If you happen to find yourself in Split, don't miss the opportunity to indulge in an exceptional culinary experience at ZOI
Perched on the southern walls of Diocletian’s Palace, overlooking Split’s waterfront and the Adriatic Sea, ZOI Restaurant offers one of the most distinctive fine dining experiences in Croatia. Hidden behind small wooden doors and ancient stone staircases, ZOI reveals a world where history, atmosphere and contemporary Mediterranean cuisine come together in perfect harmony.
The restaurant stands beside the location of the former imperial dining halls, where emperors once gathered to dine, discuss philosophy and celebrate life. Surrounded by 1700 years of history, ZOI draws inspiration from the cultures, merchants, travellers and empires that shaped Split through centuries.
The kitchen is led by chef Alberto García Pérez, whose experience includes some of Europe’s most respected Michelin-starred restaurants. His cuisine combines Mediterranean identity with refined technique, creating elegant dishes deeply connected to the sea, local ingredients and the rhythm of Dalmatia.
Awarded four Gault&Millau toques and recommended by Michelin, ZOI has become a destination for guests seeking exceptional cuisine, curated wines and unforgettable evenings above the ancient walls of Split. As the sun disappears behind the harbour and the city slows into the night, ZOI becomes a place where time briefly stands still.
