The 16 best grill spots in Split

The fish platter was out of this world!!! We were fortunate to have tuna so fresh that is was in the sea 1 hour before it was served to us. We have had many fish options during our stay in Croatia and Konoba Fetivi was definitely the best! It was simply prepared and perfectly cooked! Absolutely delicious!! The service was excellent as well. I highly recommend!!

Lovely restaurant. We were feeling wary after having had a not so great experience at another nearby restaurant but this turned out to be our favourite restaurant experience of our entire trip. We were sat in a covered outdoor area that was nicely shaded and comfortable with a lot of fun decorations on the walls and even a nice little vintage sewing machine on a nearby table (which, as a hobby sewer, I was delighted to see). Our waiter was friendly and attentive and brought out a tray full of the fresh fish they had available that day. We were able to try out scorpion fish which was expertly prepared (and tasted amazing!) and which we opted to eat with a side of grilled vegetables. We also had a warm appetizer of octopus and chickpeas beforehand that came in a sauce so tasty we used almost all of our bread to sop it up. At the waiter's suggestion we finished our meal with their traditional layered cake (containing figs and walnuts) which was moist and flavorful. Overall a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

Our dinner was started with a warm welcome. Easy-to-read menu with all prices well listed. The next thing were were presented was the fresh fish platter that allowed you to choose the fish you want, there were turbot, grouper, red snapper, sea bass, sea bream, monkfish, cuttlefish, etc. They would have other sizes available just make sure you ask. We ordered a red snapper, size for two persons and it was perfectly grilled in whole. All we added was some olive oil and salt & pepper. We also tried their black risotto and it tasted like heaven!

One of the best experiences we've had in Croatia. Everything was fantastic, fresh, and perfectly cooked. We ordered a number of different dishes instead of the main grilled fish (since we've done that at other places and wanted to try more stuff) and ended up with a spectacular meal. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Really fresh and well grilled seafood! We saw great reviews of the prawns cream soup and it did not disappoint. We also chose grilled flounder and octopus, which were both really good too. This restaurant is really cosy and pretty on the inside, and service is prompt and friendly. Would recommend! Make a reservation if you can as we saw quite a few people being turned away!

The black risotto is hands down the winner of the day! Rich and creamy and the octopus so very tender. It's a must-have when you dine at Fetivi. The grilled octopus was the most tender and savory we had in Split compared to two other restaurants we visited in Split. And the chef's selection of grilled fish was a very generous portion for two. We highly recommend Konoba Fetivi for anyone wanting the best locally cooked seafood in Split!

The cured seafood selection and octopus stew were amazing! My son ordered the grilled chicken and really liked it too. The staff were great and super friendly.

We had a very disappointing experience here and definitely will not return. For starters, we ordered the soup and the codfish spring roll. The spring roll was the only decent thing we had crispy, flavorful, and well done. Unfortunately, the soup was a complete letdown. It was bland and absolutely no richness or depth you’d expect from a restaurant charging these prices. For mains, I had the squid ink risotto and my husband had the Angus beef. After our starters, we were left waiting almost 20 minutes for the mains. The risotto was dull, lacking any balance or seasoning, and had an unpleasant aftertaste. The Angus beef was chewy and poorly cooked, paired with mashed potatoes that were supposed to be elevated with truffle oil. As a country that actually produces truffles, this version was shockingly below standard flat, oily, and with none of the fragrant quality you’d expect. Service made the experience even worse. We were given a completely different menu from another table, which left us questioning whether there was some form of bias or discrimination happening. And when we asked for the bill, a female server simply pointed her finger at my original (male) server, refusing to assist and continuing her personal chat instead. Completely unprofessional, dismissive, and unacceptable for a place that positions itself as “above average.” Overall: long waiting times, overpriced dishes, inconsistent menus, poor service, and food that is far below the mark in flavor and execution. One good spring roll can’t save an otherwise awful dining experience.

Bokeria in Split is a beautiful restaurant with a stylish and inviting atmosphere that immediately makes you feel like you’re in a special place. The presentation of the dishes is excellent — everything looks amazing and carefully prepared. However, while some plates taste just as good as they look, others don’t quite deliver the same “wow” factor once you try them. Prices are on the higher side compared to other spots in Split, so it’s definitely more of a treat-yourself place. Overall, Bokeria is worth visiting for the ambiance and experience, but not every dish lives up to its presentation.

Truwel and prosciutto pasta was delicious, Caesar salad needed more sauce. Soup was ok, byt nothing special; soparnik is really good here, recommend it. Amazing wine (local chardonney). Service is very good and attentive.

