Pelegrini and Alfred Keller’s vision for Croatia - ingredients that showcase a culinary passion for the country

"Pelegrini is a Michelin-starred restaurant in Šibenik, Croatia. It is renowned for its commitment to local producers and sustainability, offering a modern interpretation of traditional Dalmatian dishes. The restaurant is also a hub for gastronomic research and hosts the Chefs' Stage project to train young chefs. Under the leadership of Chef Rudolf Štefan, Pelegrini emphasizes the flavors of the region and works closely with local farmers, growers, and fishermen." - La Guida Michelin

"Voted Croatia’s best restaurant several years in a row, Pelegrini is reason enough to visit Šibenik. The talented owner and chef Rudi Štefan continues to raise the bar at this gorgeous spot, which is housed in an ancient palace. In nice weather, book a table on the small terrace with sea views. Once seated, decide how many courses you want—there’s a minimum of three at lunch and five at dinner—then sit back and let the culinary adventure begin. Attentive waiters will bring out beautifully plated dishes celebrating regional flavors with a global spin. Think amberjack tataki, monkfish tripe, beef-cheek pasta, and tongue cubes with breaded sage, all paired with top-notch local wines."

The 5 Best Restaurants in Croatia

"Situated opposite the beautiful cathedral of St. James, this restaurant has a few small tables arranged outside on the steps in summer and is named after the fine old building in which it is housed. The decor here is a light, elegant mix of old and new and the service excellent. 'Rudi' Stefan, the self-taught owner-chef, puts plenty of energy into expressing the best of himself and the region, creating modern meat and fish dishes from top-quality ingredients. The tasting menu allows you to create your own dining experience by choosing the exact number of courses you require and the individual dishes which tempt you." - The MICHELIN Guide
