Fife
Fife (pronounced "fee-fay") is a traditional Croatian restaurant. But it is the most authentic Croatian restaurant in Split. Everything is homemade, even the gnocchi and wine. Fife is a "family-style" restaurant, meaning they bring big bowls and platters of food that you share with the whole table. You can't ever really be sure what they will be serving on a particular day, because they only use what is fresh and in-season in Split at the time.

During the summer, the have octopus salad and plenty of grilled thallasic fishes. During the cooler months you can expect stuffed cabbage and gnocchi with pastizada (a Croatian meat dish, local to Split, slow-cooked in red wine). Everything we have ever had at this restaurant has been good, but you will have to ask what they have on the particular day you are there.

The wine is very cheap but tastes homemade, so if you a wine connoisseur, you may want to get a Croatian beer instead. Overall, the prices at restaurant Fife are very reasonable. You can have a big meal and some wine for under 6 Euros. Our recommendation is to order small portions of lots of different dishes so you can try lots of the different Croatian dishes.

There are two entrances to the restaurant. The old portion of the restaurant is a bit underground. I will warn you, that section is usually only men. It seems almost like a "guys only" thing with the locals. Most of the tourist go to the other entrance, which is actually on the opposite side of the pedestrian street.

The restaurant is located in the former fisher and farmer district. It offers rustic comfort and an excellent selection of Dalmatian dishes. Good price-performance ratio - we recommend to book a table especially when you visit Split in the summer.
