Last year, Krug Restaurant entered the Michelin Guide directly with a Michelin star, the first ever for Split — and after experiencing it personally, it is easy to understand why. A fascinating selection of ingredients, bold and intelligent flavour combinations, an excellent atmosphere, and the feeling that every detail has been carefully considered create an experience that truly completes the circle (krug) — a circle of taste, flavour, aroma, emotion and memory.
Krug is not just a restaurant. It is the gastronomic story Split deserved.
Bravo to the entire team — every compliment is more than well earned.
