Split view

Split restaurants tend to stick to tried & true favourites to please their local customers and the locals are not looking for sushi and Szechuan.  Grilled fresh fish, stewed meat, homemade pasta and fluffy pizza are the local comfort foods that you'll find on most menus.

Even though restaurants in Split may lack a lot of variety, the quality usually ranges from good to excellent. And the prices are affordable. Dinner for two with wine runs about €25 but certain, rarer fish or seafood species can push the bill higher. (See more on Dining in Croatia). Here are some of the best Split restaurants all located in or near the town centre:

  • Nostromo
    It's right next to the fish market with a specialty of--guess what--fish and seafood! The style is smart-casual and the freshness is impeccable.
  • Sperun
    Locals and tourists alike flock here for perfect pasta, tempting tuna, savoury seafood and whatever the chef has in mind.
  • Makrovega
    In my opinion, no city is truly cosmopolitan unless it has a vegetarian restaurant and Makrovega represents Split's entry onto the veggie-vegan circuit. Unfortunately, the theory seems to be that eating vegetables coincides with an early bedtime as this restaurant closes in the early evening.
  • Buffet Fife
    Hearty and unpretentious food served up by hearty and unpretentious Dragomir. The specialty is pasticada, a meaty stew much appreciated by the fishermen that hang out here.
  • Restaurant Sumica
    East of the centre and not far from the beach, this place serves up delicious pasta, seafood and local dishes on an outdoor terrace shaded by pine trees.
  • Restoran Boban
    Also east of the centre is this classy spot where you can sample the full range of Croatian cooking from Istrian truffles to Dalmatian grilled fish and meat.
  • Pizzeria Galija
    Owned by a former basketball player, this is generally conceded to be the best pizzeria in town and it's a popular hangout for young people.
  • Konoba Varos
    This informal konoba with beams and wood banquettes is usually packed. Its specialty is meat cooked "under a bell", that is, slow roasted.
