Six beautiful terrace dining options in Dalmatia

"Standing right next to St James’ Cathedral in the heart of the old town, Villa Pelegrini-Tambača is the setting for this restaurant, which showcases local produce in its top-quality cuisine. Dining here is a very special experience, as Pelegrini is considered to be one of the most interesting gourmet restaurants in the region – it also boasts superb views of the cathedral from its terrace. The menu varies depending on the seasons and focuses on regional ingredients sourced from small-scale local producers. Dishes range from fish and seafood options such as mussels, oysters, sea snails, sea urchins, the catch of the day, and monkfish tripe, to meat dishes such as lamb, veal, beef cheeks and the restaurant’s famous “pasta with duck”, in which pieces of slow-cooked duck are served with a creamy pecorino sauce, confit duck breast and slices of celery that add a fresh and acidic flavour to the dish." - Sarah Scaparone
