Zrno Soli

Restaurant ... ZRNO SOLI was opened on March 1, 2011 and proudly presents Croatian gastronomy in a unique way. It's located on the first floor of the ACI marina Split with a million dollar view of Split, a 1700 years old city. It exudes elegance and warmth and stops time with it's tranquility and the simplicity of a well known Dalmatian style of relaxing. Here, you'll enjoy long summer nights and warm winter rhapsodies by the sea, surrounded by sailboats and clear Adriatic sea.

"Zrno Soli" became a well known place in the first year it opened, and for several years now Zrno Soli is a top destination for all who live, come to or just go trough Split. A lot of famous guests came to Split, a lot of them came back and became good friends, and some of them are - the queen of Denmark, the princess of Thailand, Guns N' Roses, FC Barcelona management, various prime ministers, presidents, stars etc. We received a lot of comments on social media regarding the food, staff and an unforgettable experience in the beautiful ambiance of the ACI marina, Split's sea gem.

Since March 1, 2018 we've been included in the Michelin Guide Croatia for 2018., and have received a recommendation from the world-renowned institution. We're delighted that they recognized and included us in the list for Michelin Guide Croatia for five years in a row. It is also worth noting that we are traditionally included in the Gault & Millau gastronomic guide. Certainly, it gives us the wind in our sails and even bigger motivation and desire to work harder to make our restaurant, but also Split, more famous on the world's gastronomic map. It's a big challenge to keep the recommendation, but also to go a step further towards the first Michelin star. We believe in ourselves, as our guests believe in us.
Proud owner

IVO VRDOLJAK

From the idea to the creation of Zrno Soli, owner Ivo Vrdoljak was lead by one thought - to host and please each guest. The name Zrno Soli, besides salt as an ingredient has a deep meaning. Salt is everywhere around us, salt is life, it's mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew, and life connected to the sea is also connected to salt. His persistance, dedication and great will to run a restaurant created a brand recognized in Croatia but also beyond.

... ZRNO SOLI

Branimir Prnjak born on September 18, 2000. in Split. He graduated from the private Wallner High School, became a chef, and joined the kitchen of the Zrno Soli restaurant immediately after graduation. He is resolute in his statement that already in the first weeks of work at ZS he acquired an enviable level of knowledge, especially the practical one, and proudly points out that among his colleagues he had role models who introduced him in a special way to the world of gastronomy, as he says - the realm of taste and art. He very quickly became convinced and confirmed to himself that he was doing what he loved, and that was an additional pleasure for him. Likewise, he quickly became the first among equals, and after that he became the chef of the Zrno Soli restaurant. Every year he raises new limits, and his and our expectations for 2024 are justifiably high, and the wind at his back is certainly represented by a visit to London at the end of 2023 and a diploma from the school of chef Raymond Blanc after visiting a castle in Oxfordshire, Le Manoir hotel and restaurant. His culinary intoxication should be a guide for everyone. He lives cooking, so it is not surprising the amount of his ideas and new knowledge with which he comes to the restaurant every morning. His passion is something that only the best and the greatest have, so we believe that for our Branimir "only the sky is the limit".
