The story
Il Ponte sits at the edge of Trogir's historic centre, a restaurant that takes its name from the bridge connecting the old town to the mainland. The name mirrors the kitchen's philosophy: a bridge between tradition and innovation.
The kitchen focuses on Mediterranean cuisine, drawing on the vibrant flavours of the Adriatic and the Dalmatian hinterland. Seasonal ingredients take centre stage, with dishes that honour classic recipes while adding a contemporary, creative touch. The result is a menu that feels both rooted and fresh.
Alongside the food, the restaurant offers an extensive wine list featuring over 70 Croatian labels. From coastal whites to robust reds from inland regions, the selection is a curated tour of the country's wine-growing areas. Guests can explore lesser-known producers or stick with staples, all guided by a knowledgeable team.
In 2026, Il Ponte earned a Michelin recommendation, a nod to its consistent execution and thoughtful approach. The recognition reflects the restaurant's commitment to sourcing well, cooking cleanly, and letting the Mediterranean ingredients speak.
The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, with air conditioning inside and a pleasant terrace for warmer evenings. Private parties and catering are available, and the space is wheelchair accessible. Vegetarian options are also part of the menu.
Il Ponte is a place that lets the food and wine do the talking – straightforward, seasonal, and grounded in the flavours of the Croatian coast.
