The draw here is the address: a courtyard beside St Sophia, the tenth-century Byzantine cathedral church, in the middle of the Old Town. Reviewers come back to the Ohrid trout and the hot traditional dishes, and it holds 4.2 on Google across more than 1,200 reviews.
Eating in the shadow of a thousand-year-old church is the sort of thing Ohrid offers casually, and this is the easiest way to do it. Moderately priced, and busy in the evenings in season.
Local tip: Sit outside if you can – the courtyard is the whole reason to choose this over a lakefront table.
