A Michelin-starred restaurant in a 15th-century stone building with a terrace overlooking Šibenik's Cathedral of St. James (UNESCO). The best restaurant in Central Dalmatia.
Why It Belongs on the List
Pelegrini is the most atmospherically positioned restaurant in Croatia — a 1-Michelin-star dining room in a 15th-century stone house whose terrace faces the Cathedral of St. James, the UNESCO-listed Gothic-Renaissance marvel whose construction spanned 104 years. Chef Rudolf Štefan cooks Central Dalmatian ingredients (lamb from the Dalmatian hinterland, Adriatic shellfish, Šibenik oysters) with contemporary technique in a setting that makes the food feel like a natural extension of the architecture.
