    Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience and is always ready to help. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted was perfect. This plate of mixed fish and sea food was more then enough for two people. Fresh fishes, prawns and squids served well fried and tasty. We ordered tatar sauce which was ideal to this dish. You can tell that all ingredients are high quality. Highly recommend!

    From the first moment we felt welcome. Our waitress was polite and very helpful. Fried calamari was really good and tasty (unfortunately it's also very oily dish). On the other hand interior is rather dated, including the toilet. I think in its own category this place is quite good, though. Just don't expect anything fancy.

    Excellent food, great value, made us feel at home, good variety of seafood fresh from the fish market next door. We ended up eating here 3 times during our stay and have tried most things in the menu. Maybe add oysters to the menu and we might come back for it. 😁

    There are few tables available, the staff is really helpful and polite. You can tell this is a local restaurant. The food is of excellent quality and is quickly prepared. The fried calamari was delicious, a bit oily but that's fine. This location is fairly good right in the center. There's the fish market next to the restaurant. The local beer there is also recommended!

    This is in my opinion the best place to try local fish. It's delicious and not expensive, impossible to don't like it. You sometimes have to wait a little bit before having a table.

    Great food, it doesn’t look like it from outside, but it’s amazing and for a good price. The place only receive cash, so be aware of that. There can be a queue but we ate around 18-19 and is wasn’t to bad. Later were a long queue.

    Delicios sea food plate for 2 people including variety of fish, shrimp, squids. Recommending it to anyone, as the prices are more than acceptable. :) Only cash payment! There could have been some tables outside as the inside room is not so big.

    100% worth it! €15 fried calamari + €12 fried calamari including small fish. It was delicious and tasted really fresh! Not rubbery at all. Portions were generous. We were very hungry so ordered quite a lot. For a small eater, I would recommend to start with sharing 1 plate and get some extra fries and sauces (like mayo and tartar). Maybe get extra after you’ve finished the first. White house wine is also one of the more tastier we’ve had here. It had a smooth taste instead of tasting sour and cheap. Interior is a bit outdated but feels authentic. Waitress was really friendly. They only take cash. And have shorter opening hours in off-season. We went in the beginning of november and they were open from 6:00-15:00h. We tasted more fried squid during our trip in Split but this one was definitely the tastiest and had the best value. Highly recommend!

    Great basic seafood. Tasted fresh and simple but still enjoyable. Unfortunately there is very limited space - 5 tables outside for max 2 persons and 3 tables inside for more people. You cannot also pay buy card but waitress informs about it before you order so it’s fair. Prices are good, I would even say that are smaller than in other similar places. —- I need to update my opinion after second visit. We were able to also try shrimps and oh my gosh it was incredibly delicious and the plate was huge. We also tried squid sandwich and, again - delicious as hell! Be sure to be in the morning so they still have all the sea food available. This restaurants beets the others - and it’s prices are really great value.

    Real hidden gem near the Riva. Seafoods are fresh and so delicious. French fries are crispy and very tasty too. Nice and friendly service. Prices are democratic enough. I have visited Zlatna Ribica few times already and every time met someone from regular visitors. Because this place is definitely where you will want to return.

    Enjoyed a nice lunch here. We got the fried mixed fish for two. Calamari was our favorite, the rest was pretty average, but price was good and wine serving was generous. Cash only place.

    This is a small, cozy restaurant with amazing fish dishes. Try the squid, it's really good. It's often busy, so you might have to wait, but it's worth it

    Glad we have our dinner there. Good food, fast service and friendly staffs. Affordable price. Limited choice of menu, mostly fried food. There is a queue waiting for tables.

  • 5/5 Viggo S. 6 months ago on Google • 66 reviews
    Small place in the middle of old town, pretty anonymous. It felt very authentic and the food was great. We had the mixed fish with 3 different fishes and squid. The prices was good and staff friendly!

  • 5/5 A J. 7 months ago on Google • 60 reviews
    Cash only and be prepared to queue, it's a tiny restaurant but does have air con. It's worth the wait. Fresh fish, cooked perfectly, lovely service from the two ladies who were working. Very decent prices. If I was in Split for longer I'd eat here every day. I'm thinking I'll have lunch here tomorrow before flying home. [edit - I did have lunch here on my last day in Split - and it was excellent]

  • 5/5 NAYANA U. 7 months ago on Google • 34 reviews
    For a change I'm posting a picture of our empty plates because the food was so good. We visited this place in the afternoon and as a result skipped the long evening queues. The service is fast and prompt. The food is value for money. The only drawback is they accept only cash. Try the fish food platter for 2- which has all fresh catch of the day. You'll not be disappointed with this place.

