Small intimate setting with lots of class. Try their house schnitzel with a side of spätzle. Portions are generous, you will never leave hungry! Great comfort food.

Always top notch food, any of the veals are superb (from my days as a meat-eater) the batter is fresh and light, and the noodles are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Never get any other side dish, you will regret not having a plate full of delicious noodles.

As for the deserts, those Palacinkes are so, so good. On the menu it says that you have to choose between walnuts, ice cream, and chocolate sauce, but if you just ask you can easily get all three. Yum yum.

This is an established, cozy little restaurant. Service was friendly and gracious. In German restaurants I often have the Jaegerschnitzel mit Spätzle so when I saw Hunter Schnitzel on the menu at New Dubrovnik I got excited. The sides are pretty much the same for everyone: two vegetables and a choice of spätzle, rice, potato, etc, etc (there was a long list but I only had ears for the spätzle).

The Spätzle were unlike any I've had before (and I've had a lot). The striking thing was how yellow they were. Anyway, have no fear... they were delicious, probably in part because of the generous butter content.

The Schnitzel was fantastic. Not so much because of the meat (which was fine) but because of the sauce! That weird orangey gravy was insanely good. I still had a little of my dinner roll left and I happily used it to sop up the gravy remaining on my plate.

So all in all, some strange colours in this meal but they did not adversely affect the experience. I look forward to trying one of their breaded schnitzels on my next visit. Prices seemed kind of steep, but I say that about 80% of the restaurants I visit... ;-)

Yes, I've had their Schnitzel here.. It was good and had a nice red vegetable sauce ontop. I don't know if I'm much for spatzel as it was my first time having it but it wasn't bad, but I'd have their veal again for sure:P Their palacinkes were to die for.. at the time they had a peach one and it was very delicious...mmmmmmm

Traditional button Spätzle with garlic butter, usually accompanied with vegetable red sauce or mushroom-wine sauce. My favorite side dish at this restaurant.

They have a few different varities of crepes here for dessert - strawberry jam, peach, chocolate walnut, and ice cream.

They're called Palačinkes in Croatian

Small sausages made of minced veal, lamb, and pork. These sausages don't have any casing so it looks like a little roll of ground meat. Very juicy and spiced perfectly. Served with a side of raw onion and Ajvar (food 397)

A bright orange spicy relish made with red bell peppers, eggplant, garlic and chili pepper. They serve it as a side with most meats here.

It's a Croatian restaurant so they probably have no idea what "kasspatzle" is - just make a special request for their spatzle with cheese and mushroom sauce/gravy on top. I'm sure they'll oblige...

Went to the New Dubrovnik last night (i.e. a Sunday) for dinner and asked for kässpätzle with my meal. Was told that the spätzle is all prepared beforehand. Perhaps this means that you have to call ahead, or go on an off-night where the spätzle is made-to-order?

Make sure to ask for it like that since it only comes "plain vanilla" with some of the main dishes.

That sounds freakin' delish. I must try it. Reminds me, I think I have a New Dubrovnik Entertainment coupon to use... shizzle my kässpätizzle!

Actually, that sounds pretty much exactly like it!

Croatian restaurant New Dubrovnik (vendor 658) has spatzle as a choice of side. It's topped with grated brick cheese and a mushroom-wine sauce (close to a gravy?)

Not exactly what you're looking for but it's the first place that came to mind...
