December 9, 2019 - A closer look at the unique eats in Split for this winter’s Advent festivities. 

The winter season is as much about the food as it is about celebrating the holidays or embracing the colder weather. It is a time when we can get creative with hearty dishes and hot drinks without worrying about having to show any skin… because our thick winter wear will hide any sight of our well-fed bellies. 

Thus, this winter in Split, a selection of local restaurants, bars, and holiday houses on the Riva and Dardin have crafted unique takes on classic winter cuisine to dress up the Dalmatian capital’s offer this offseason. 

Like Split pub Black Dog, who you can find out on the Riva this winter, offering chili dogs and Hawaiian dogs with pineapple jam and peppers to Irish goulash made with Guinness. 

Right next door to Black Dog on the Riva is Toto's Burger Bar, who is also serving up a 'Veli Joze' sausage, a black hot dog, brownies and hot chocolate topped with marshmallows.

At the Advent Fairytale at Paradiso Bar on Marmontova, you can find buffalo wings, veggie spring rolls, mini club sandwiches and a plethora of desserts - from oreo hot chocolate and American donuts to gingerbread cookies and cupcakes. 

D16 at Dardin is serving up cinnamon rolls, oreo donuts and raclette fries, to name a few. 

Don't miss out on the special Advent menus at famous Split restaurants Kinoteka and No Stress, where you can find exotic dishes like chicken tikka masala with naan or pork bao buns, or pig ribs and spicy sausages. 

Year-round favorites Zinfandel Food & Wine Bar and Brasserie on 7 also boast exciting new winter menus, with braised beef ribs, cod and duck! 

Perivoj also does not disappoint this winter, where you can find Croatian Christmas favorites all season long.
