Over the last five years, tourism in Eastern Europe has exploded, from the best places to eat and drink in Bratislava, to the blissful coastal delights of Split and the new quirky, cool hotels of Athens, Eastern European countries have never been so appealing. Winter and spring are cooler months, but still provide a great time to visit. Fewer tourists = no need for restaurant reservations - this is when serious food lovers take advantage. Here are the best restaurants in Split, whatever your budget.
The best restaurants in Split, Croatia
1. Dvor ($$$)
Croatia’s climate and lifestyle lend themselves to long lunches overlooking the sea; the only place to do this is at Dvor, above Firule Beach. The location is so beautiful you’ll want to stay forever - try the sea bass tartare and pork belly with a crisp glass of Croatian white wine, then go back later for dessert as the sun sets.

2. Daddy Cool ($)
Back in town, try a shrimp falafel at Daddy Cool. This hip little joint has a real good thing going with just three falafel options on the menu, but they are all equally delightful. There's hardly any seating inside Daddy Cool, but it’s a good take-out option if you want to take food to the beach.
3. Ciro Biri Bela ($$)
For a cool twist on classic drinks, like fiery ginger aperol spritz, drop in the cute joint, Ciri Biri Bela. It's only a few years old, but they've already got the scene sussed, with a fabulous courtyard surrounded by plants and twinkling lights. It's atmospheric, friendly, and there's good music to boot.
4. Kanoba Marjam ($$)
Kanoba Marjam does incredible seafood - don't miss the homemade pasta with truffle, prawns, and pancetta. Get a table outside to watch the world go by.
5. Cevapcici from a food truck ($)
If you spy a food truck on the side of a road, don't miss the local kebab, cevapcici, consisting of mini pieces of grilled meat served inside the most delicious pitta bread you’ll ever eat, and all for less than $4/£3.
6. Zeru Café and Bistro ($$)
For good wine served with a side of local knowledge, interesting chats, and tapas-style food, head over to Zeru Café and Bistro. Only a few years old, it already has a brilliant reputation.
