Chef
Mario Mandarić is a young Croatian chef and one of the most promising representatives of the new generation in European gastronomy. Born in Split and raised in Omiš, he built his culinary experience in some of the world’s most renowned restaurants, including the prestigious The Fat Duck.

Our restaurant’s philosophy
Our philosophy is rooted in top-tier French bistronomy — a concept that blurs the line between haute cuisine and relaxed elegance. Under the leadership of chef Mario Mandarić, ONYX²⁸ develops a distinctive signature that celebrates technique, structure, and depth of flavor. Each dish is conceived as a composition: balanced, aesthetically refined, and executed with near-architectural precision. Fine dining, for us, is not a form — it is an emotion. It is an experience that transcends expectations.
