Where to Eat in Trogir: A Local’s Guide to the Best Restaurants
Trogir may be a small medieval gem tucked between Šibenik and Split, but when it comes to dining, it punches well above its weight. If you’re looking to dive into authentic Croatian flavors, Trogir is one of the best places along the Adriatic coast to do so.
What makes this charming town stand out? Despite its modest size, Trogir boasts a remarkable concentration of eateries, from fine dining establishments to cozy spots serving hearty traditional dishes. And here’s the secret: in many major tourist destinations, savvy travelers are always on the hunt for “hidden gems”—those local favorites that aren’t on the tourist map but serve food that’s truly exceptional. In Trogir, however, you’ll find locals and visitors alike dining side by side in the same spots, meaning every restaurant is a potential hit.
So, whether you’re craving a Michelin-worthy meal or a simple plate of freshly caught seafood, you’re guaranteed a top-notch experience. We’ve compiled a list of the best restaurants in Trogir—places where you can enjoy unforgettable meals, no matter your taste or budget.

Vrata o Grada. Located on the main promenade next to the Gate of the town (literally Vrata o grada means „Gate of the town“). We recommend this restaurant for a breakfast – what can be better in the morning than having your coffee and omelette with a picturesque view? They have rich breakfasts, including super food ones (acai bowl). However, dinner and lunch there can also surprise you in a good way.

Caffes/Bars/Coffee places
Disclaimer: Most of coffee places are turning into bars even before the sun goes down =)
Corte bar. The main square one. Coffee with sun rays and evening cocktails. Something like in Venice, something like in Rome. The main square is the main magical spot in the town, take a seat and one of Muses will visit you ASAP.
Martinino. It’s the real bar, sometimes people even dance in there. But mostly they drink and talk. During the day you can seat there with a laptop, for the evening – meet locals and chill with your friends.
Korado. We would describe it in the same way as Martinini. But for evenings on Fridays they have DJ! (nobody is dancing tho).
Smokvica. In Croatian the name means “small figs”. Quiet place to have your own peace.
Tomislav. Next to the fresh market with the channel and bridge view. (Sorry, it’s not Rialto bridge in Venice, but it’s way sunnier and not as busy). Locals like to have a cup of coffee in there after doing grocery. There is a bakery next to Tomislav, where you can buy some pastry and get the perfect breakfast combo.
