Croatia gets two new Michelin star restaurants in 2025 guide

Croatia now boasts 13 MICHELIN-starred restaurants with the newly released 2025 selection seeing two more Croatian restaurants added to the prestigious list.

Krug in Split and Cap Aureo in Rovinj have both been awarded one MICHELIN star, joining the current group that showcases the very best in Croatian cuisine.

The country’s only restaurant with two MICHELIN stars, Agli Amici in Rovinj, has successfully retained its distinction.

Additionally, 12 restaurants have maintained their one-star status. These are:

Dubravkin put (Zagreb)
Pelegrini (Šibenik)
360º (Dubrovnik)
Monte (Rovinj)
Noel (Zagreb)
Boškinac (Novalja)
LD Restaurant (Korčula)
Nebo (Rijeka)
Alfred Keller (Mali Lošinj)
Korak (Jastrebarsko)

These accolades, awarded by anonymous MICHELIN inspectors, are a testament to the continued rise of Croatia as a premier culinary destination.

Croatia’s commitment to sustainable gastronomy has also been recognised. The MICHELIN Green Star, which highlights restaurants leading the way in environmental practices, has been retained by:

Zinfandel’s (Zagreb)
Konoba Mate (Korčula)
Korak (Jastrebarsko)

The Bib Gourmand list, which rewards restaurants offering quality food at reasonable prices, has also grown.

Two new additions — Konoba Pescaria in Mošćenička Draga and K.užina in Split — bring the total to 12 Bib Gourmand restaurants across the country.

This year’s selection also introduced special individual awards, celebrating talent and service within the hospitality industry:

Young Chef Award: Gabriela Filca, Nebo by Deni Srdoč
Service Award: Vera Korak, Restaurant Korak
Sommelier Award: Dinko Lozica, LD Restaurant

Speaking about the achievement, Croatia’s Minister of Tourism and Sport, Tonči Glavina, said:

“This edition of the MICHELIN Guide confirms the quality and excellence of Croatian chefs, recognised on a global level. Gastronomy plays a vital role in our tourism offer, contributing to the overall experience of our country through its authenticity and richness.”

Kristjan Staničić, Director of the Croatian National Tourist Board, added:
