These are some of our favorite places:

Restaurants

Upcafe

This is our favorite place. It is managed by the same team as Makrovega. The quality and service are on a high level as well and the staff is very kind and friendly. To experience the full richness of choice be sure to come between breakfast and lunch. There are many options here to choose from like sandwiches, burritos, pizzas, amazing plant-based and vegetarian desserts, main courses like their delicious Protein meal with tempeh, seitan, and tofu, swiss chard, and millet.

Visit their website on www.upcafe.hr for more info.

Vege

It is located in the center of town, just next to the green market. This is a small place where you can sit for a quick bite or you can order a takeaway and sit by the seaside just a couple of minutes from here. They have vegetables, basmati rice, whole-grain pasta, veggie burgers, soy steak, tofu and seitan sandwiches, burritos, pancakes, fruit salads, juices, and ice tea. It is open from late April until late September.

Here is a map so you can find it easily.

Superfood healthy food factory

Newly opened place in Split. It operates in two locations, one in the very center, and the other one in Split 3. It is not 100% plant-based because they have fish options, but the rest of the selection is pretty good. They offer raw cakes, pancakes, sandwiches, main courses, salads, desserts, breakfast, smoothies, and juices.

Matoni

Another non-plant-based place but we thought it deserves to be included because they have plant-based and gluten-free options, like lentil muffins, a salad made with peanuts and dried pears, other plant-based salads, home-made green pasta, and some plant-based desserts.
