Terminal F — Restaurant in Grad Split

As someone who's had the pleasure of "checking in" at Terminal F in Split, I can confidently say it's one of the city's standout destinations. This isn't just a bar; it's an immersive experience that perfectly blends a unique, airport-themed atmosphere with top-notch service and excellent offerings. The first thing that strikes you is the incredibly creative design. The industrial, airport-inspired decor is a fresh and exciting change from the typical establishments in the area. From the large iron bar to the "boarding announcement" panels, every detail has been meticulously thought out. It creates a fun and stylish backdrop for a night out, and the staff in their pilot and stewardess uniforms just add to the whole fun vibe. Now, onto the important stuff: the food and drinks. Terminal F excels here. The cocktail menu is extensive and expertly crafted. You can find everything from classic favorites to inventive concoctions that are both delicious and visually appealing. For those who appreciate a well-made drink, this is the place to be. The food menu is equally impressive, offering a variety of international dishes like burgers, tacos, and pizzas, as well as some more substantial options. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and a step above typical pub fare. It's clear that they put a lot of thought and care into their kitchen, making it a great spot for a full meal or just some delicious snacks to go with your drinks. Finally, the bartenders and the entire staff deserve a special mention. They are the heart of Terminal F. Not only are they knowledgeable about the menu and skilled at their craft, but they are also genuinely friendly and welcoming. They create a lively and relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Their professionalism and positive energy are a huge part of what makes Terminal F so special. Whether you're starting your night, grabbing a quick bite, or settling in for a full evening of drinks and conversation, Terminal F is a must-visit in Split. It's a place where you can eat, drink, and be entertained in a truly unique setting, all while being taken care of by an outstanding crew.

Special shout...

We've eaten here as a family quite often in recent years, the ambiance was cool, the food good and affordable. The last time we were here was in April 2023 and this time in July 2023 and it has UNFORTUNATELY CHANGED A LOT: The menu and the offer has greatly reduced, the prices have been raised by about 50% (burger now €17-19 instead of €11-14, 0,5L beer costs €8,-- no matter if drafted or bottled) The service was lousy. Maybe we were unlucky with our waiter but he did not know the map of the restaurant, could hardly speak English, forgot things and then brought them wrong too. On a pizza with arugula and truffle both ingredients were missing, on our demand he said the ingredients would have run out. When pepperoni was ordered instead, they were brought, but they were still on the bill in the end. (We then complained on principle and paid the €2 less).

Unfortunately, it is - and always has been in the past - impossible to exchange ingredients. For example, instead of the standard fries to make an upgrade. That is possible or almost normal in the most fast food restaurants, but not here. You always get the standard fries and have to order, for example, onion rings or sweet potato fries for €7.5 extra. It is really a pity what was made in such a short time - for whatever reason - from a nice restaurant. This is how you drive away guests. It might work in mainseason, but I hope after that it changes and brings them back...

My advice - stay away and find somewhere that gives more value for your hard earned money.

Been to this place about 3 weeks apart. As a tourist, the place is highly attractive due to nice decor and a prominent spot at the beginning of the Split arcade.

First time, I had tuna tacos which was ok. Second time I went for a simple nacho (technically a starter) and it was inedible due to the amount of salt I. The beef and on the nachos. It was honestly like I was just pouring salt out of the shaker straight into my mouth. No flavour at all to the beef or the nachos except the salt taste of course. I mentioned this to the waitor and although he was apologetic, he said this was a common occurrence due to the restaurant/diner employing high schools students as chefs. This reason just annoyed me more. And the waitor just too the good back and offered me no alternative or even asked if I wanted something else. When the bill came, of course they had billed me for it and after simply refusing to pay at all, the management gave me a 50% discount on the nachos (which I reluctantly paid bc I was on a date otherwise I wouldn’t have paid for them at all).

Overall, the service is just barely reasonable and I noted this on both occasions. Also they won’t serve tap water so forget about that.

I won’t be returning...
