant is located in a beautiful and quiet part of old town.

My partner loves oysters and sushi, so we had to come here. I don't like either so has the tempura prawn salad and gyozas. Everything we ate was excellent. The restaurant is lovely and the staff are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Great service! We arrived without a reservation but Adriana was able to accomodate us. Recommend chef Kalu's chicken and teriyaki steak. Josipa introduced us to the chef and was very kind towards our little one.
