Things move fast in Croatia, and not a day goes by without something new popping up. Every time we return to a town, a new restaurant, bar or cafe seems to be grabbing everyone’s attention, and we can’t help but get caught up in the excitement. Keeping up with the new spots is one of the highlights of this lovely job, so we’ve put together a home for Croatia’s newest establishments. Enjoy!
Soparnik to Go, Zagreb

Recently opened in the centre of Zagreb, Soparnik to Go is offering a dedicated place for one of Dalmatia’s most iconic dishes. Soparnik is a thin savoury pie filled with Swiss chard, garlic and olive oil, traditionally baked on a stone under hot ashes. Here, it’s available by the slice, in take-away packs or as a whole pie, making this authentic, rustic specialty more accessible to the city’s fast-paced lifestyle.

Opened in early October on Poljička Cesta, Allora is a modern Mediterranean brasserie that brings a fresh energy to Split’s dining scene. With a stylish interior by Zarez studio, this space fuses natural materials like wood and stone with glass and soft neutral tones. By day, it serves a creative brunch menu; by night, it transforms into a chic dinner and cocktail destination. Their food concept blends raw-bar delights, reinvented Dalmatian classics, and inventive vegetarian plates.
EmJoy, Rijeka
Ul. Josipa Završnika
EmJoy is the newly opened specialty coffee shop in Rijeka, and it has quickly become a beloved neighborhood café. Founded by trained barista Emilija, the place offers Cogito coffee, matcha, fresh juices from local OPGs, and soon, pastries from a local patisserie. With a warm, inviting vibe and a genuine passion for quality coffee, EmJoy is already making its mark on Rijeka’s café culture.