Sat upstairs by a window. This place was really good. Everything was executed perfectly. The sea bass with the cauliflower puree was a great combo. Dont skip soparnik either for the appetizer!! Would 1000% return. Great location in the old center of Split

Had a great sea bass meal here this evening - very reasonably priced. Wait staff was incredibly friendly and a great vibe atmosphere. Without doubt, if you are into Croatian wine, this is THE PLACE in Split to visit. They have over 160 Croatian wines to choose from, ~30 of which you can buy by the glass. I had a Grk, Pošip sur lie, and a dessert wine all from Croatia - the first two with my sea bass. All were excellent!

If I could give Bokeria six stars, I would. This place doesn’t just serve food - it performs it. Set inside a refurbished 19th-century hardware store, the ambience hits the sweet spot between Mediterranean elegance and modern soul: high ceilings, warm wood, slow jazz, and the low hum of a packed dining room that feels alive with conversation and clinking glasses. Now, the black risotto - the best I’ve ever had, anywhere in the world. It’s made from cuttlefish ink, rich enough to stain your soul, creamy from the slow-simmered arborio rice, yet with that perfect bite that tells you someone in the kitchen respects texture. The cuttlefish itself - tender but with structure, brined in its own ink, releasing that deep, oceanic sweetness that hits you like a memory you didn’t know you had. Each forkful lands with the intensity of truffle and sea salt and ends with a whisper of citrus. Pair it with a Medica, Croatia’s honey rakija - it’s smooth, golden, and just sweet enough to round the salt of the sea from the risotto. Follow that with the mint rakija, which feels like brushing your teeth with liquid sunlight - crisp, cool, and sharp enough to make you grin. Bokeria isn’t just a restaurant. It’s where the spirit of Split sits down to eat with you. Unreal food, unreal people, and a level of culinary rhythm that’ll have you planning your next meal before you’ve finished the first bite.

This restaurant charmed us completely! The historic setting with its gorgeous interior made dinner feel special. Food was delicious - modern takes on Dalmatian classics with perfect execution. Their wine list impressed us with excellent local options we wouldn't find elsewhere.

I had the steak fillet here and honestly, it was the best I’ve ever tried – perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The wine selection is amazing and pairs beautifully with the food. The atmosphere is just perfect – elegant yet relaxed, making it an absolutely must-visit spot in Split. A special thanks to Blazhe for the outstanding service – attentive, friendly, and truly made the experience memorable. Highly recommend Chops Grill for anyone looking for top-class steak, seafood. and a great dining experience!

Beautiful meal and last night at Split. The best steak and ribs dinner in awhile in Croatia! We had the Black Angus Rib eye and pork ribs with truffled potatoes and vegetables (capsicum, zucchini and mushrooms) on the side, and a bottle of the Italian Solco Toscana Syrah (Awarded best Italian red), went very well with the meal, easy to drink and smooth. Highly recommend this establishment. We enjoyed the atmosphere, with the soft live accoustic. Thank you to Ante, our wait staff for recommending the wine and for the service. Ante was quite, knowledgeable and super kind and friendly. A truly memorable evening for our last night in Split. Sad to be leaving.

The service is extremely friendly, and the food is incredibly delicious – you can easily say this is the best steak in town. The prices may not be the lowest, but the taste and quality are at the highest possible level. We recommend it to everyone, and we will definitely come back when we’re in Split again.

Just brilliant! You should try mixed grill plate for two. Everything so tender, great side dishes and the Service and atmosphere is outstanding as well. Big compliment to our waiter Ivan R.! Of course it’s a bit more expressive than other restaurants, but definitely worth it. In other restaurants you pay 30€ for a steak that doesn’t taste well, so better pay 5-10€ more for an amazing one! We‘ll definitely come back :)

A nice steakhouse in central Split. We ordered the chops grill for two (€68), which included chicken, sirloin steak, and veal. However, the price covers only the meat (sauces and sides must be ordered separately). At that price point, I feel at least fries or another side should be included, as paying extra makes it feel a bit expensive for just the meat. Also, I think I had the most expensive bottle of water of my life at Chops (9€ for a bottle of still water!). I rated the service 4 stars because when the platter arrived, no one explained which cut was which, so we had to figure it out ourselves. In my experience dining at steakhouses across Europe, introducing the cuts is standard practice. The meat was good, really juicy and very well cooked. The sauces (we ordered the bernaise and the truffle sauces) were very tasty too. My partner loved the onion rings, they were super crispy!

One of the best places to have dinner in split. The location is perfect, as well as the atmosphere, the staff is polite, but the most important thing is the food which is beyond tasty, especially Steak Wellington.

What a great venue. Such tentative staff and great food. Great relaxed vibe. Expect to pay a little more for the quality of food and service. We took the kids and they didn’t treat us any different. Amazing meats cooked to perfection. Can’t recommend this enough. We booked to ensure a table but they didn’t seem overly busy the whole night.

