Experiences

At ZOI, dinner is designed as a sequence of moments rather than a single meal, from a full seven-course journey to a 3 course shorter night.

A generous, emotion-driven menu inspired by ancient feasts and celebratory tables, echoing the history of Diocletian's Palace in contemporary plates.

Terrace & Palace Setting

Framed by palm trees, harbor lights and the timeworn stone of Diocletian's Palace, ZOI's terrace is one of the most coveted dinner tables in Split. It sits just above the Riva promenade, close enough to feel the city's pulse yet elevated into its own, more intimate world.

Historical and modern

Inside, vaulted stone, curated lighting and thoughtful details continue the story of the palace's 1,700-year-old walls. The space can host both romantic tables for two and private or semi-private gatherings for more than twelve guests.

Cuisine & Chef

The kitchen at ZOI treats Mediterranean cuisine as a living language—rooted in the Adriatic and open to the influences that have shaped Split over centuries. Plates balance clarity and surprise: pristine seafood, carefully aged meats, vegetables in starring roles, all plated with a calm, modern elegance.

Guided by our chef Alberto Garcia Perez, the menu shifts with the seasons and the markets, but always keeps its focus on depth of flavor, texture and a sense of place.

Wine & Pairings

The wine list brings together sought-after Croatian labels and international classics, with pairings designed to follow the rhythm of the tasting menus. Guests may choose a curated pairing with ECHO or TERRA, or explore the cellar bottle by bottle with the sommelier's guidance.
