Split Food Tour: Eat, Learn and Have Fun with a Local

What your day looks like

Begin your journey with the soul of Balkan street food: Ćevapi. Savor these juicy, hand-rolled grilled sausages made from a blend of beef and lamb — served hot in soft lepinja bread with raw onions, a dollop of sour cream, and ajvar, the signature roasted red pepper spread of the region. Whether it’s your first taste or a long-time favorite, this beloved street food is both comforting and unforgettable. Then, take a stroll through Split’s historic streets and settle into a cozy konoba to experience the heart of Dalmatian cuisine with Crni Rižot — black risotto from the Adriatic. Its striking color and sea-kissed flavor come from cuttlefish or squid ink, slow-cooked with rice, olive oil, garlic, and local herbs, then finished with lemon and parsley. Each bite connects you to the rhythm of the sea and the coastal traditions of Split. Continue your tasting adventure with Burek, a flaky, golden pastry filled with spiced meat, cheese, or spinach. Found in bakeries across the Balkans, it’s a breakfast favorite and a comforting reminder of shared heritage — crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful within. To end your culinary tour, indulge in traditional Croatian pastries — sweet, handmade, and rooted in centuries of local tradition. These treats capture the warmth and hospitality of Dalmatian culture, offering the perfect farewell to a day rich with flavor, history, and the spirit of Split.
