The interior was modern yet strikingly thoughtful—a simplified elegance that spoke volumes.

The culinary experience was nothing short of a revelation. The wine list read like a love letter to the local vineyards, each selection paired perfectly with the flavors of the dishes. Each sip was a journey through the terroir, a celebration of craftsmanship in a glass.

The meals? A symphony of tradition and innovation. Everything was handmade with the utmost care, from the bread still warm from the oven to the delicately plated main courses. Each bite told a story of local roots and timeless techniques, yet with an artistry that elevated it to an unforgettable experience. The dishes were familiar in their inspiration but remarkable in their execution—comforting yet refined, bold yet balanced.

And the staff? They were the heart of the experience. Attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable without being overbearing, they made every guest feel like royalty. They shared the origins of the recipes, the history of the ingredients, and the passion behind every element on the table.

There’s an energy in this place that can’t be manufactured. It’s in the laughter of the guests, the pride of the chefs, the care in the service—it’s a rare magic.

no-such-restaurant-in-the-region. After visiting and dining in most (or all) of the best (rated) restaurants in Split, Dalmatia and Croatia, KRUG restaurant wins by a landslide. All other restaurants, Michelin starred and Michelin recommended aside, but Krug just takes the cake. Though I am not a fan of it’s “air of exclusivity” I have to say that I enjoyed my time as one of few guests that night.

During 150 minutes experience, their sommelier explaing the way they age meat and fish, way they buy, collect and pickle fresh food to use later in their state-of-the-art-dishes. Their wine selection is very substantial and you will not go wrong if you choose the fusion menu. The way the entire crew is synced in delivering a treat for the eyes and the palate is exquisite. We had a chance to know the main chef Karlo and learn about his philosophy and the idea of a restaurant that Split needed but never really deserved or appreciated. The food combinations might seem odd, for as a layman it was difficult for me to comprehend how you can have combucha in the meal. Honestly, my greatest doubt was seeing carob in a desertc but the doubt was soon replaced by a sheer thrill! The interior, wine selection, service and ultimately the food will give you the experience like no-such, since this kind of restaurant is nowhere to be found in hundreds of miles and will, in no time, earn its stars. Not to delude you, it will cost you, but it will be...
