“ Great restaurant and excellent value for money. Very pleased we chose this spot when there are so many restaurants. I has the mediterranean burger and my partner has the mussels. Both were excellent. Waiter was really friendly and the palace is beautifully decorated throughout. Highly recommend this place, plus you get a free mimosa, why would you want to go anywhere else?! ”
“ Visited here a total of 3 times during my stay in Cavtat. Enjoyed the food thoroughly however I must say that I would have given 5 stars for the food had it not been for the desserts - the tiramisu was a let down, my only recommendation would be to serve a regular version! Also, the service from Jovan was great! :) ”
“ We decided to eat at Ankora spontaneously and were pleasantly surprised. The waiter gave us a quick intro to the restaurant’s concept and their aim to do things a bit differently — and it really worked. The food and house wine were excellent. It’s a great idea to order a few starters and share. I especially recommend the stuffed gnocchi with prawns — really tasty. ”
“ Without a doubt one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at - and I’ve eaten at a lot of restaurants. Service is fantastic, food is utterly delicious and the views are uncompromising. Michelin style food without the price tag. Make sure you book ahead as this place is popular! ”
“ Ankora is so good! We’ve come by for iced coffees in the mornings, relaxed lunches and now had the best dinner. The food’s top quality, the staff are great and the atmosphere is top — welcoming, warm and full of charm. A proper gem. Highly recommend. ”
“ We decided to dine here on our final night in Cavtat, drawn in by all the excellent reviews, and the entire experience was truly impressive. From the delicious food to the attentive service and charming ambiance, everything was superb. Our waiter went above and beyond, explaining each dish in detail and ensuring we felt comfortable and welcomed. It was absolutely worth the visit and the perfect farewell to our trip in Croatia! ???????? ”
“ We visited 5 different restaurants but Ankora was different and the best in our opinion (thus we visited it twice). The prices are similar to others but look at the picture of the tuna steak, it's like a different level of food compared to others where I had the opportunity to eat tuna. The risotto and burger are also delicious, I recommend visiting and checking it out for yourself. Best regards ”
“ Good vegetarian options. Great for dinner and lunch. Tasty food, big portions (some starters are enough for a meal). Great choice of local wines. Lunch comes with free mimosa. ”
