Matija Bregeš: Innovator of Pag’s Culinary Identity
At Boškinac, chef Matija Bregeš transforms the unique ingredients of Pag Island into bold, modern plates that honour local heritage. With a Michelin star and the title of “Great Chef of Tomorrow” from Gault&Millau, his expertise shines in every detail. Bregeš’s experience in world-renowned kitchens like Geranium and Azurmendi shapes his creative touch, blending the traditions of Pag with cutting-edge techniques. Through two tasting menus, he captures the island’s essence—one rooted in its natural bounty, the other inspired by his own culinary journey. Every dish reflects a perfect balance of artistry, passion, and innovation.
“My goal is to give every guest a taste of Pag—its land, sea, and history—through unexpected combinations and the beauty of simplicity.”

Boškinac, together with its cuisine, is the result of many years of exploration of the island of Pag and its rich palette of colours, aromas, and flavours. The kitchen works exclusively with local ingredients, and each taste is a reinterpretation of the island’s gastronomic heritage. These flavours are technically transformed through modern culinary methods, yet always remain faithful to their original organoleptic character.