Stellar view out over the harbour. Incredible food, we had a variety of cold appetizers that ranged from very good to absolutely outstanding, followed by a grilled John dory fish, cut and served table side. Strongly recommended.

We came here for lunch and loved the views of the harbor. The service was excellent and the fine was really good. We plan on coming back for dinner to experience the 6 course meal!

We had a celebration dinner for 16. Everything was great. I was able to stop in a couple of days early and select the wines. We set up the meal family style. Everyone enjoyed the food, wine, service and view. Highly recommend Zrno Soli for a special dinner in Split.

The lunch special feels like a steal. The food is absolutely incredible. The inclusion of water, wine and a coffee is a bonus. Great experience at lunch. Don’t be deterred by bad weather as they ca close the ceiling and if it’s rain / wind or clouds, it’s still a great visit.

Top best restaurant on all our trip for 3 weeks in Europe. Very good in sea food n cooking skill. Great seafood n fishes dishes. Sea bass in salt n risotto in crab sauces cooking w great skill. Restaurant locate in marina w great location, a bit away from city but worth the walk.

What an evening to remember! Not because of the view or food, but because of the experience! The staff made us feel like home and the food and view made it extra special!

Fabulous views. Amazing food Service excellent The recommendation of the mixed fish starter was amazing and beautifully presented. For a Michelin ⭐️ restaurant it was well affordable A staters to share, 2 main meals and a bottle of wine in a Michelin star restaurant for £125 that’s unheard of 😳

We had a team dinner here with a group of 30 people—seated at three long tables, and we were very well looked after throughout the evening. It‘s a fantastic restaurant: the outdoor seating is charming, the view is absolutely amazing, and the whole atmosphere felt just right. The menu offered a great variety—everything we tried was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. The fish was absolutely amazing. The service deserves high praise, too. The staff were attentive, friendly, and very efficient — they managed our large group seamlessly.

This is a beautiful location full of beautiful, well dressed people enjoying the night out with delicious Croatian cuisine. I enjoyed a mezcal negroni and my husband got a mojito. Both great cocktails. We enjoyed the lamb chops and salad. Our friends got gazpacho and some traditions beef stew. Everything was fantastic! 😋

Beautiful and peaceful setting on the coast. Michelin rated (2025). Tranquility combined with exceptional culinary experience. We tried the fish soup and the tuna cannelloni filled with foie gras. For the main course we took oven baked fish with vegetables in white wine sauce. Deserts: mango cream with ice cream a nd coconut crumbles. Exceptional service too

On 13.09.2025 When we arrived at the Dvor Restaurant, we were delighted by the ambiance. We were greeted by the friendly and cultural restaurant staff. We had a beautifully decorated table. We ordered an 8-course dinner recommended by the host and champagne recommended by the sommelier. As the meals arrived, the flavors were fantastic and unforgettable with top-quality wine. At the end, a 3-course dessert. We had an unforgettable time and it will remain in our memories forever. We will definitely come again.

Exceptional dining experience! The food was refined and full of flavor, the wine perfectly matched each dish, and the service was warm and attentive. A truly elegant place that makes you want to return.

Nice refined restaurant. My partner ordered lamb chops and he really enjoyed it. There were not a lot of vegetarian options, there were some side dishes and they also offer pasta and risotto with tomato sauce and vegetables. I ordered the risotto, it was nice but it didn't have a wow factor. Nevertheless, I ordered the lotus dessert and it was AMAZING, that was the experience I was looking for, a great combination of textures and flavors. I highly recommend it :)

We ordered the tuna and liver roll, tuna steak and crab pasta. Tuna is fresh and juicy. Crab pasta also decent. But in general not the best restaurant I visited in Split.

Had dinner here this evening and had a fantastic time! The food was delicious and great value. My friend had the aubergine risotto which she said was delicious and I had the slow beef risotto and as the waitress described it's a "party in your mouth". The staff were amazing! They were super allergen conscious. My friend has a severe nut allergy and they couldn't be more understanding and helpful. They were also very informative about the wine and dishes. The atmosphere on the roof top is exquisite with old movies showing on a projector. I'm so glad we came across this restaurant ❤️

My wife and I went here the other night for supper. I definitely recommend making a reservation to eat up on the roof - amazing atmosphere. After being seated, we were quickly met by our waitress and she took our drink and food order. I will say that being on the roof after sunset is a perfect meal. They project old movies on a building next to the restaurant - very unique. Our G&Ts tasted great with a local tonic. Our meals were fairly quick to come out and tasted great, and the waitress was very nice and helpful with menu explanations. I would like to point out another interesting thing on their menu - you can buy meals for the needy by adding them to your bill. The money is collected and at certain times of the year (Christmas, etc), food is delevered/provided to needy families. I think this is an amazing idea, as you enjoy your delicious food, you know that you can also give back to those less fortunate in the community. Thanks.

