ALKA - FINE FOOD OLD MONEY STYLE RESTAURANT

We had dinner at Restaurant Alka on our last two evenings in Trogir, and it was truly a highlight of our vacation. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and very well taken care of. Our waiter Slavisa was extremely friendly, funny, and attentive, yet never intrusive — something we especially appreciated, as it was already near the end of the season. The evening started with a complimentary appetizer of bread with hummus and garlic in oil, which was a lovely touch. For the main course, we shared a sea bream, which our waiter kindly filleted at the table. The fish was fresh, perfectly prepared, and absolutely delicious. As it was our final night in Croatia, we were surprised with a complimentary dessert platter, which made the experience even more memorable. We felt completely comfortable and well looked after, and we will definitely return to Alka the next time we are in Trogir. Highly recommended!

The owner cares about his ingredients and his customers. The food and location were excellent. During the mid day heat the fans and misters were running and the awning was open. Though it was 37 degrees we were very comfortable. We went three times and had a seafood for 2 for both a lunch and dinner and the meat platter for dinner (chateuabriand). The portions were large, satisfying and very tasty. The accompanying local wines were also excellent.

The staff were amazing and welcoming. The food was incredible. We went with the set menu for 2 which made it the best value for money meals we've had in Croatia. 3 courses and everything including 500ml house wine and digestifs under €100. That's with 1kg chateubriand. We sat on the rooftop terrace and it was lovely for our last evening in Trogir. Would come back again! Highly recommended.

Glad we discovered this charming restaurant tucked away in a small courtyard. With white tablecloths, old-school charm, and attentive waiters in quirky vests, it sets the perfect tone. The food was fresh, traditional, and genuinely well-prepared—everything you see in the photos delivered exactly as promised. A true hidden gem.

Highly recommend! Ate there twice, both times food and service impeccable and very relaxed eating on the terrace. You will get your money's worth here: the portions are respectable, and you don't really pay more than elsewhere, the food just has a higher quality. Ask them for their dry-aged steaks (not on the menu). I can recommend the Alka steak (see photo). Overall, definitively above the usual fare around here :-))

When I came to Croatia I asked a Uber driver for a food recommendation and he told me 'If you want a fish dish, you should go to Alka'. That evening I went with my grandmother and mother. We started with a fish soup and mushroom soup and then black cuttlefish risotto and pasta with seafood. I 10/10 RECOMMEND THE CUTTLEFISH RISOTTO!!!!! I ate it everytime and this restaurand truly had the best!!! The service was amazing, the staff were kind and handsome 😅 the food came quick but not too fast. Really nothing to complain. Greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱

Fantastic food and service. Even though I had to be gluten free, they accommodated me every way they could. Very enjoyable environment and great service. The menu with steak was fantastic.

An absolutely outstanding dining experience! We started with the fried Vlaški cheese paired with 28-month aged Dalmatian ham, and it was nothing short of perfection. The cheese was beautifully crisp on the outside, meltingly rich on the inside, and the ham had a depth of flavor that only comes with such careful aging. Together with the olives, peppers, and creamy dips, it was a plate that balanced indulgence with tradition — a true taste of Dalmatia. For the main, the Chateaubriand cooked medium rare was exceptional. Perfectly grilled with a deep, smoky crust and a tender, juicy interior, it was presented simply but elegantly on a wooden board, allowing the quality of the beef to shine. Each bite was melt-in-the-mouth and full of flavor — a dish that embodies refinement and care in preparation. On top of the incredible food, the service was equally outstanding. Attentive without ever being intrusive, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and guided us through the menu with passion and knowledge. Every detail was taken care of, elevating the whole lunch into something truly memorable. From presentation to taste, and from the atmosphere to the service, everything was flawless. This meal wasn’t just food, it was a celebration of local ingredients and hospitality at its very best. Highly recommended — I’d come back in a heartbeat!
