Adriatic Restaurant in Split

A Mediterranean restaurant on Sustipan, set just a few metres above the sea, with panoramic views of Split, the marina, and the islands.

Mediterranean Restaurant in Split by the Sea

Adriatic is a premium Mediterranean restaurant in Split, located on Sustipan, just a few minutes’ easy walk from the city centre. Set on the striking cliffs that mark the entrance to the city, one of Split’s most recognisable locations, Adriatic sits only a few metres above the sea.

It is one of the city’s most popular restaurants, with a terrace overlooking Split, ACI Marina, and the nearby islands. The view gives the space a distinct sense of place, whether you are visiting for lunch or dinner.

Here, a relaxed atmosphere, attentive service, and a kitchen built around fresh ingredients come together naturally, from selected meat dishes and seasonal flavours to seafood specialities and exceptionally fresh wild-caught fish sourced by fishermen from the island of Vis.

With our sea-facing grill terrace, Adriatic is an excellent choice for an everyday visit, yet distinctive enough for dinner, a celebration, or life’s more important moments.

Fresh ingredients and authentic Mediterranean flavors

Our kitchen is built on the finest ingredients and a clear idea: good flavour speaks for itself. The menu features exceptionally fresh wild-caught fish, lobster, scampi, European lobster, shellfish and other seafood, alongside homemade pasta and gnocchi, risottos, meat specialties, and Adriatic’s signature desserts.

Each dish is designed to preserve Mediterranean simplicity while bringing out a character that stays with you. From a light lunch to an elegant dinner, the focus is always on a broad spectrum of flavours, precise preparation, refined presentation, and a beautifully relaxed experience by the sea.

Adriatic Restaurant Menu

The Adriatic restaurant menu includes cold and warm starters, seafood dishes, meat specialities, vegetarian options, desserts, and cocktails to open or close the evening.

From Adriatic tuna tartare and Dalmatian-style octopus to green Adriatic risotto, the daily selection of premium fresh fish, Adriatic beefsteak, and chocolate soufflé, the menu is designed for guests looking for more than a classic restaurant meal.

Seafood Restaurant in Split

Adriatic is an excellent choice for guests looking for a seafood restaurant in Split with sea views, fresh ingredients, and dishes rooted in Dalmatian and Mediterranean cuisine.

The menu brings together classic seafood favourites, the daily fresh catch, and dishes with a more contemporary Adriatic signature.

Fresh fish, daily catch and seafood specialties

The seafood selection at Adriatic is led by the daily catch of white fish, prepared simply on the grill or in traditional dishes such as brodetto and gregada. Lobster and European lobster can be served grilled or buzara style, while the menu also includes prawns, scampi, shellfish, squid, sea bass fillet, tuna steak, monkfish in a nut crust, and rich seafood dishes such as octopus and squid brudet.

Dalmatian-style seafood specialties

For guests looking to share, the Korčula style macaroni buzara for two brings together fresh seafood and a deeply Mediterranean approach to flavour. Across the seafood menu, the focus remains on the quality of the ingredient itself, whether the dish is classic, slow cooked, grilled, or finished with a more modern Adriatic touch.

Steaks and Meat Specialties in Split

Adriatic is not only a destination for exceptional fish and seafood. For guests who prefer meat dishes, our menu offers carefully selected cuts and composed plates designed for a full, refined dining experience.

Traditional meat specialties

The meat selection focuses on carefully chosen cuts and well-balanced combinations that give each dish its own character. Guests who prefer a classic choice can enjoy grilled beefsteak or Irish beef striploin from the grill, while the Adriatic beefsteak offers a richer interpretation, served with potato purée and pancetta in kadaif tempura.

For those looking for something more distinctive, the menu includes veal steak with mushrooms, sour cream, and sweet potato purée, duck breast with young potatoes, green beans, and orange sauce, as well as lamb rack with pistachio, pancetta, cherry tomatoes, and plum sauce.

Our dishes are richer and more substantial meals, yet they retain the distinctive style of coastal cuisine. As they are carefully prepared and presented, they are an ideal choice for both lunch and dinner.

Adriatic premium steaks

For steak lovers, the Adriatic beefsteak is one of the signature choices. It combines grilled meat, mashed potatoes, pancetta in kadaif tempura, and a pecorino and gorgonzola sauce, giving the dish a fuller and creamier character.

It is part of the meat specialties selection for guests looking for a steak in Split that goes beyond a simple cut of meat on a plate, with more detail and a clear Adriatic signature.

Why Choose Adriatic Restaurant in Split

A dining experience just steps from the sea

Adriatic is one of those Split restaurants by the sea where the location is not just a nice extra, but an integral part of the whole experience. The terrace, sea air, sunset, and views of the city and islands create an atmosphere that works just as well for a daytime lunch as it does for an evening out.

A place for every occasion

You can come here for fish, steak, a glass of wine, a cocktail, dessert, or a full dinner in several courses. Adriatic is elegant enough for a special occasion, but relaxed enough to make you want to return without needing a particular reason.

Sea view, atmosphere and a memorable experience

An excellent restaurant is not made by the plate alone. It is the view, the pace of the evening, the scent of the sea, the attention from the staff, and the feeling that you chose the right place. That is why guests choose Adriatic, not just for the dinner, but for an overall experience that feeds all the senses.
