Celebrated for its historic architecture and idyllic setting on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, Split is filled with scenic dining spots, some of which showcase the region’s exceptional seafood and wine. To experience the best of this coastal town’s gastronomy, pay a visit to our pick of the best restaurants in Split.

Zrno Soli Split

In its setting within a marina, this fine dining restaurant provides views over the water and luxury yachts, which can be appreciated out on the terrace or from the interior dining space through floor-to-ceiling windows. With its waterside location, it’s no surprise that the local seafood and fish is the focus here and each dish comes appealingly presented with plenty of creativity put into each recipe. Try these plates with the restaurant’s recommended Croatian wine.
