Chef Bartol Stegić
Meet Chef Bartol
Born and raised in Tisno, chef Bartol Stegić began his culinary journey long before stepping into the world of professional kitchens.
Growing up alongside his grandmother’s cooking and surrounded by generations of devoted Dalmatian people, he developed a deep appreciation for the ingredients and traditions that define Adriatic cuisine. Harvesting ingredients at the peak of their ripeness and gathering fresh seafood from the Adriatic Sea shaped his earliest connection with food. These formative experiences became the foundation of a philosophy that remains at the heart of his cuisine today.
The experience gained in Michelin-starred kitchens brought chef Bartol discipline, precision and a contemporary approach to cooking. He developed his culinary knowledge through French, Italian and Austrian culinary traditions, which he now naturally blends with Croatian culinary heritage, creating a cuisine that is modern in execution while deeply rooted in tradition.
Based on the island of Murter, chef Bartol creates bespoke culinary experiences, from sea to land, across the Dalmatian coast, the Adriatic Sea and mainland Croatia. Each menu is thoughtfully crafted around the preferences of the guest and the character of the occasion. Whether it is an intimate dinner in the privacy of your home, an unforgettable fine dining experience aboard a charter yacht, or a business event, every gathering receives a final touch that leaves a lasting impression and creates memories guests continue to share.
