Dining
Pelegrini
In the heart of the old town, the restaurant occupies Villa Pelegrini-Tambača, a Renaissance palazzo situated next to the Cathedral of St. James. Chef Rudolf Štefan, deeply knowledgeable about the region, distinguishes himself through constant pursuit of local products: he collaborates with top winemakers for exclusive wine production, makes his own olive oil, and prioritizes land and sea ingredients from Šibenik and its surroundings. Two tasting menus of four and six courses offer a modern reinterpretation of traditional Dalmatian cuisine with creative touches and refined presentations. Among
WebsiteKonoba Vinko
A beautiful, cosy, well-run country tavern that has stood out for its excellent value for money for many years. The menu focuses on earthy cuisine, where meat is the absolute protagonist: straightforward, flavourful and hearty dishes, including the suckling pig, served in generous portions. Despite fair prices, quality remains high and uncompromising. In warm weather you can eat outdoors in a lovely outdoor seating area, but reservations are recommended. A perfect stop for those seeking authenticity and taste.
