"Zinfandel Food & Wine bar – Split. On a narrow street in the old town, this welcoming, lively restaurant is open for breakfast until dinner time, and offers a lively atmosphere with live music. The young Croatian chef offers an eclectic cuisine, combining Dalmatian and international influences. Homemade tonnarelli with Prošek wine, onion, garlic and shrimp sauce are excellent. The well-chosen wine list covers the whole country, with 15 wines by the glass." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Situated in a narrow street in the old town, this busy, welcoming restaurant is open from breakfast to dinner, when live music adds to the atmosphere. The young Croatian chef serves eclectic cuisine which includes Dalmatian recipes alongside more internationally influenced fare. Some of the dishes are designed for sharing, such as the platters of local hams and cheeses, while the homemade tonnarelli pasta with a Prošek wine sauce, onions, garlic and prawns is excellent. The well-curated wine list covers the whole of Croatia, with around 15 wines also available by the glass." - Michelin Inspector
"A tribute to the zinfandel grape, which originated in Croatia, this restaurant and bar features a zin-centric wine list but also showcases regional favorites like Plavac and Dingač. Of its 100 wines, it offers about 30 by the glass, encouraging guests to taste their way through Croatia’s wine heritage. Pair your drinks with one of the restaurant’s three-tiered platters, which come loaded with Dalmatian bites, then settle in on the terrace for some live music. If you’re hungry for a full meal, opt instead for the five-course “Taste of Dalmatia” menu, which includes everything from seared Adriatic tuna and homemade oxtail ravioli to calamari stuffed with ricotta and sun-dried tomatoes. Come morning, Zinfandel also serves breakfast, which diners can pair with champagne or fig-flavored travaric a, a local herb grappa."
