Split Restaurant Guide

Hoba, Croatian for “small octopus”, is the latest inspiration of Jure Šundov and his talented Japan trained chef to create an intimate bistro with a carefully curated fusion menu of local and Japanese style cuisine, like dashi risotto, sashimi and nigiri and other delicacies that combine the freshest local Adriatic seafood with outstanding Dalmatian produce. 

For starters we loved their deeply-marinated (Savur style) bluefish with wine. If you’re as hooked on seafood as we are, go for a main course of fresh tuna sashimi and various nigiri. Beef? Their grilled local filet mignon is perfect—and that carrot cake with an orange gelee is out of this world. With just 26 seats, from brunch to late night dinner, Hoba is a real find!
