Image - Villa Spiza
Place
Villa Spiza
Romana:You will find this small, cute restaurant in a narrow alley in the old town. Make sure you are here before 6.30 pm to get a seat. Outside there are only 2 tables and inside there is room at the bar or 1 of the 6 tables. For a place that is a favorite for many locals, you may have to wait. The menu card changes daily and the dishes are based on what is fresh that day. You don't have to be here for fine dining, but if you want authentic, fresh and well-prepared but simple food then you have to be here.

Place
Bokeria kitchen & wine bar
Romana:Bokeria has been open since 2015 and since then the real hotspot in Split. The owners were inspired by l’boqueiria, the famous market in Barcelona. They tried to create this same vibe in Bokeria and they succeeded! On the menu you will find different Croatian dishes in "tapas" style and lots of good Croatian wines.

more
Image - Matoni
Place
Matoni
Romana:This restaurant is really a must visit. Matoni is located in a basement of a century-old building and the decor and atmosphere is absolutely good. They serve typical Croatian dishes but slightly different than in most places. Consider gnocchi with duck breast and a lamb liver stew. You wouldn't think so but they also have many vegetarian and even vegan dishes!

Place
Kinoteka food and bar
Romana:This new hotspot has only just opened but is already a success. In this beautiful old inner garden you imagine yourself on a film set, this is the theme in which they have decorated their "kinoteka" which means cinema. The kitchen is Asian / Croatian and every dish is delicious. Also don't forget to order a cocktail from their extensive cocktail menu!

more
Image - Bacvice Beach
Place
Bacvice Beach
Romana:Bacvice beach is a 15-minute walk away. The beach is slowly getting deep, which means it has a nice temperature to swim in even in the early and late season. Another advantage of the Bacvice beach is that the sunbeds are nice and affordable! Just a stone's throw away is the beach bar Zbirac where the chilled beers are waiting for you!
