About the restaurant
Lvxor Café and Restaurant was named after the Egyptian city of Luxor, where the sphinxes, the mythical creatures, originate from.
Lvxor is the favourite meeting point of the cultural and social elite of Split and one of the most frequently visited spots for both domestic and foreign visitors of our city. It is widely known for its quality aroma of coffee, homemade delicacies, national cuisine, extensive wine list and a number of cultural happenings.
The overall experience is complemented by the beautiful view of the breathtaking Bell Tower of St. Domnius, the patron saint of Split, and the eternal Peristyle Square.
During spring and summer nights the latter becomes a unique stage for romantic concerts and dancing for all of our guests.
Visit us and you too can feel like an empress and emperor at the Lvxor Café and Restaurant.

We had anniversary dinner for two, ordered ramen, tuna, gyozas, bao, lemonade and yuzu collins. The price point for all this was 70-80€. All dishes were perfectly made and very tasty. Serving dynamics and overall hospitality is outstanding, the waiters should be role models for all Croatian restaurants.

Opposed to the same restaurant in Velika Gorica, this one on the golf course is much much better. It was our 4th time as a group there and the fact we are coming back again and again means something. The only thing which needs improving is the following: do not rush with clearing the table. Let us enjoy. If we've stopped eating, does not mean we are finished with our food. We just need a break. We are planning on coming back.