We had the slow cooked beef rib and the duck. The food was tasty and price was reasonable for the quality. Duck dish could have been a tiny bit hotter but nice experience overall. The rooftop setting was a great atmosphere. Enjoyed our meal out.

Beautiful roof terrace just past the end of the boulevard. Good option if you're looking for a bit more elegance to your dinner, beyond what a regular Croatian konoba can offer. Dishes on the menu sound creative and exciting and are sourced locally (so is the wine list). We had the bruschetta with sheep cheese and aged ham (pršut), followed by an excellent artichoke risotto and seafood orecchiette. The risotto was our favorite; very fresh, perfectly al dente, and a good balance between olive oil and zesty lemon. The seafood pasta was tasty and contained a nice amount of courgette to balance the saltiness. Very high quality food, living up to the expectations set by the relatively high menu prices. Portions were a bit small though, so I would recommend ordering an additonal main course to share. We had just one glass of white wine, which failed to impress. However, the salted honey whiskey sour I liked a lot. Staff is friendly and more than happy to provide recommendations. The inside of the restaurant looks modern but still cozy, but the roof terrace was even better, with a 1950's black and white movie projected on another building to complement the ambiance.

We didn’t have the chance to sit upstairs as it was already full, but we were seated on the ground floor right away. The food came almost immediately, which was a pleasant surprise, and everything was delicious. The staff were very kind and took the time to explain how our dishes were prepared, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The only disappointment was the Pavlova dessert. It wasn’t quite what we expected , traditionally it should come with fresh fruits, especially when they are in season. While it wasn’t bad, we wouldn’t recommend it compared to the rest of the menu.

Stopped in here for lunch. I got an appetizer of focaccia with cheese and prosciutto, and a Jerusalem artichoke/artichoke risotto. Both very good, but the risotto would have been filling enough on its own! I couldn’t finish. Also ordered an Aperol spritz. It was fairly quiet while I was there as I came right when it opened.

DELICIOUS food and absolutely amazing environment! The food and drinks were incredible and the service was excellent. There was even a black and white movie played on the side of the building during dinner! A bit more expensive, but very worth it!

If you love a meat sandwich, this is for you. My wife and I shared a medium sandwich and we were stuffed. Little beef sausages stuffed in the most delicious bun with red sauce and onions and cheese. Saw it on Somebody feed Phil and we knew we had to have it. Absolutely delicious. Cash only!!

I might consider moving to split just to eat here everyday. Get the full cevapi beef special with the red (ajvar) and white (kajmak) sauces and onions. The bread is so soft and tastes buttery. A must visit in split

Cevapi is life. Cevapi is love. Cevapi is the best. I ended up eating lunch here several times and still can't get enough. Get yours with all the fixings and eat it on the bench outside. Wonderful sandwich. No notes. I want more.

Never had a sandwich like this before. The bread was soft and not chewy at all. The meat tasted of high quality and overall, a very delicious sandwich for lunch. Recommend if you want something than a focaccia which many shops sell in the old town.

Just had the most amazing ćevapi pita – perfectly grilled, juicy little sausages tucked into warm, fluffy pita, topped with fresh onions and a hit of ajvar. Smoky, savory, and straight-up addictive. Balkan comfort food at its best. 🔥 @Nicko’s Gyros & Souvlaki World Tour

There's a reason why this is the best sandwich in Split since 1916. We went there for a quick lunch and decided to have a small cepavi each (8.50€ each - cash only). It was absolutely delicious. The bread was so soft and moist with the meat juices, the meat was so tasty and full of flavour. For that price, it was a top lunch!!

Great food at a reasonable price. A must have for budget travellers. You don’t need google maps to find it, just follow the trail of people leaving with sandwiches in their hands. The bread was fresh fluffy and delicious, the wine cheap and good and the fillings were amazing. Fabulous cevapi - loved every mouthful. Thera limited seating and it’s hard to stand inside without getting in the way so best to eat on the move or takeaway.

Nice italian restoran with pizza cooked right in the middle of the restoran. Pizzas and pasta are excellent. Prices are affordable. Service is quick and efficient.

I am very unhappy with the service of this establishment!!! It started to rain outside. We went inside, sat down at a table, asked for a menu, but we weren't hungry, we wanted to warm up. We wanted to order tea, dessert, and coffee. We were refused, you can only eat at the table! The waitress answered us that "I understand that it's raining outside, but people eat here, not drink coffee." Dear administration of this establishment, your waiters are trained in restaurant etiquette! To refuse a visitor to sit at a table because he ordered tea and dessert instead of pizza! This is terrible, I don't recommend it!! Disgusting!!!

