"Hrvoje Zirojević's Michelin-listed kitchen and a tree-shaded terrace over Šolta and Brač make Dvor Split's benchmark seafront dinner for an anniversary."
About Dvor
Dvor is the modern Dalmatian seafood restaurant of chef Hrvoje Zirojević, at Put Firula 14 by Firule beach, just east of Split's old town. It opened in 2013, is listed in the Michelin Guide, and has led our Split guide for a special-occasion dinner by the water. The kitchen takes traditional Adriatic cooking and gives it a contemporary, refined turn.
The draw is twofold: precise seafood and one of the best terraces on this stretch of coast, shaded by trees and looking straight out at the islands of Šolta and Brač. It is the kind of room that suits a milestone rather than a quick lunch. For what separates a kitchen worth the trip, see our guide to the signs of a great restaurant.
The Kitchen
Zirojević's cooking is modern Dalmatian, refined but rooted in the Adriatic: raw tuna with goose liver, smoked-sea risotto, ravioli in a wild-rabbit sauce, and pork crackling with bacon crisps among the standouts, alongside the day's catch. The five-course tasting menu runs around 470 kuna (roughly €60–65), with à la carte fish priced to the market. It is upper-tier for Split, and the produce and the setting justify it.
The Room
The terrace is the reason to come: set just back from the sea at Firule, shaded by mature trees, with an uninterrupted view across to Šolta and Brač that turns golden at dusk. It runs calm and polished rather than rowdy, more destination dinner than beach bar. Service is attentive and well-versed in the wine list, which leans into Croatian producers, and the sunset tables are the ones to request.
Best for a seafront anniversary or proposal
Book a terrace table at dusk for an anniversary or a proposal over the islands; the polish and the view also make it a strong room to impress clients visiting the coast.
Not for
A quick, cheap bite near the beach: this is a refined, top-tier seafood room where dinner is a slow, special-occasion affair priced to match.
