“With one of the finest views of the beautiful walled old town of Dubrovnik and the Adriatic Sea, Sensus at the Excelsior Hotel already had much in its favor even before the plates from chef Petar Obad were added into the mix.
His interpretations of Mediterranean classics and local Croatian delicacies brings in diners as much as the Instagram-worthy backdrop.

A signature dish of ravioli with sweetbreads, truffle, prosciutto and a sauce made from Malvasija wine demonstrates the chef’s melding of flavors, ingredients and textures.
Herbs from the kitchen’s garden and local sun-ripened produce are crafted into lamb with rosemary, artichokes and onion marmalade, while “grandma’s flan” is Obad’s dessert homage to a beloved family recipe”, writes CNN Travel.
