Pelegrini

Address Jurja Dalmatinca 1, 22000 Šibenik

The most decorated restaurant on the Croatian coast outside of Istria, holding a Michelin star since 2017. Chef Rudolf Štefan cooks modern Dalmatian — local lamb, Adriatic fish, Pag cheese, foraged herbs — with the technical precision of a French kitchen. The wine list is one of the best for Croatian indigenous varieties.

The restaurant occupies a fifteenth-century Gothic palace on the steps leading directly up to the cathedral; tables on the terrace look at the great west façade. Expect to spend at least €100 a head for the tasting menu and reserve well in advance, particularly in summer. There is a sister wine bar a few doors down for a less formal evening.
