Split does mornings between the stone of Diocletian's Palace and the residential streets just west of the center. The brunch scene is younger than the city, a mix of health-leaning cafes, a bagel counter and one stylish Mediterranean room. These six, ranked, are where to spend a slow Dalmatian morning when the table matters as much as the coffee.
1.Bokeria Kitchen & Wine
The stylish Old Town room for a sit-down Mediterranean brunch; book a table under the soaring market-hall ceiling.
Bokeria Kitchen & Wine on Domaldova, just off Marmontova, is the city's most polished all-day room, named for Barcelona's La Boqueria market. The brunch reads pan-Mediterranean, eggs, cured meats and fresh local produce, with an extensive wine list to match.
The setting is the draw, a high-ceilinged former market hall with theatrical interior design at the center of the Old Town. It is the dressed-up end of the Split brunch scene, so book a weekend table and settle in for a long meal.
2.Kat's Kitchen Brunch Club
Split's dedicated brunch club for a wholesome weekend plate; the relaxed walk-in worth the short stroll from the center.
Kat's Kitchen Brunch Club sits in a quiet residential area just west of the Old Town, a small room built squarely around brunch. The menu is health-conscious and generous, bowls, eggs and good coffee in a relaxed, local setting.
It is the city's most brunch-focused address, the antidote to the tourist cafes on the Riva. The walk from the center takes a few minutes, but the calm room and the wholesome cooking reward it, so come on a weekend morning and take your time.
3.Brasserie on 7
The Riva's all-day waterfront brasserie for an eggs-and-coffee morning; book a terrace table over the harbor.
Brasserie on 7 sits right on the Riva, Split's waterfront promenade, an all-day international room that runs a reliable breakfast and brunch. The plates are familiar, eggs, pancakes and a full breakfast, in a polished setting at number seven.
The draw is the location, a terrace looking straight over the harbor and the palm-lined promenade. It is the most central morning in this ranking, so book a waterfront table for a slow start with the boats coming and going below.
4.Brooklyn Bagel Co.
Split's bagel counter for a quick, reasonably priced morning; the easy walk-in when you want breakfast on the move.
Brooklyn Bagel Co. is Split's New York-style bagel counter, a small spot turning out fresh bagels and breakfast sandwiches at prices that are gentle for the Old Town. It opens early and suits a quick, casual morning.
The room is tiny and the service fast, the place for a grab-and-go breakfast rather than a long sit-down. It is a useful walk-in between sightseeing stops, so order a loaded bagel and a coffee and carry it down to the water.
5.Pandora Greenbox
The leafy vegetarian room for a plant-led brunch; book the garden table for the greenest morning in the center.
Pandora Greenbox is a vegetarian-leaning room in the Old Town, open since 2019 and now a staple of Split's plant-based scene. The brunch is fresh and produce-driven, bowls, eggs and vegetable plates in a space wrapped in greenery.
The garden setting is the point, lush and calm a short walk from the palace walls. It is the pick for a lighter, meat-free morning, so book a table among the plants and pair it with a fresh juice on a warm day.
6.Zap Kitchen & Bar
A laid-back local room for a no-rush weekend breakfast; the walk-in worth the fifteen-minute stroll from town.
Zap Kitchen & Bar sits about a fifteen-minute walk from the Old Town in a residential area, a laid-back room offering a more local, unhurried breakfast. The menu is easygoing, eggs, toasts and good coffee away from the crowds.
The appeal is the calm, a neighborhood spot where the morning runs at a Dalmatian pace. It takes walk-ins, so it suits a slow start to the day, and the stroll out from the center keeps it free of the Riva tourist rush.
Not for everyone
Famous, but not your brunch
Bokamorra. The popular pizza-bar is a lively lunch-and-dinner room, not a morning service. Save it for an evening of Neapolitan pizza and cocktails rather than a weekend brunch.
Zoi. The rooftop fine-dining room above the palace is a dinner destination with views, not a brunch table. Book it for an evening tasting menu instead of an early start.
Konoba Matejuska. The tiny Dalmatian seafood konoba is a lunch-and-dinner institution for grilled fish, not a brunch room. For a morning instead, head to Bokeria or Kat's Kitchen Brunch Club.
How to brunch well in Split
Split brunch splits between the center and the streets just west of it. The Old Town holds the stylish and the quick, Bokeria for a sit-down Mediterranean morning, Brooklyn Bagel Co. and Pandora Greenbox for a faster or lighter one, and the Riva for a waterfront terrace at Brasserie on 7. The dedicated brunch rooms, Kat's Kitchen Brunch Club and Zap, sit a short walk west in quieter residential streets.
Reserve at Bokeria on a weekend, when its market-hall room fills, and book a Riva terrace at Brasserie on 7 for the harbor view. The neighborhood rooms take walk-ins, but tables turn slowly on a Dalmatian morning, so come earlier rather than later. Split is walkable, so a brunch out west is an easy stroll that trades the cruise-ship crowds for a calmer table.
