New look, same bold spirit 🍸✨

At Trattoria Carmen, we love when tradition gets a playful twist. That’s why we’re bringing you something special – a new spirit from Poetica, infused into our cocktails that already have a story… but now tell it louder.

These are not just cocktails.
These are old favorites dressed to impress.
These are familiar flavors that found the courage to shine in a whole new way.

Each sip takes you on a journey – from delicate, aromatic notes to bold finishes that linger long after the last “cheers”. A Croatian story in a glass: authentic, vibrant, and just a little unpredictable – exactly how it should be. 🇭🇷

If you thought you’ve tried it all… it might be time to think again.

Join us, bring your people, take your seat, and let our new-old cocktails surprise you. Because the best moments always start with a great drink – and even better company.

Novo lice, ista hrabrost 🍸✨

U Trattoria Carmen volimo kad se tradicija malo “zaigra”. Zato vam donosimo nešto posebno – novo piće iz Poetica destilerije, utkano u naše koktele koji već imaju svoju priču… ali sada pričaju još glasnije.

Ovo nisu samo kokteli.
Ovo su stare ljubavi u novom ruhu.
Ovo su poznati okusi koji su skupili hrabrost i odlučili zablistati drugačije.

Svaki gutljaj vodi vas kroz slojeve – od nježnih, aromatičnih nota do onih odvažnih koje ostaju s vama i nakon posljednjeg “živjeli”. Hrvatska priča pretočena u čašu, iskrena, razigrana i pomalo nepredvidiva – baš kako treba biti. 🇭🇷

Ako ste mislili da ste već sve probali… možda je vrijeme da se predomislite.

Dođite, povedite ekipu, zauzmite svoje mjesto i dopustite da vas naši novi/stari kokteli iznenade. Jer najbolji trenuci uvijek počinju s dobrim pićem – a još boljim društvom.

Brudet is more than a dish — it is a story of the sea, patience, and tradition passed down through generations along the Dalmatian coast. Prepared slowly, with a rich blend of fresh fish, tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and a touch of wine, every pot carries the essence of coastal life.

Once a humble fisherman’s meal, brudet has become a symbol of togetherness and authenticity. Its deep, layered flavours reflect the rhythm of the Adriatic — simple ingredients transformed into something truly memorable.

We honour this tradition by cooking brudet the way it has always been made — with care, respect, and love for every ingredient.

—

Brudet nije samo jelo — on je priča o moru, strpljenju i tradiciji koja se generacijama prenosi duž dalmatinske obale. Priprema se polako, od svježe ribe, rajčice, maslinova ulja, češnjaka i vina, a svaki lonac nosi u sebi duh života uz more.

Nekada jednostavno jelo ribara, danas je brudet simbol zajedništva i autentičnosti. Njegovi bogati i slojeviti okusi odražavaju ritam Jadrana — jednostavni sastojci pretvoreni u nezaboravno iskustvo.

Mi njegujemo ovu tradiciju pripremajući brudet na izvoran način — s pažnjom, poštovanjem i ljubavlju prema svakom sastojku.

Monday may seem like a quiet day — but for us, it’s filled with moments that truly matter.

Today, with gratitude and pride, we donated €2,000 to support a meaningful humanitarian initiative. It’s a small reminder that every act of kindness can make a real difference and bring hope where it’s needed most.

We are inspired by the incredible effort led by Željan Rakela, who brought people together to raise €120,000 in just 130 days for KBC Firule — a powerful example of what unity and compassion can achieve.

Thank you for being part of this story with us. 🤍

Ponedjeljak možda djeluje kao miran dan — no za nas je ispunjen trenucima koji zaista znače.

Danas smo, s osjećajem zahvalnosti i ponosa, donirali 2.000 eura za vrijedan humanitarni pothvat. To je mali podsjetnik koliko svako dobro djelo može napraviti stvarnu razliku i donijeti nadu onima kojima je najpotrebnija.

Inspirira nas izniman angažman koji predvodi Željan Rakela, koji je ujedinio ljude i prikupio 120.000 eura u samo 130 dana za KBC Firule — snažan primjer koliko zajedništvo i humanost mogu postići.

Hvala vam što ste dio ove priče. 🤍

One of the most beautiful smiles in Dubrovnik… do you agree?
It’s not because she’s ours — it’s simply truly breathtaking. A smile that takes your breath away.

But it’s not just about the smile. It’s also about passion, dedication, and the freshest ingredients that create the most delicious dishes. Today, we bring you the catch of the day — fresh fish straight from the Dubrovnik sea.

Taste it grilled or enjoy it as a traditional brudet, and let your senses drift into pure indulgence. Your palate will dance an unforgettable dance.

Jedan od najljepših osmijeha u Dubrovniku… slažete li se s nama?
Nije zato što je “naša” — nego zato što je uistinu očaravajuć. Osmijeh koji oduzima dah.

No nije važan samo osmijeh. Važne su i strast, posvećenost te svježe namirnice koje stvaraju najukusnija jela. Danas vam donosimo svježi ulov — ribu iz dubrovačkog mora.

Kušajte je s roštilja ili u obliku tradicionalnog brudeta i prepustite se vrhunskom užitku. Vaše nepce zaplesat će nezaboravan ples.
