The best restaurants in Croatia Split & Area

To reach the Panorama, if you don't have a car, you'll have to call a cab or go directly to the restaurant when you reserve your table (recommended), and we'll pick you up in town (free service). The view from the terrace at sunset is superb. On one side, Mount Biokovo, imposing and so close. On the other, the seaside town, the coast, the archipelago... In the kitchen, traditional Dalmatian recipes, grilled fish, meat and vegetables, pašticada, gnocchi and, last but not least, gourmet desserts. Good local red wines.

Between Vis and Kubavac there is a restaurant that is famous on the island for its wine business as well as for its specialties. Here they cook octopus, fish or lamb, simmered under peka for at least three hours,accompanied by rice or potatoes and vegetables. A bistronomy formula is also available. If you have your own vehicle, dinner can be combined with a day at the Green Cave or Stiniva Beach. To take advantage of the shuttle bus to and from the port of Vis, reservations are required and must be confirmed two hours in advance.

A small intimate restaurant in a pedestrian alley in Split. Sitting at the bar or on small tables, you can enjoy the good Dalmatian cuisine skilfully concocted by the attentive chef, consisting of local charcuterie, meat or fish, shellfish, stew, pea soup. A beautiful variety that should satisfy all the guests. Villa Spiza is an authentic address, appreciated by the locals, with a good atmosphere, very much in demand and a quality service, with the smile of the waiters as a bonus. But there are only a few tables, first come, first served!

On the terrace, this konoba 's tables are lined with lavender plants, which attract butterflies. The view of the sea is breathtaking. For starters, we recommend anchovies marinated in olive oil on a bed of arugula, a platter of grilled seafood to share, grilled sea bass or squid fillets, with southern vegetables, blitva or fries. Tagliatelle with gambas, as well as grilled white meat, pizzas, cheese and regional charcuterie. Smiling service and reasonable prices for the island.

Makarska's seafront restaurants are packed in summer. If you're looking for a little peace and quiet at the table, set back from the riva, this grill-bar with shaded terrace overlooks a park. The à la carte menu offers a wide choice of dishes, including homemade soups, grilled meats and fish, tuna steak, fresh pasta, tagliatelle with shrimp and pine nuts, pizzas, grilled southern vegetables, fries and blitva. Generous plates for classic Adriatic dishes. Friendly service.

Just behind the Bernardo konoba is the Top konoba. Both offer a fisherman's cuisine generously prepared with local olive oil. This is one of the characteristics of the Dalmatian table. White fish, thick sliced tuna steak, shellfish (langoustines, shrimps, etc.), everything is fresh, usually marinated and grilled or served with a pepper sauce, accompanied by chips or southern vegetables. Other choices, green pasta, gnocchi, a children's menu with a pancake and ice cream for dessert... Remember to book on the terrace on the first floor to enjoy the view of the port.
