Today, Pelegrini is far more than a restaurant. Nestled in the very heart of Šibenik, beside the Cathedral of St. James, it provides a comprehensive gastronomic experience where setting, history, and flavour merge into one cohesive entity. Local ingredients and authentic tastes are the foundation of Pelegrini’s cuisine and the core of the culinary philosophy of the chef Rudolf Štefan, one of the key figures of modern Dalmatian gastronomy.
