Panorama is one of my favorite restaurants in entire Croatia. I have been here many many times, and brought a lot of my friends. The important thing to understand is that this is a small, family ran restaurant, with authentic Croatian cousine and ambiebt. It is not a classic Micheling star restaurant, although it is probably far better than most of those. Panorama is located in the hills above Orebic with gorgeous views of Korcula and the entire channel between Korcula and Peljesac. View from the restaurant can easily be defined as one of the best in Croatia. Food is traditional Dalmatian food, and it is prepared to perfection.

The setting is perfect, food and service great, menu is not extensive but dishes are generous and very tasty and great value too. The views are spectacular and it is a wonderful place to unwind, particularly if you treked up to this area, highly recommended :-) If driving just be aware that the road is narrow, if walking from Orebić the trek is great exercise particularly if you take the route through the forest and past the monastery, if it's a hot day don't forget water and...
