Gault&Millau's review 2026

The restaurant Adriatic is located in the most prominent position in Split, above the nautical marina, overlooking the harbour, the entire city and all the surrounding islands. It is a modern, spacious restaurant, surrounded by an equally spacious terrace on three sides, with an impressive view and a pleasant atmosphere. Adriatic is the favourite place of the local and foreign sailors that keep their boats in the marina. The restaurant offers both regional and international dishes. In addition to the standard appetizers such as octopus salad, steak tartare, tuna carpaccio, on the menu they have the green risotto with prawns and squid, the Istrian fuži (kind of pasta) with black truffle, as well as the cuttlefish noodles with pistachio and the spring rolls. We liked their steak tartare, spiced and slightly hot, served with lots of butter. We tried the gnocchi in cod and truffle cream. An interesting combination of flavours in a creamy sauce with pieces of dried cod and truffles, and pieces of fried pancetta on the top. It was delicious, plentiful and filling. Of course, Adriatic has also a rich offer of grilled fish prepared in the traditional way, as well as a standard meat offer with high-quality steaks. We finished our lunch with the excellent Unfinished strudel, which is the Adriatic’s signature dessert. The fresh apples on vanilla cream and white chocolate with thin kadayif pastry (angel’s hair) delight us every time.
