Fine Dining Under Split’s Stars: Makarun’s Rooftop Chef’s Table

Tucked away in Split's historic heart, within the shadows of the Diocletian Palace, lies Makarun. More than just a restaurant, Makarun offers a glimpse into Split's rich culinary past, seamlessly interwoven with modern gastronomic artistry. But for those seeking an even more exclusive experience, Makarun unveils its crown jewel: the Chef's Table on the rooftop terrace.

Step off the bustling streets of Split's Fruit Square and into a peaceful oasis at Makarun. Here, on a charming terrace overlooking the square, a majestic fig tree stands sentinel. Its gnarled branches whisper tales of countless meals shared, laughter echoing, and love stories unfolding beneath its shade. This very spot, steeped in history, once housed Kolombatovic, one of Split's earliest restaurants. Makarun honors this legacy, weaving the past into the present with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and an atmosphere brimming with warmth and history.

Makarun's dedication to exceptional dining reaches new heights with their exclusive Chef's Table experience on the rooftop terrace. Imagine a private haven overlooking the ancient palace, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. Here, an open-style kitchen allows a glimpse into the culinary artistry at play, while a handcrafted table and dedicated lounge area create an intimate and luxurious ambiance.

Leading this culinary adventure is the talented Chef Bože Vugdelija. Alongside his sous-chef, he personally curates an unforgettable eight-course tasting menu for your party. The freshest, most exquisite seasonal ingredients, hand-selected by Chef Vugdelija himself on the morning of your dinner, are transformed into culinary masterpieces on your plate.

Elevating the experience further is Sommelier Stipe Tadić. Working in tandem with a dedicated server, Stipe ensures each course is paired with the perfect drop of wine. He guides you through the journey, ensuring every sip complements and elevates the flavors on your plate.

Understanding that every palate is unique, Makarun encourages guests to communicate any preferences. This allows them to tailor the menu to your specific tastes, ensuring a truly unforgettable evening.
