History:
Restaurant Sesame continues the family tradition that started in 1880 and is nestled in a pleasant green oasis just a few minutes from the Old Town, on the route leading to Gradac Park and Dane Beach, both popular local destinations.
The street is named for the renowned Italian poet Dante, and there is a bust of him near the entrance to Sesame. The restaurant is housed within a two-hundred-year-old stone mansion surrounded by beautiful vegetation from orange and pittosporum trees.
Each piece of furniture inside Sesame reflects the tale of Dubrovnik, and the city’s rich past is just a part of Sesame’s own character. A close observer will definitely notice vintage black-and-white images of Dubrovnik, complete with a 20th-century tram. Other interesting items such as the miniature owl figurines, which are emblems of wisdom, are placed all over the restaurant.
