Zap Kitchen & Bar
About This Spot
Nestled gently along Mažuranićevo šetalište in Split, Zap Kitchen & Bar welcomes you with the understated charm of a neighborhood retreat where the pace is intentionally unhurried and every moment feels genuine. Step inside, and there’s a comforting mix of local warmth and modern ease — the kind of place where conversations drift easily and the familiar hum of good company fills the air.
The atmosphere here strikes a balance between relaxed and attentive, inviting you to linger over plates that speak the language of thoughtful simplicity. Whether you arrive early for a breakfast that arrives fresh and thoughtfully composed or later to share in dishes that celebrate the harmony of traditional flavors with a contemporary touch, there’s a quiet generosity to both portions and service. The room is often accompanied by a carefully curated soundtrack, adding a subtle backdrop that feels almost like a shared secret among friends.
Zap’s culinary offerings unfold naturally through the experience — hearty breakfasts with slices of rustic bread on the side, vibrant toasts smashed with creamy avocado, or warm, comforting courses that recall home while still introducing a spark of surprise. Each dish reveals itself as a part of a narrative where freshness and care take center stage, much like the welcoming smiles and genuine interest from the staff who know how to strike the right balance between attentive and unobtrusive.
Here, the food and the moment meld effortlessly. The flavors linger pleasantly, much like the memories made in this inviting corner of Split — a place cherished by locals for its authenticity and embraced by visitors yearning to taste a slice of everyday Croatian life without rush or pretense.

Yummy breakfast options. Relatively affordable prices for Europe. Friendly staff who checked in regularly with us during the service :) portions are quite big and they serve bread on the side. So suggest to share if you’re not a big eater

Loved this place! Had our first meal after arriving since our airbnb was closeby and we enjoyed every bit! You gave our first impresion of the city and it was 10/10! Very friendly service and also food was really good (and with fair prices and portions!). Big shout out to whoever choosed the music that day! All in all, would definitely come here again when I'm back in Split and also highly recommend it!

A local delight. Ordered the beef soup, veal, risotto and fried chicken breasts. The bread taste wonderful with olive oil and a bit of salt. The veal was soft and tender. Service was personal and excellent.

5 stars for this restaurant where we had two breakfasts. Lunch also available. 8€ for a full breakfast, very good coffees! Small breakfast menu, but everything freshly prepared. Very friendly waiters compared to many other restaurants in town. The atmosphere is a mix of local and modern. A favorite for this slightly off-center address, I highly recommend it!

An absolute must for authentic Croatian cooking. We are big foodies and this is the best meal we had in Split! Very reasonably priced also.

Lovely little eatery with fantastic, friendly service. Had the cod croquette (i think) for starter, which was yummy and the tuna with gnocchi for main, the tuna was so tender. Also was served bread for accompaniment which was lovely when eaten with olive oil.

Great local restaurant with tasty food, friendly and quick service and lots of space to sit. I’ve come here 3 times now, twice for breakfast and once for lunch. Their breakfast prices are very reasonable, with a variety of items on the menu like eggs Benedict, croquet Madame, big breakfast, omelette and fruit & granola. I’ve tried the croq Madame, eggs Benedict, tuna sandwich and big zap breakfast so far and every has been very delicious. For lunch i tried the sarma (stuffed cabbage leaves with meat) and they came with mash potatoes. This was fantastic, so hearty and such a big portion. For drinks their decaf cappuccino is great and their thick hot chocolate is super delicious and sweet. Waiters speak really good English, menus can be in English and you can pay with card or cash. Really recommend supporting this lovely local place.
