Restaurant Krug

Restaurant Krug in Split, a truly outstanding experience One of the best, if not the best restaurant in Croatia. The space is minimalist yet perfectly styled, every detail feels intentional. The team - professional, attentive but never intrusive, radiating great energy. And the food… simply a story on its own. Each dish is brilliantly crafted, balanced, and executed to perfection. A special highlight was the wine flight, which followed the menu flawlessly and elevated the whole experience. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to this kind of quality and emotion is rare to find. 👋 Greetings from Dubrovnik!

I feel bad giving a 4-star review, because 7 out of the 9 dishes were amazing — some more than others, but all truly impressive. Unfortunately, the two mains (cod and the steak) were just far too salty. So salty, in fact, that I couldn’t taste anything else, which was a real shame considering the ingredients were clearly of the highest quality. I appreciate all sorts of combinations when it comes to food, but I firmly believe that the ingredients should speak for themselves, and not the seasoning. Appetizers were out of this world. I would skip the wine pairing — at €90 for 4 glasses, it simply isn’t justifiable. On the other hand, the non-alcoholic pairing was fantastic. The atmosphere and staff were wonderful — I’d describe it as “France meets Japan” when ti comes to the design of the restaurant, and the vibe was unpretentious (which we really appreciate). Plating and presentation were spectacular — a true 10/10. Had the two mains not been so overly salted, it would have been a perfect 9-course meal. It’s more than just dinner — it’s a full experience, and we had a beautiful time overall. I do highly recommend it.

This was the best meal I have ever had. The food was incredible. Every bite was immaculate. The sommelier suggested amazing wines (including one of the best red wines I've ever tasted) that paired perfect with each dish. They catered to me not liking seafood. They catered to my MIL not eating gluten. The staff and chefs were so friendly and explained each dish and answered questions. Truly an incredible experience.

We decided to treat ourselves to a special evening at Krug—and what unfolded was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped through the door to the final farewell, the entire experience felt intentional, intimate, and profoundly memorable. It becomes immediately clear why this restaurant has earned a Michelin star so quickly; excellence isn’t just an aspiration here—it’s their baseline. My husband and I have been fortunate enough to dine at remarkable restaurants all over the world, yet Krug now stands among the absolute best meals we have ever had. The kitchen is the beating heart of the restaurant—beautifully open, alive with creativity, and mesmerizing to watch. You don’t just taste the chef’s artistry; you witness it being born right in front of you. From Marie, the warm and attentive maître d’, to Jure, the exceptionally knowledgeable sommelier, to Chef Carlo and every member of the team, the hospitality felt both effortless and deeply personal. They create not just a dinner, but an experience—one so cohesive and thoughtful that it lingers long after the last bite. Each course was a revelation. Every bite carried layers of flavor and texture that unfolded like chapters in a story—unexpected, imaginative, and unforgettable. It’s rare to encounter food that feels both technically brilliant and emotionally moving, yet Krug manages this with grace. And somehow, despite the world-class execution and artistry, the pricing is astonishingly reasonable. For what you receive, it feels almost unreal. If you find yourself in Split, do not let this experience pass you by. You will thank us later—truly. Be sure to reserve ahead, as they serve only twelve guests per evening, making each service feel exclusive in all the right ways. To the entire Krug team: thank you for an evening we will never forget. We will be back, again and again.

The dishes at this Michelin one-star restaurant were consistently well-executed, with the seafood course, hake and langoustine, being particularly memorable. All the ingredients were very fresh, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent.

This was my second visit to Krug, and my first since they received their well-deserved Michelin star — and it somehow managed to exceed my already high expectations. Krug offers only 12 seatings a day, which allows them to focus entirely on quality ingredients and exceptional customer service. Every dish is made with locally sourced ingredients, and each plate was a work of art: complex, inventive, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The service was flawless — warm, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable about both the menu and the ingredients. You can feel the passion and care in every detail, from the plating to the pacing of the courses. Krug is not just a meal, it’s an experience — one I would happily repeat again and again.

The entire dining experience at Krug was beyond words — a truly wonderful and special concept, atmosphere and service paired with exceptional food. We felt like we were in a movie telling a love story. You can feel the love in every step the staff takes — in the way they welcome you, prepare your food, pay attention to detail and explain everything to you. Each course is so complex, yet so simple, so unique, yet familiar. We were blown away because it was hard to believe that the entire menu could live up to the high expectations set by the previous course, but they delivered. It's really hard to pick favorites, so it's best not to even try. The whole experience felt like finding love, art, and a little bit of magic in something as simple and complex as food. I wholeheartedly recommend dining at Krug. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us ✨️

Just splendid. One of the best 1-star experiences in my life so far! Beautiful wine pairings, and nice fermented non-alcoholic ones.