This place is well located close to the pedestrian walk Riva. Delicious pizza 🍕 😋 and the service was fast. We had a busy day and this place was just a perfect stop for us to chill outside and enjoy.

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. Would defenitly recommend!

Really well situated on a crossroads of pedestrian streets. Great for people watching. The outside space is small but worth having a drink at the bar while you wait. Food and service was excellent. Sorry but we let the heat out of the food before the photo was taken

Heard it from TikTok, ordered their special pizza, can’t say it’s not good. The service was alright. But there was just a serve came up to me and rejected my service dog to be sitting next to me. Btw she’s helping with psychotic reason. So I wouldn’t recommend to come if you have a dog. They do have an outdoor area might be better but the weather was too hot around 94 degrees, so I can’t do it for sure.

The pizzas are super nice! Tasty and full of ingredients. The dough is neither thick nor thin, crunchy, cooked in proper oven (fire). Be aware this is the only option in the menu. The service is helpful and fast, also fair prices.

We did the chef's choice 3 course menu with wine pairing at Sug, and it was very good. The wine pairing was fabulous, and the service attentive. However, the portions were enormous (and I can eat a lot!). It's was more like two mains than a main and a starter. If I returned, I would just do the normal menu. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Perfection at a reasonable price. For antipasti, we had a white fish carpaccio wrapped around sweet rice which was delicious. Then we had squid ink risotto and creamy prawn pasta, both of which were divine. Good wine and attentive service as well. Some reviews say that this is a very fancy fine-dining place, but don’t let it put you off - the vibe is definitely nice but it’s also not very formal. You will feel at home as all the waiters are very friendly.

Everything was exceptional. We did the tasting menu with two oysters added. It was more than worth it. We were blown away with the food and services. 10/10 I can’t pick our favorite dish because they were all phenomenal. A must try

Food is good. The sword fish is the best - very fresh and flavourful. Octopus is fresh. Shrimp pasta isn’t as impressive as what others mentioned. Smoked risotto is average. However, the service is really bad. The waiters are very inattentive and chatting among themselves. We needed to keep waiting for the menu and water at the beginning and when we wanted to order, even when we sat at the middle of the restaurant just facing them.

Went to this place with my wife, as a recommendation from a local, and it was the best decision! We had the duck and the octopus, both were extremely delicious! Shrimp pasta as appetizer was really generous and incredible tasty. Wines are good as well. Don't hesitate about asking for the tiramisu as dessert!

The venison stew was great with tender meat and soft gnocchi, but the grilled octopus dish was a bit mismatched. The octopus itself was very good, but it was served with raw tomatoes, pickled onions, baked/fried potatoes, and a gravy none of which really complemented each other well. Service was great and the space was nice.

We had a table reserved for 8:00 PM, but we arrived an hour and a half earlier — luckily, that wasn’t a problem at all, as the staff kindly found us a spot right away. We happened to come during the restaurant’s Steak Weekend, which offered a special selection of steaks. The food was excellent — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was fast and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We really enjoyed our evening here and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and friendly service.

The place is very nice, quiet, comfortable. But we were disappointed with the food. We ordered risotto with prawns, pasta and pork steaks. Meat was delicious,but the portion for 29€ is really small, there was no side dishes. Risotto was salty and full of sauce. But the dessert was delicious. We visited the restaurant several years ago and were happy and very satisfied with the food, sizes and prices. This time really big disappointment.

Mazzgoon is a charming restaurant offering both indoor and outdoor patio seating. This is a family run modern European food restaurant. We dined here in the evening on the patio. The weather was perfect. We were enveloped by the dim lighting and the history of the castle walls, a truly magical vibe. We truly enjoyed our dishes. Beautifully presented. The only disappointment was that the mussels were almost too salty to eat. Our waiter kindly explained they don't add salt as they come from the already very salty sea. This made sense. We ate them anyway, with a lot of additional beverages lol

So good!! The lamb ragu gnocchi, mine and our superbly friendly waiter Alex’s favourite dish. All the food was good and a cool place!

Amazing restaurant to have dinner in Split. It has a rear terrace outside , quiet and aside from the busy street in the center of Split. The food was very tasteful, good quantity and good price for the dishes. The waitress were very nice and giving a great service. I fully recommend to have dinner in this beautiful place in the heart of split !

We were seated right away on the back patio. Food was tasty. Service was pretty good. We ordered something and the server forget but he made it right. Overall positive experience.

Really delicious food (the lamb ragù gnocchi are simply out of this world!), but all the stars go to the staff; impecable service!

Stop walking around tourist restaurants and get a meal here! We tried many of the top places in Split (and Croatia) and nothing beats this place. The service is so gentle and warm. The head chef Ante is a genius. At age 23 he runs an incredible menu. Peter our waiter was amazing with food recommendations and service as very quick. We recommend the local cheese platter and the mussels fettuccine pasta. A big bonus is their quaint outdoor seating for the best private dining experience. Will be back on our next trip to Split. P.s video was taking after closing time.

