About

Bokeria Kitchen & Wine is one of the most recognizable restaurants in Split, located in the heart of the historic city centre, just a few minutes’ walk from Diocletian’s Palace and the Riva waterfront. Since opening in 2014, Bokeria has become a popular choice for both locals and international visitors looking for Mediterranean food, excellent Croatian wines and a lively dining atmosphere in Split Old Town.

Inspired by Barcelona’s famous La Boqueria market, Bokeria combines Mediterranean flavours with a modern, creative approach to cooking. The restaurant itself is part of the experience. Set inside a former hardware store, the impressive two-level interior features high ceilings, a striking chandelier, an open kitchen and shelves filled with wine bottles. Despite its central location, Bokeria feels much more like a destination restaurant than a typical tourist stop.

The Bokeria menu changes with the seasons and focuses on fresh ingredients, Mediterranean flavours and dishes designed to showcase both the Adriatic and the wider region. Depending on the current menu, guests can find seafood favourites such as octopus, black risotto and sea bass alongside meat dishes, pasta, burgers, smaller plates for sharing and desserts. This makes Bokeria equally suitable for a relaxed lunch while exploring Split, dinner for two or a longer evening with friends.

Wine is an important part of the Bokeria experience. As its full name – Bokeria Kitchen & Wine – suggests, the restaurant has built a strong reputation for its wine selection, with particular emphasis on Croatian labels alongside carefully selected international wines. For visitors interested in discovering Croatian wine while in Split, Bokeria offers an excellent opportunity to pair local wines with contemporary Mediterranean cuisine.

The restaurant’s quality has also been recognized by Gault&Millau Croatia, which awarded Bokeria Kitchen & Wine 13.5/20 points in its 2026 guide.

Location is another major advantage. Bokeria sits within Split’s pedestrian Old Town, making it easy to reach from Diocletian’s Palace, Pjaca, Marmontova Street and the Riva. Its central position makes it an excellent restaurant choice before or after sightseeing, but Bokeria is also worth visiting as a dining destination in its own right.

If you are searching for one of the best-known restaurants in Split city centre, Bokeria Kitchen & Wine combines a memorable interior, Mediterranean cuisine, an extensive wine selection and the vibrant atmosphere that makes dining in Split so enjoyable.

Bokeria can be particularly busy during the summer season and on weekends, so booking a table in advance is recommended. Explore the current Bokeria menu and reserve your table at Bokeria Kitchen & Wine online through Table Joe, 24/7.
