Restaurant Magdalena

Spectacular rooftop setting. Inventive, tasty appetizers: vinegar pearls were great, as was the tuna and duck pate. Slightly dry veal in the tortellini, but accompaniments were tasty. Great meat in mains, rather let down by overcooked vegetables. Super friendly service. Decent wines by the glass, with the whites better than the reds - unless you really like huge amounts of tannin in your plavac, and strong violet in your merlots. (One Pinot was overchilled, which didn't help.)

Wow! We stumbled upon this restaurant looking for a last minute reservation and WOW did we luck out!! The rooftop ambiance is superb and the live guitar was the cherry on top! We ordered just about everything on the menu and were not disappointed once! The food is inventive, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The seafood pasta was borderline life-changing and the cocktails are excellent as well! And trust me, order BOTH deserts! Thank you to Dinko for making our experience so top notch! Highly, highly recommend!!!

Despite checking Google Maps and personally calling to make a reservation—which was confirmed—we arrived at the location to find an empty reception. Although there were instructions indicating where the restaurant was, we were still unable to locate it. After searching for 5–10 minutes, a waiter finally appeared and informed us that the restaurant is actually closed for the winter season. This was quite shocking and very frustrating. If the restaurant is closed, this should be clearly updated on Google Maps, and reservations should not be confirmed. Offering an alternative restaurant of theirs, which actually has poor rating on GM, did not resolve the situation. This was an absurd and completely avoidable experience caused by incorrect information and miscommunication.

Found this beautiful secret roof top terrace for a quick drink before our boat departure. Private and away from the crowds. What a life saver. We arrived around 7pm before the dinner rush and it was still empty so we had our choice table in the corner. Generous pour of delicious local white wine. Great service. I’ll definitely return to try the food.

We had here the time of our life!!! food high class, service absolutely brilliant and the life music was awesome!!!! We have our honeymoon here in Dubrovnik and this experience here in this restaurant, gave us an unforgettable moment…thank you so much!!!!

Would highly recommend this restaurant! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is really lovely being that it is situated on a beautiful terrace nestled in the middle of Old Town, but the most remarkable part about this restaurant is the service. Our waiters, Dinko & Ivan, were not only extremely friendly, but also knowledgeable & made it a wonderful experience! Will be back again & again!

Marvelous venue on a beautiful terrace above the streets of Dubrovnik. The waiters were very kind and attentive and the food deliciuos. I will go back when I return. Thank you for a great dinner, Dinko, you made it special.

I’ll admit I was reluctant to dine here on our last night in Dubrovnik. I was dressed casually from our day out and didn’t want to feel uncomfortable in a fine dining setting. This was assuaged immediately by the warm reception from front of house who walked me straight through the (beautiful, historic) hotel to the terrace. This was easily the best meal of our trip. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was just right (not at all fussy or overbearing which we hate!). Not to mention the incredible open air upstairs setting. Go - you won’t regret it.