We had a lovely breakfast here on our last morning in Split. Beautiful area to sit outside. Breakfast was very reasonably priced and consisted of eggs, toast, bread, ham, cheese, jam and choice of coffee or juice. We really enjoyed it. Service was fast as there’s just this one breakfast offering.

Try the cuttlefish and broad beans! Never had that combination before and it was phenomenal. I didn’t want to stop eating. The polenta was super crispy and perfect. The octopus salad is also delicious and fresh. The house wine is good and you can get a half litre in a cute narrow bottle. I was slightly reluctant because other restaurants in the area seem to be more popular but the menu convinced me and the outdoor seating in the square is lovely for people watching. The only bad reviews seem to be from Americans… the staff are friendly and great they aren’t your servants;)

Trattoria Tinel is far more than just a restaurant! The soul of this place is its extraordinary owner, whose presence is constant yet graceful – always there, always attentive, setting the tone for excellence not by command, but by example. Her commitment, passion, and kindness are mirrored beautifully in her team. It’s clear that she is not only respected by her staff, but truly loved – and that love spills over into how they treat every single customer who walks through the door. The staff are not only professional and efficient, but also open-hearted, full of humor, and genuinely enthusiastic to connect. During our visit, they happily joined a spontaneous photo challenge organized by us– not out of obligation, but with sincere joy and a desire to contribute to the good vibes of the evening.They even let us wear the staff aprons! It was one of those rare moments that turns a dinner into a memory. The management at Trattoria Tinel is a masterclass in how to build not just a successful restaurant, but a culture – one where people are seen, valued, and uplifted. And the result? A space that radiates warmth, where every detail reflects intention, and where good food is only the beginning of a beautiful experience. To the owner: you have built something truly special – a restaurant that feels like a home and a team that feels like a family. We left with full hearts, big smiles, and one clear thought: as the owner is, so is the restaurant – a true reflection of grace, strength, and soul. If you’re in Split, do yourself a favor – come to Trattoria Tinel. You’ll find more than a meal here; you’ll find a moment of human connection, beautifully served.❤️

I randomly fell onto this place on a walk home and my gosh. Probably one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. It was the pasta seafood vongole and was under the apps part of menu. Homemade, fresh, baby clams and shrimp in a white sauce.. was just incredible. I also had the octopus carpaccio and that was a first for me and it was also excellent.

Great find! Ambience was amazing. The gentleman were very warm and welcoming and offered amazing food and wine suggestions.... couldn't fault the food and service. A must visit on your next trip.

Dining at this restaurant was a highlight of our trip. We were so well looked after by our waiter (I did not get his name, wish I had). I had a great gin and tonic made with the "Old Pilots" gin, highly recommend! For starter I had the shrimp soup which was delicious and then for main our whole party had the Pasticada with Gnocchi and was enjoyed by all. The meat was so soft and tender, the sauce was rich and comforting with a slight tang from maybe vinegar and something slightly floral through it and the gnocchi was perfect, best I've had. Tremendous meal and highly recommend if you are visiting Split!

Very good place for our lunch. We had some deep fried fish with chards and the sword fish salad. Light and tasty. To top it off we followed the recommendation of a very kind waiter for dessert and got an amazing caroube cake. Amazing!! The location is quite central and close to important places. Definitely recommend a stop in this place!

This was recommended by a local, and I have to agree with all the previous comments. The service isn't great and the staff tend to be a bit rude, but if you have patience and wait, you'll get some help and a delicious meal. We waited about an hour on a Friday night (and were first told it was impossible to get a table), and we weren't disappointed. Ask for local dishes and eat what they recommend! The creamy fettuccine pasta was our fave.

Great spot, had it recommended on a tour. You MUST book a reservation to get in or get lucky. The zuchinni, shimp gnocci was absolutely amazing and highly recommended. We just ordered a few dishes and Split (pun intended) and with all things here the portions are great sizes. Nice atmosphere and good service, don't forget to tip, they will remind you at the end. Great time we had and an attentive server that gave us some good choices to pick from

Hidden gem in Split! The food is down-to-earth delicious. We tried the pašticada — the meat was incredibly tender, and the gnocchi had that perfect QQ bite, almost like boba in milk tea. We also had grilled monkfish (grdobina pršutom i prilog). The texture of the monkfish was so unique and tasty, it really brightened up our meal. Definitely worth a visit! As for the service — if you’re expecting fine dining, this might not be for you. The staff are quick, focused, and just get the job done. Personally, I think that’s another type of charm of this place.

