Sustainability at Makarun: A Commitment to Authentic, Responsible Dining

At Makarun, sustainability is not just a trend — it’s part of who we are. Nestled in the heart of Split, our restaurant is built around a simple philosophy: to honor the land, the sea, and the people who make this region special.

Locally Sourced, Fresh, and Minimalist

Our menu is crafted around fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers, fishermen, and producers who share our values. By focusing on what’s available nearby, we reduce transportation emissions and support small, sustainable businesses in our community. Every dish at Makarun highlights the natural flavors of each ingredient, with minimal processing and maximum respect.

Less Waste, More Purpose

In our kitchen, efficiency and precision go hand in hand with ecological awareness. We carefully plan every part of the process to minimize food waste — from using whole ingredients wherever possible to creative use of leftovers and byproducts. We also reduce single-use plastics, recycle consistently, and strive to maintain a low-impact workflow.

A Space That Breathes Nature

Our courtyard, shaded by a 70-year-old fig tree, is more than just a place to dine — it’s a reminder of how connected we are to nature. Materials like stone and wood, along with the colors of the sea, define our visual identity and atmosphere. Sustainability for us is not only about what’s on the plate but about the entire experience.

Looking Ahead

We believe the future of hospitality lies in responsibility. Our team is continuously working on new ways to improve — from reducing water and energy consumption to considering a cashless payment system that limits unnecessary paper use. We are committed to growing, learning, and doing better every day.

At Makarun, sustainability isn’t a buzzword. It’s the way we live, cook, and welcome our guests — with care, authenticity, and awareness.
