Bokeria Kitchen & Wine

Best octopus I've had having been around Croatia 4 times now. The tenderness and juiciness of the meats is outstanding, and the garnishes and side dishes are just as good. The risotto is also absolutely incredible. The starters are very good, although not as mind blowing as the main courses. The fish tacos are the standout in my opinion. It's a very popular place, especially in the evenings, so make sure to book a table a very long time in advance. They do try to accommodate walk ins though. The music is a bit loud, again, especially in the evenings, which together with the crowd noise makes it a little difficult to hold conversation.

Bokeria in Split is a beautiful restaurant with a stylish and inviting atmosphere that immediately makes you feel like you’re in a special place. The presentation of the dishes is excellent — everything looks amazing and carefully prepared. However, while some plates taste just as good as they look, others don’t quite deliver the same “wow” factor once you try them. Prices are on the higher side compared to other spots in Split, so it’s definitely more of a treat-yourself place. Overall, Bokeria is worth visiting for the ambiance and experience, but not every dish lives up to its presentation.

We had a very disappointing experience here and definitely will not return. For starters, we ordered the soup and the codfish spring roll. The spring roll was the only decent thing we had crispy, flavorful, and well done. Unfortunately, the soup was a complete letdown. It was bland and absolutely no richness or depth you’d expect from a restaurant charging these prices. For mains, I had the squid ink risotto and my husband had the Angus beef. After our starters, we were left waiting almost 20 minutes for the mains. The risotto was dull, lacking any balance or seasoning, and had an unpleasant aftertaste. The Angus beef was chewy and poorly cooked, paired with mashed potatoes that were supposed to be elevated with truffle oil. As a country that actually produces truffles, this version was shockingly below standard flat, oily, and with none of the fragrant quality you’d expect. Service made the experience even worse. We were given a completely different menu from another table, which left us questioning whether there was some form of bias or discrimination happening. And when we asked for the bill, a female server simply pointed her finger at my original (male) server, refusing to assist and continuing her personal chat instead. Completely unprofessional, dismissive, and unacceptable for a place that positions itself as “above average.” Overall: long waiting times, overpriced dishes, inconsistent menus, poor service, and food that is far below the mark in flavor and execution. One good spring roll can’t save an otherwise awful dining experience.

went with 3 friends and had a great time. the food was some of the best we’ve had, especially the steak. the black ink risotto was also perfect. Our server was very polite, however we felt like we were being rushed a small bit by how often he came to refill our wine glasses. Great spot for a nice dinner, on the pricier side but would say it’s worth it

We did not just have a meal here but really a full on experience. Marco, our waiter, was friendly, knowledgeable, and perfectly attentive. Each bite of food was delicious and Marco’s Croatian wine recommendation paired incredibly. The atmosphere in the small streets of Split cannot be beat. This place is a must try! We started with the burrata and then enjoyed the pasta and the lamb shank for our mains. Would recommend all three!

The food and atmosphere are good. Waiters are quite friend and professional. Unfortunately our waiter brought our main dishes not at the same time due to a mistake. So we needed to wait for another 10 mins…He only apologized but without proving a free drink of dessert as a compensation, like other good restaurants would have done. So a bit disappointed.

Very nice place for dinner! We enjoyed the food and drinks at Bokeria. Highly recommend for a big group or more intimate date night. My favorites were the pasta and burrata, but everything was very good

This restaurant charmed us completely! The historic setting with its gorgeous interior made dinner feel special. Food was delicious - modern takes on Dalmatian classics with perfect execution. Their wine list impressed us with excellent local options we wouldn't find elsewhere.