The restaurant has a rustic vibe and serves authentic food! I absolutely loved the Pašticada with gnocchi, which I believe is one of their signature dishes. It was an amazing experience! They also offer the best house red wine from a fishing island called Vis. The wine has a deep, gorgeous red color and a full body, with no bitterness or dryness in the aftertaste. We were even treated to two complimentary 2 shots of liquid/alcohol, though I'm not sure what it was. It tasted great! I highly recommend making a reservation, as they tend to book up quickly!

2 visits now to this local konoba. Great food, atmosphere, reasonable prices. Mix of locals and tourists. The pašticada, the black rice and especially the monkfish were all excellent! Well worth a visit!

Lovely meal, great atmosphere to the place and only just outside old town. Had the ham and cheese plate for starters, they brought out bread for the meal. Risotto and Pasticada as our mains - both lovely and rich, the seafood in the risotto cooked perfectly and the Pasticada being slow cook beef in a casserole-type sauce. All delicious.

This place is legit. The food is so good. Far better food and better priced compared with tourist traps in the middle of old town. Yes the staff may appear a little gruff at first, but they are professional and will be more than happy to give you their recommendations if you ask.

Highly recommend “cach of th day”. There were few fishes to choose from and we chose red snapper with grilled veggies. It took some times to get prepared but it was worth it, super delicious, tender, couldn’t be fresh than this. We truly enjoyed our meal. Nice service and nice sea view.

Couples Dinner Gourmet Food. Amazing flavour. No need to add salt and pepper. Excellent food presentation. Cooked with perfection. Super friendly Staff. Lovely and cosy atmosphere. Highly recommend. Chicken Supreme & Seabass Grilled. Truffled Mash is to die for.

Had dinner here last night and was SO impressed. The service was outstanding — the staff were all very knowledgeable and passionate about their food and wine, but also clearly love what they do & made the evening really fun. The food was outstanding — I had the smoked duck salad, sea bass, and for dessert the semifredo & poached apples... everything was really wonderful. The cocktails were amazing as well — loved the moscow mule (not too sweet) and aperol spritz! Will definitely come back hopefully for an ocean sunset next time!

A lovely place for dinner if you're near to Split and want a great dinner with a view to die for. The staff were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and incredibly professional. The food served was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. While this isn't the cheapest place we could have eaten all in all we felt it was well worth the money. Goran was the man that looked after our table and was a font of knowledge and was happy to educated us about the local wines and where they came from and how they compared to more widely known producers. All in all a great experience on our first night... We will be back before our holiday ends!

Absolutely fantastic. Steak was some of the best I've had in a long time. Service by mr. Luka was top notch, old-school if you'd like. Don't miss this place, the food is worth every penny and then some.

Great dining experience in Split. High class service, we've been notified that food might take a little longer, about 10-15 minutes (a moment in Split Friday night standards). However, we got our starter earlier than that, and the main dishes right after. It's a good place to have a glass of wine, bread with aromatic olive oil, enjoy picturesque view, have a relaxed conversation. Take the steak: chef know what he's doing, fries are phenomenal, mashed potatoes with truffles are great. My recommendation for the starter - burrata. It creates a proper feeling of a fancy place. P. S. Željko is a professional and his manager is a pleasure to talk to. Thank you, guys!

This restaurant is really great, the food is amazing and the view from the balcony is just perfect. Prices are reasonable too. We got served today by the waiter Aleksander who was really attentive and did a great job altogether. His supervisor Marjan, who welcomes us like friends every time we go to the Caper Grill, is an amazing guy too and it's great to see that they enjoy working together. We definitely visit again.

We travelled from Australia. Absolutely loved this place! Great drinks, great food, reasonably priced for how flash the place looked and felt inside. Our waiter was amazing and hilarious. Would 100 percent recommend this place.

Believe it or not, but the food here is deliciously grilled and the ambience is fantastic in the middle of a tourist epicentre. The homemade sauces are amazing. Prices correspond to the quality, I totally recommend!

Walked in on chance early evening and they managed to accommodate us but lot of reservations so would recommend booking. Staff friendly and accommodating. food was very good and the portions large especially starters. Lovely views across beach to the islands.

Great food for average European prices. We both went with the Picanha Steak and shared the side dishes, one portion of french fries and grilled vegetables. Food tasted great overall, staff was friendly, food came fast and the atmosphere was great. The only point of attention is the portion of the grilled vegetables as it was a bit tiny for its price in my opinion. Also pay attention to the menu when ordering meat dishes as you pay per 100grams.

We arrived a little late and a member of staff told us that the kitchen was only open for 25 minutes. We ordered quickly and the food arrived after 10 minutes. Both dishes were very delicious and can only be recommended. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The cocktail we ordered was also very tasty. The pub is very nicely decorated and provides a pleasant ambience. Restaurant is highly recommended. And once again, the staff are remarkably friendly and an appropriate tip is of course appreciated.

