Best Team Dinner Restaurants in Split 2026
By Anaïs Laurent · Published · Updated
The best team table in Split is Konoba Fetivi, a Bib Gourmand tavern in Varos where market-fresh Dalmatian seafood arrives on platters built for sharing. Editorial runners-up: Bokamorra, Apetit City, Mazzgoon, and Storija inside the palace walls.
There is a long table in a stone konoba in the Varos quarter where a whole grilled fish lands in the middle and twelve people reach across each other to argue about the best part. That is a Split team dinner at its best: shared platters, big Dalmatian wines, and a room old enough to make the evening feel like an occasion. The city's dining sits largely inside Diocletian's 1,700-year-old palace, which gives a group setting most cities cannot match. These seven are where a team eats well together in 2026.
What Makes a Team Dinner Work in Split
Split's geography does half the work. Much of the old town sits inside the walls of Diocletian's Palace, a Roman complex from around 300 AD, so a group dinner here happens among stone arches and vaulted courtyards that no purpose-built room can fake. Book a table inside the palace and the setting alone makes the evening memorable for a visiting team.
The food culture suits groups too. Dalmatian cooking is built on shared platters of grilled fish, cured meats, and slow-cooked peka, the dishes that land in the middle and get passed around. The konobas, the traditional taverns, are made for long tables and loud conversation, while the newer fine-dining rooms can handle a more formal team dinner. Ask about a private room or a long communal table when you book a group of eight or more.
Seven Split Tables Built for the Team
Konoba Fetivi is Split's Bib Gourmand tavern in the Varos quarter, the family-run konoba where market-fresh Dalmatian seafood is served without pretence or markup. Whole grilled fish and shared platters are the order for a group, and the long-table, loud-room format is exactly what a team dinner wants. The value is rare for a Michelin-listed kitchen, which keeps a big group's bill sane.

Bokamorra is Split's consensus best pizza, a 48-hour dough fired Neapolitan-style and topped with truffle and smoked shrimp, paired with a proper cocktail list a short walk from the Riva. The format is forgiving for a mixed group: everyone finds something, the pizzas share easily, and the energy is upbeat rather than formal. It is the relaxed, crowd-pleasing call for a younger team.

Apetit City sets careful modern Croatian cooking inside Diocletian's Palace, with Dalmatian sourcing and a considered wine list among 1,700-year-old Roman walls. The room handles a group well, formal enough for a client-facing team dinner but warm enough to relax. For a team that wants the palace setting without the top-end fine-dining price, this is the balanced choice.

Tucked behind the Iron Gates of Diocletian's Palace on Bajamonti Street, Mazzgoon is a family-run, hidden-lane bistro turning out homemade pasta, tiger prawn salad, rabbit ragout, and pasticada. The intimate room suits a smaller team of six to eight who want a discovery rather than a marquee name. Book ahead, as the lane setting means limited covers.

Storija is the only restaurant actually set inside Diocletian's Palace walls, all vaulted stone and original arches, serving modern Croatian cooking with truffles, monkfish, and Dalmatian prosciutto. It is the room for a team dinner that needs to impress a client or mark a milestone, where the Roman setting and the kitchen both pull their weight. Ask about the long table among the arches.

Restaurant Dvor sits above Firule Beach with terraced seating over the Adriatic and island views, where Michelin-recommended chef Hrvoje Žirojević cooks modern Dalmatian seafood. The seafront terrace is a fine setting for a team dinner with a celebratory edge, away from the old-town crowds. For a group marking a win, the view and the kitchen make it a memorable close to a trip.

Zrno Soli has held its Michelin Guide Croatia listing for five consecutive years, with a terrace over the ACI Marina, fresh Adriatic fish picked from the display case, and a deep wine list. The marina-front room and large terrace handle a sizeable group comfortably, and choosing the fish at the case is a shared ritual a team enjoys. It is the polished marina option for a formal team night.

Booking a Group Table in Split
In summer, the palace rooms and Bib Gourmand konobas fill weeks ahead for groups; book Konoba Fetivi, Storija, and Zrno Soli two to four weeks out for a table of eight or more. Smaller rooms like Mazzgoon have limited covers, so a group of six should reserve early.
Dalmatian cooking is built for sharing, so order whole grilled fish, platters, and slow-cooked peka for the centre of the table rather than separate mains. Mention the group size when you book and ask about a long communal table or a private room, which several of these rooms can arrange.
A table inside Diocletian's Palace, at Storija or Apetit City, gives a visiting team a setting no purpose-built room can match. For the full picture, see our Split dining guide and the global best restaurants for a team dinner.
