Pelegrini.

Occupying a 14th-century palazzo directly across from the Cathedral of St. James, Pelegrini is the culinary anchor of Šibenik. Chef-owner Rudolf Štefan has built a hyper-local ecosystem where the kitchen team harvests their own olives for oil and collaborates directly with regional producers. The menu is a sophisticated reinterpretation of Dalmatian history—blending Venetian and Austro-Hungarian influences—delivered through a flexible tasting format where guests select four courses from a larger seasonal list. Signature dishes like the duck pasta with pecorino sauce showcase a focus on depth and acidity. While the stone-walled interior is intimate, the terrace, built over four historic wells, offers the premier experience. With a 500-label cellar and a hands-on service style, it remains a destination for serious gastronomy on the Adriatic coast.
