Zoi | Split, Croatia
IVICA KATIĆ EXECUTIVE CHEF
Ivica Katić chose his life path at a very young age. His favorite childhood activity was cooking with his family and playing in the kitchen. As a young man Ivica chased the knowledge around the world, striving to learn, to gain experience and grow. He enjoyed immersing himself in many different cuisines; experiencing different cultures, tastes and techniques.
Today with more than 10 years of chef experience Ivica is still in search of excellence. His respect for produce and nature drives his every day. His food is a reflection of his character and his experience. Even though his favorite is still the local cuisine and his focus the Mediterranean, little twists and touches are present everywhere on his plate.
ABOUT ZOI
“ We created a unique experience in a 1700-year-old setting where history, passion and food come together. Our cooking represents an authentic mix of rich Mediterranean cuisines infused with a taste of history. For more than a thousand years, kings, solders, merchants, and slaves came and left their mark on life (ZOI – the Greek word for life). Life in Split was shaped through time by these cultures and individuals, and through our food, we hope to tell their story.
ZOI is a place to explore a world of senses. A place where music, conversations and the city sounds melt perfectly together while comfortably lounged on our terrace, with a glass of rare wine, and gentle summer breeze kisses.
We strive to achieve and maintain such distinction in food, wine, service, atmosphere and setting that our restaurant gains a first-class reputation for gastronomy, gracious and informed hospitality, comfort and beauty.
We live to exceed your expectations and surprise your senses.”
