Apart from its gastronomic, oenologic and educational character, the Good Food Festival also has a particularly significant humanitarian character. The proceeds from the Dubrovnik Table, which will be held on Sunday, October 22nd at noon, are intended for the Special Friend Association - "Arriving Safely at One's Destination" and the Association for Training Guide Dogs and for Mobility, the Dubrovnik Club for users of seeing eye dogs. Also, the entire revenue from the ˝Rixos Davos˝ gala dinner, which is the finale event of the festival and which will take place on Sunday, starting at 7pm at the Hotel Rixos Libertas, is meant for the ˝Dva skalina˝ Association, which will use the funds raised at the gala dinner to purchase a ˝Tobii Communicator˝, thus facilitating communication with children with the most severe psychosomatic disorders. We invite everyone in Dubrovnik and their guests to participate and to support these events in order to once again show that the people of the City below Srdj Mountain are always more than willing to help those in need.


The traditional Dubrovnik Table will take place the final day of the fourth Good Food Festival Dubrovnik 2017. On a table that spans the entire length of Stradun, numerous Dubrovnik hotels and restaurants, bakers, confectioners and caterers, as well as winemakers from Konavle and Pelješac, will present their knowledge and skills. This is a real visual delight and a treat for the palate for of all lovers of good food. Food vouchers will cost 35 kuna and beverage vouchers will cost 15 kuna. The program will be led by Ivica Puljić beginning at 11 am, the cultural arts association St. Juraj Osojnik will perform traditional folklore dances and the klapa multipart singing group Ragusavecchia will also perform, while the opening ceremony of the Dubrovnik Table will take place at noon.


Along with the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, the organizers of this year’s Dubrovnik Table, which has a charitable character, are the City of Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik-Neretva County, the Croatian Chamber of Economy – County Chamber Dubrovnik, the Dubrovnik Neretva County Chamber of Economy, the Catering and Tourism Guild and the Dubrovnik Tourism and Hospitality School.


For the grand finale of this year's Good Food Festival, the Rixos Group will hold a humanitarian gala dinner at the hotel Rixos Libertas. During the four course dinner, chef Ozgur Donertas will bring the flavours of Switzerland to the heart of Dubrovnik, in honour of the opening of the new Rixos Davos hotel in Switzerland. There will be a diverse entertainment program and a generous lottery with great prizes, whose proceeds will go to charity, all of which will make for an unforgettable dinner. The hosts of this evening will try to reconstruct a huge cake modelled on the 1974 cake made by the staff of the old hotel Libertas that impressed all of Dubrovnik. The program will be hosted by Mirko Fodor, while the singer Giuliano will take care of the musical atmosphere. The price of this four course dinner with select wines is 250 kuna per person, and the price of the lottery is 50 kuna.
