Restaurant

Our place

Hidden by the walls of the 1700-year-old Diocletian's palace, sits our enchanted private terrace, neatly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the old towns very center with just a 10 minute walk from ACI Marina Split.

Crafted in stone, sheltered from the sun by the Milesi palace and our gracious 70-year-old fig tree that caringly shields our guests from the sun, our terrace offers the perfect ambiance for you to create moments in life with us.

Our house bears centuries of history in hospitality where some of the greatest laid their head. The greatest of them all, Croatian poet Tin Ujević created sitting here and drew inspiration from the unparalleled ambiance.

Every wooden piece was handcrafted by our in-house carpenter and presents a work of art in its own right.

Our open type cuisine allows you to glimpse at where the magic happens before it is presented to you so you can understand every delicious secret the Dalmatian cuisine hides.

Our family

At Makarun, we are all part of a family or extended family. Being part of a family makes rising up to challenges seamless. The challenge we chose, our sole mission every day, is to make our guests smile and be happy for a while.

We are blessed with our organic garden, our friends who provide only the best fish and meat Croatia can offer, our knowledge of wine and Dalmatian cuisine as well as experience in exceptional service to help us achieve this goal.

Come visit us and experience the taste that we have been crafting for years as we would be proud to present you with it.

Our garden

Cooking starts with the first step – finding the ingredient.

More times than not, that step is actually a huge leap. In times when everything is greener than green, rounder than round and bigger than big, acquiring something as simple as a tasty, organic vegetable is the most difficult task of all.

This is why we call our little organic garden a blessing, and this is why the entire family is happy to work hard every day on sustaining it even in the extreme conditions of the mid-summer season. Since our garden is located only 3 kilometers away, on the sun bathed south side of the Marjan forest, you can say that our vegetables are ultra local.

Our artist

Cooking is undoubtedly a form of art. Art brings people together, and presents the best way to preserve our heritage and identity. While you are sitting in our courtyard we are honored to present you with the art of cooking. While we have your attention we also wanted to present you with more forms of art:

Paintings, drawings and sculpture. For this reason our courtyard and our surroundings are enriched with the works of the great multi disciplinary artist - Matko Mijić. His art is never conforming, his art is ever evolving and ever growing while at any given moment still possessing that spark of the Mediterranean surrounding that made him. We can only hope to achieve the same with our food.