  • 4/5 Aj S. 1 year ago on Google
    Only a few varieties of dish, but it is enough for a casual lunch or dinner 😊 Recommend to order fried mixed plate for 2 as there are 2 types of fish, shrimp, and squid. The batter could be better, but overall, it is nice. The price is also friendly as well. The waiters are nice as well 👍

  • 4/5 Tal L. 2 years ago on Google
    The fried prawns were fantastic. Very good price to quality ratio. Calamari wasn't so great. They were out of fries - big deal in my opinion. *CASH ONLY*

  • 5/5 pauline 2 years ago on Google
    This place is absolutely amazing! Not only it’s delicious but also Angela (aka Kwala 🙃) who works there is super kind. We loved it so much we went multiple times and even order takeaway for our lunch At the airport!! Plus the price are super reasonable. An absolute must when in Split.

  • 5/5 Mike L. 2 years ago on Google
    Zlatna Ribica is always a great place to grab a cheap seafood meal. Food is fresh, cooked quickly, and staff are friendly! Be aware, it is a cash only establishment

    It's quite a small, but really tasty place. The waitress is really friendly and nice. Wanted to go again but it's unfortunately closed on Sunday. Next time!

  • 5/5 Arash T. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a wonderful seafood plate here today (20th Sep) and %100 will go back again to try their squeed. Limited table but staff are so helpful and friendly. Food is very good quality and gets ready so quickly.

  • 5/5 Mariia S. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place with fresh seafood near the seafood market. Small red fish and fried calamari are perfect. The price is less than in the another touristic places in the centre of city. Not too much place inside, but for us this is not a problem. Good choice to try fresh fish and seafood

  • 5/5 Todd B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorites in Split. When I have the mixed fish platter here I know I am "back home" in Split! It's family run and service with a smile. Give them a go and you won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Clau E. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food! The squid sandwich is super delicious! The service is great! Owners are very friendly. Draft beer is good and at a good price, this a traditional place in a tourist area! Worth to visit!

    Tasty outside and inside serving of local fish, enjoyable atmosphere around the main fish market. Very reasonable prices.

    The fish was good, although the menu is very limited. Staff was also great, thank you for the recommendations.

  • 5/5 Elliot M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a fantastic experience. Shared the mixed fish for two ~ 130kn, great value, fresh fish with lovely shrimp. Our waitress (sorry idk your name, young lady) was lovely. 10/10

  • 5/5 phyziks09 9 months ago on Google
    Come here for great seafood! We got mixed fried fish for 2. Was sardines, anchovies, squid, and shrimp. Also, a friendly neighborhood cat was around which was nice

  • 5/5 Anna G. 9 months ago on Google
    I fully recommend Zlatana Ribica . During my 4 day’s stay in Split I’ve been eating there every day. Family atmosphere and delicious food. I’m so happily that I found this place. It’s true food made with love and tradition.

  • 5/5 Lilian P. 10 months ago on Google
    A nice discovery! We were looking for a place where to eat as a local and found this cozy restaurant. The fish its really tasty and fresh. The squid sandwich was delicious. The mix fish very tasty. Price ok. Very fast service and staff very kind :) highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Daniel G. 1 year ago on Google
    Zlatna Ribica is this traditional tavern which transport you to their local culture. Their mix fried fish dish is exquisite and enough for two people eating. Their prices are more than affordable and the service is super gently and welcoming!

  • 5/5 Teri A. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing!!! The fried fish platter is to die for, highly recommend. Prices fabulous and the staff is nice. We had beer and fish, a great lunch! Will totally be back, this place is a gem 😍 Great on and off-season!!!

  • 5/5 Trunks T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great find here very authentic and delicious food. The lady who served us was warm, friendly and welcoming and explained the menu to us. We ordered the platter for 2 and the portion size was perfect and the price was really cheap. The seafood is so fresh as they buy it from the market the same morning. The best prawns we’ve had and I don’t usually eat prawns

  • 5/5 Gulrez Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Great fish only restaurant in the centre. Good price to quality/portion ratio. It's cash only and few tables. Try lunch a bit early as there are few tables and crowds at lunch queues for dinner. Prices are 50 -100 kuna, you can get mixed platters with fish, prawns, calamari. The calamari sandwich at 50 kuna is great on the go, it's light but filling. There is a toilet and the waitresses are friendly and helpful 🙂
