Cavtat Restaurants
Ankora (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Location: Put dr. Ante Starčevića 22, 20210, Cavtat, Croatia
Contact: Email reservations@ankoracavtat.com | Tripadvisor | Ankora Website
Ankora is perfectly situated on the Cavtat promenade and offers a few, select tables that make it an ideal spot for soaking in views of the bay and people-watching. Known for its upscale dining experience without the hefty price tag, Ankora is less crowded than other local spots like Bugenvila. The menu features unique dishes such as Lamb Pasticada, stuffed squid, and chicken cooked sous vide style. If your group prefers simpler tastes, they might not find the usual pizza, fish, and steak here. For those palates, we recommend Zinos in Cavtat, which offers great food but a less adventurous menu. Ankora provides only outdoor seating, which is covered. Reservations are highly recommended.
Bugenvila (Lunch/Dinner)
Location: Put dr. Ante Starčevića 9, 20210, Cavtat, Croatia

Bugenvila offers a dining experience akin to what you might expect if Michelin decided to feature Cavtat. Located just a short stroll from Ankora and situated on the promenade, this restaurant is ideal for relaxing and people-watching. Bugenvila serves up Michelin-star style dishes, meaning smaller portions at higher prices, perfect for special occasions. The restaurant features al fresco dining with covered outdoor seating. Reservations are necessary.
La Boheme (Lunch/Dinner)
Location: Put dr. Ante Starčevica, Obala Ante Starčevica 26, 20210, Cavtat, Croatia

La Boheme is another excellent dining option in Cavtat, although its tables are set a bit further back from the promenade, offering a different but equally pleasant dining atmosphere. If you're looking for a diverse menu that includes basic Mediterranean dishes as well as international favorites like hamburgers, La Boheme is an excellent choice. While walk-ins are usually welcome, making a reservation is advised, especially for larger groups.
Zino (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Location: Put dr. Ante Starčevića 20, 20210, Cavtat, Croatia

Zino enjoys a prime location on the Cavtat promenade, akin to its neighbors Ankora and Bugenvila, offering few tables between diners and the stunning bay views—ideal for an evening of people-watching. If you’ve already experienced the upscale offerings of Ankora and Bugenvila and are searching for a new dining spot, Zino is perfect. The ambiance is relaxed, featuring a menu full of familiar Mediterranean favorites along with global dishes such as pastas, steaks, and a unique style of pizza. Here, the pizza is not your traditional Sicilian; instead, it's a thick crust served on a longboard, rectangular in shape. Zinos is a superb choice for a laid-back evening. Though they often accommodate walk-ins, it is wise to reserve a table, especially for larger groups.
A savvy travel tip for Zino Restaurant is to book a table on the upper deck for dinner. This spot offers a unique ambiance, distinctly different from the bustling Cavtat promenade dining experience.
BokunBocun (Lunch/Dinner)

Nestled slightly away from the main promenade, BokunBocun offers a cozy town square atmosphere, making it a distinct spot in Cavtat. This restaurant blends Italian and Mediterranean cuisines, providing a menu that satisfies those looking for a taste of both. Although it lacks the traditional pizza that some may seek, those craving authentic Italian pizza can visit Bistro Pizzeria Kapo in Mlini. BokunBocun’s setting allows for a more intimate dining experience, with bay views that serve more as a scenic backdrop. It’s an ideal location for an Italian-themed night out, known for its delicious food and attentive service. Reservations are recommended, particularly for larger groups.
