Get to know me better

I really love to eat!

My name is Jolanda Vitaljić.

I am Dalmatian, born and bred, raised on fresh sardines and leafy greens.

I fled motherland to study philosophy at the University of Zagreb.

After a deep and meaningful affair with Kant I realized there was no bread to be earned in philosophy (and I really love bread) so I went back to the island of Vis, where I had spent my childhood and learned how to clean fish.

There I started my adventures in professional cooking, it was 19 years ago. Last 8 years I run the kitchen of one of Split's premier Dalmatian restaurants. It's time for something new!

This was an incredible experience! Jolanda and her husband were the dream team and put together an amazing dinner experience. Her passion and appreciation for food was evident through her meticulously crafted dishes including homemade bread and chicken that came from her neighbor. Every dish was delicious, and we were even able to keep the leftovers to enjoy again the next day! Jolanda was also extremely kind and accommodating to me and my party, who were running late. She adjusted our meal time without any trouble, which I really appreciated. 100% would recommend!!! :)

Our dinner with Jolanda was amazing! Her and her husband were very nice, clean, and great to talk with. They were very knowledgeable about the food and facts about the area of Split. The dinner tasted incredible and she went above and beyond to add a few extra local goodies to our menu. I highly recommend booking Jolanda for a meal. We hope to make it to one of her cooking classes next time we visit!

Dinner was very,very good. Over all we can highly recomend Jolanda’s dinner experience

We cannot say enough good things about Chef Jolanda. She and her husband prepared an amazing meal with incredible wine pairings. They were funny and engaging and truly one of the most memorable parts of our time in Croatia. I highly, highly recommend their services.

Very good introduction to Dalmatian cuisine! We had vegan and meat items because there were 14 of us. I believe we had 7 or 8 courses of wonderful appetizers and main dishes with homemade ice cream to top it off. Everyone was so pleased, Bravo Jolanda!!

Jolanda participated in the dinner in an engaging and professional way, which raised quality and well-being in general for all. everyone had a great food experience to take on in life and we will use the service again.

Jolanda brought us an incredible meal and left the kitchen spotless afterwards! Thank you we had a great evening!

This was an absolutely amazing experience filled with fantastic food, lovely conversation, stories and instant friendship. Words simply cannot describe how lovely of an evening we had.
