Makarun Split

The grill sea bass is fresh and delicious. The food presentation is excellent. It’s raining during the time I went and the waiter lead me to the table which the rains dropped to my body. I can’t enjoy the time there much. The waiter service is so so.

This was our second visit to Makarun - this time for lunch - and once again it was an absolute highlight of our time in Split. The restaurant masterfully combines fresh, local ingredients with modern presentation and preparation, offering a culinary experience that feels both authentic and refined. We were lucky to have Toni as our waiter – his warmth, attention to detail, and genuine passion for food and wine made our visit truly unforgettable. We couldn’t decide on just one dish, so we ended up sharing everything – and it was the best decision we could’ve made! We started with the Sea Selection, a beautifully arranged tasting of seven bite-sized seafood delights, followed by the Roasted Squid Salad – tender squid served over arugula with roasted nuts and capers, absolutely delicious. For our mains, we shared the Sea Makaruni – technically an appetizer, but a must-try signature dish featuring hand-rolled makaruni in a rich cognac shrimp sauce – and a perfectly cooked sea bass fillet with toasted polenta, vegetable ragout, and broccoli purée. We couldn’t resist dessert either: a light citrus meringue with berries and a decadent chocolate cake that blew us away. Each course was paired with exquisite wines from Korčula, the owner’s home island – a lovely personal touch. But honestly, what makes Makarun truly special is the people. Toni’s knowledge and enthusiasm elevated the entire visit. His recommendations, storytelling, and infectious love for great cuisine turned this meal into an experience we’ll never forget. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Split. Highly, highly recommended!

We had the vegetarian 5-course menu, which highlighted food from the restaurant's own garden. It was inventive, varied, and beautifully presented. The accompanying wine pairings proved equally surprising, in a good way. The staff were friendly and accommodating - letting us move to a cooler spot, and doing a great job of combining precision and informality. Highly recommended.

Mixed Experience at a Promising Fine Dining Spot I had high hopes for this restaurant, and while there were definitely some highlights, my personal experience was a bit mixed. The service was truly excellent—attentive, friendly, and very professional—and my friends were all quite happy with their meals. Unfortunately, the dish I ordered, the lamb chop, didn’t quite meet my expectations. The meat was tougher than I anticipated, and the sweet potato served underneath, while interesting, felt a bit too sweet and overpowered the lamb’s flavor. I really appreciated the overall atmosphere and hospitality, but I was hoping for a bit more balance and tenderness in the dish. I would definitely give the restaurant another try, as there’s a lot to like here.

The place was lovely, we had our meal on the terrace. The staff was incredibly attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We ordered the vegan dishes. The lasagna was good, melting in the mouth, but the portion was small, understandably so given the setting. Still, I’m not sure it was worth €34… The beetroot tartare was quite standard. The dessert, however, was absolutely delicious, a real highlight for us. We also really enjoyed the wine and the olive bread with olive oil. Thank you for offering plant-based options!
