Fife, Restaurant in Varoš neighborhood, Split, Croatia
Fife is a restaurant in the Varoš neighborhood of Split, Croatia, set along the waterfront road near Matejuška Pier. It occupies two buildings with a terrace, a small indoor area, and a separate dining room with stone walls and wooden benches.
The restaurant opened in the late 1980s and has kept traditional Dalmatian recipes passed down over the years. Over the decades, it became a regular part of daily life in Split for both locals and those passing through.
The restaurant is within easy walking distance of the Riva promenade and the historic center, making it simple to reach on foot. It can get crowded in summer, so arriving early or reserving a table ahead of time helps avoid a wait.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant was known for communal seating where strangers shared the same tables and ate side by side. This practice turned every meal into an unplanned social encounter with whoever happened to sit nearby.
