Gault&Millau's review 2026

Anyone who has had the opportunity to visit Prslika on the island of Zlarin has returned with many compliments for the ambiance, the atmosphere, the hospitality and, above all, the excellent food in this beautiful tavern that, as they say, offers a rustic experience. And their rusticity, to which we would add the adjective refined, starts with the space itself. A 5-minute walk from the beach, there is the beautiful terrace of the tavern, surrounded by the Mediterranean vegetation and old stone walls, with wooden tables under the canopy of a large, century-old olive tree, and many smaller olive trees peeking through the surface of the tables. Their rusticity continues in the kitchen, with respect for traditional Dalmatian dishes and local, first-class ingredients. What makes them special is the creativity in preparing the food and the attractive presentation of the dishes. Attention is paid to every detail, every plate and bowl in which they serve the food. Be sure to try their octopus, tuna and squid carpaccio. You will feel the smells and tastes of the sea in every bite. If instead of grilled fish - always fresh and baked over a fire made of six different types of wood, which gives it a unique flavour - you want something different, choose the calamari stuffed with mussels, prawns, cheese and sage, served with green bean and fennel cream. Juicy and tender, they will delight you. At the end, take their classic figs cooked in Prošek (the Dalmatian sweet wine) with mascarpone cream and sprinkled with peeled almonds. On the wine there is a selection of mostly regional labels, but they have also couple of champagnes. If you are in Šibenik, you should not miss Prslika, a magical Dalmatian oasis of authentic food and exquisite hospitality.
