Ankora

Sitting on a terrace of the Ankora, eight kilometres west of Dubrovnik, you may get the impression that you are sitting on the deck of a boat. Not only is the sea within easy reach, all 80 seats by the water – an eastern wind brings fragrances of the Mediterranean herbs used to make home-made grappa, gladly served to you as you sit down. Since you are so close to the waves, it comes as no surprise that the menu is full of fresh fish, shellfish, scampi and lobster, prepared in the traditional Dalmatian way. A variation on this theme is seafood pasta and risotto. Reservations are recommended on balmy summer evenings.
