Downtown Grill Split steak & seafood
About This Spot
Stepping into Downtown Grill Split steak & seafood feels like finding a hidden nook where the heart of Split’s vibrant culinary culture quietly hums. Nestled just off the main streets near the old Hajduk Split stadium, this spot welcomes you with a warm, unhurried rhythm — a place where chatter blends effortlessly with the scent of open fire grilling and the soft clinking of glasses.
The atmosphere is comfortably grounded, neither flashy nor overly formal, striking a balance between approachable family warmth and the calm attentiveness of a fine dining experience. It’s a gathering place where locals and visitors alike savor the simple joy of a thoughtfully prepared meal, paired with casual, friendly service that makes you feel recognized without ceremony.
Here, the menu unfolds like a story of the Adriatic and the land beyond. You might find yourself sharing a plate of grilled octopus, charred to smoky perfection, or delighting in the satisfying richness of a tomahawk steak, the way its flavors speak to slow, patient cooking over coals. Seafood is never just seafood here; it’s an invitation to explore the freshness of the nearby sea, whether through a colorful mixed grill or the gentle, flaky tenderness of freshly caught fish. And for those seeking something lighter or vegetarian, the offerings reflect the same careful attention, proving that thoughtful grilling can be inclusive as well as indulgent.
What truly lingers beyond taste is the relaxed attention of the staff, whose warmth adds a human layer to every visit. The subtle familiarity from the team — seasoned and sincere — invites you to linger longer, share stories, and feel connected to the neighborhood’s spirited pulse.
Downtown Grill Split is more than a meal; it’s a pause where the everyday meeting the extraordinary around a table feels effortless. Whether ending a day exploring Split’s old town or simply craving the comfort of fire-kissed flavors, this spot offers a genuine, unpretentious experience — a moment marked by good food, steady company, and a sense of place that stays with you.

We found this nice place next to city centre.This grill place has to offer some nice grill dishes. We had tuna steak, hake fish file, ribeye steak and Čevapi. We were all pleased. With food, and more so we were offered some Honey spirit similar to mead on the house. It was awesome lunch. And waiter was very nice and friendly. If you are around city centre and want some grill, this place is a must.

We had only fish food. Very well served . Good service with visible experience . Even though it is located on the side of the street it has its own atmosphere. Cody place to rest and have good food after visiting old town of Split. Fully recommended.

Great fish and meat meals. Local experience next to old Hajduk Split stadium "Stari plac". The waiter Frane made our experience even better, great service from him.

What a lovely place. We had a sharing mixed grill which had everything you needed. The meat was perfect as were the fries and vegetables. The service was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend. It's our last day in Split so unfortunately we won't be able to go back. Definitely worth a visit as the prices are very reasonable

The food was excellent (we tried both the meat and the sea-food platters) and the service was really warm and friendly. You are invited to start the course with some local made grappa, which we found delicious.
