Dalmatian Tradition, Contemporary Technique
The kitchen starts from Dalmatian fundamentals: fresh fish, local produce and the natural rhythm of the seasons. Chef Stjepan Vukadin uses modern technique to sharpen flavour and refine texture, while keeping each ingredient clearly recognisable on the plate. Expect Mediterranean dishes that feel precise and authentic rather than overworked. Wine pairings are built to match, with Croatian labels playing a leading role alongside the menu’s land-and-sea character.
Guest Chefs, Wineries and Festivals
Beyond regular service, il Ponte hosts guest-chef evenings and winery collaboration dinners that bring chefs and producers together around shared ideas and bold flavours. The team also takes part in gastronomy festivals and international events, using those platforms to represent contemporary Dalmatian cuisine and keep the dialogue moving. These nights are about exchange, not ego: new menus, new bottles, and a room full of people who care about the craft.
Old Town Energy
il Ponte sits at the edge of Trogir’s UNESCO-protected old town, overlooking the sea canal and the bridge that connects past and present. From the terrace you look out to stone streets, the water, and landmarks such as St Mark’s Tower. The location feels lively, but not chaotic: you get the real Mediterranean rhythm, the light off the sea, and the slow flow of the city, without the pressure of mass tourism.
Three Ways to Dine
The restaurant is built for atmosphere. There’s an elegant main hall, a glazed outdoor terrace for sea views, and a spacious summer courtyard that becomes the heart of the evening. For something more intimate, a selection of seats sits below sea level, creating a tucked-away feel that’s hard to forget. Wherever you sit, the experience stays consistent: warm welcome, precise plates, and a setting that does half the talking.
Stay at il Ponte House
il Ponte also offers six four-star accommodation units in the centre of Trogir, designed with modern comfort inside and the city’s UNESCO character on the outside. Rooms are fully equipped and some offer views towards the cathedral and Kamerlengo Fortress, making it easy to turn dinner into a full, effortless stay.
“At il Ponte our cuisine is a bridge connecting Dalmatia’s land and sea, tradition and the present moment.”