It was our last dinner in Split and boy ir didn’t dissapoint. The place has a great vibe and panorama and they can compliment it with great food and service. Everything we had was really good from cocktails to dessert and digestives.

A must stop at this restaurant if you visit Split. Great quality of food and service accompanied by excellent views of Split beach. I recommend making a reservation and going at night. They accept credit card as a form of payment. Recommended!

The place looks wonderful inside and out. When we arrived the outside terrace was full (or reserved) so we sat inside, which remained almost empty. We were initially served drinks by a charming and friendly waiter. As the restaurant got busy we ‘lost’ our waiter and it seemed we had to grab random passing waiters, who were all working very busily to serve the outside terrace. It felt like we were forgotten. Food was all totally under seasoned. Except the grilled vegetables which were over salted (but nothing else). Fries were oily and limp. The Octopus starter was enough for three people (see pic)! I had a tuna strak, supposedly rare, it was medium to well done, not pink at all. My guest had pork in bacon. Again no seasoning. We sent the fries back early on. At a certain point, a live band came on outside and the music (amped) was pipes inside. It was so loud you couldn’t hear a guest opposite on the same table. I initially i saw the manger attend and turn it down, but it reverted to very loud. I complained twice. But he didn’t attend to it again. We literally had to shout at the waiter as we tried to pay. As we had been forgotten it took ages to gran a waiter as they rushed past us in a blur. When we paid, although they took the uneaten fries off the bill, there was no other attempt to ameliorate our very poor experience. Rubbish evening. Would not go again.

A beautiful restaurant in a lovely setting. We sat on the terrace which had a lovely atmosphere. Service impeccable very attentive. A wide variety of food choices for all tastes. Delicious desserts.

Excellent restaurant with à nice sea side. Food is fresh and very good as the french fries. Ambiance is typical croat. The services are carefull and efficient with discretion.

A wonderful restaurant tucked away among pine trees, with only the sound of crickets in the background. Dinner on the terrace was a highlight the tuna steak perfectly cooked, the steak rich in flavor, and the steak tartare spot on. Service was excellent, and the convenience of onsite parking made the visit even easier.

Gnocchi was fantastic, as well as the beef dish for 4. Would be nice if they refilled water when it was empty, though server was very polite and helpful.

Definitely a place to visit for the special atmosphere! It’s very unique surrounded by trees. Food is also good

Wow! Amazing steaks and the BEST hugo spritz I’ve ever had. The Denver steak was amazing and their truffle fries were incredible. All around amazing

Hey :) We had a great dinner at Plan B with our group of friends. The food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. One thing that surprised us was the way of ordering – you get a paper and a pen and simply circle what you want. It felt like a little throwback to the past, but honestly, it was kind of fun and unique. As tourists from Prague, we were pleasantly surprised to find that we could order Staropramen beer – and it was great! A little taste of home made the evening even better. All the dishes we tried were really tasty, and everyone was happy with their meal. The only downside was that we couldn’t pay separately by card, which was a bit inconvenient as we were hoping to split the bill. I understand that it’s probably easier for groups to have one person pay, but still, it would have been nice to have the option. Overall, we’re giving it 5 stars because the food was excellent, and the small issues were just minor details. Definitely worth a visit! Greetings from the group from Prague 🇨🇿

Great place. Feeling of a local gastropub with fantastic upbeat atmosphere and mouthwatering food. Some tables are a bit cramped but they have seating outside which is fantastic for smokers and still great atmosphere. Highly recommend

The food is good but very basic. Service depends on the waiter/waitress. We got very rude one. He/she didn't even bother to bring us the drinks that we order. Atmosphere here is very pleasant.

Really tasty, juicy burgers with a variety of toppings available. I had three "mini burgers", which to be fair could stand alone as a full size burger in their own right. Buns were fresh, patties cooked perfectly, and toppings just right. We ordered fries each and onion rings to share, but I think one portion of fries could do 2-3 people easily. You order by filling out a little menu slip for your desired food items, which is a bit of a gimmick but I quite liked it. Choose what you want to order in your own time, cross out any ingredients you don't like, and the food came out in a timely manner taking into account our edit requests. Service was friendly and quick, but we didn't receive any napkins or sauces for our meal (which was needed) like other tables did.

We had a great time here and a very delicious food. The Service was so friendly. We had Pizza , Avocado and Veggie Salat and Fries with truffles. It was soooo good ☺️ Of course we will come back ☺️

Ordered mini burgers which were awesome! Only con is that the service was a little bit slow and had to wait beers for a quite long time. But we were satisfied, would recommend.

Busy place at lunch time. Login waiting but definetely worth IT. Great bao bao and Perfect rubs. Full of local people.
