14. Cantinetta
$$ | |Hidden away in the Skradin Bay, in a quiet location where the fresh waters from Krka National Park flow into the sea, Cantinetta is well recognized among local residents as the best place to eat in Skradin.

Dishes like the renowned veal risotto, which must be slowly cooked for at least six hours and whose actual recipe is a family secret, must be ordered well in advance. For a light dish, try skradinske ćokalice, tiny fish which have a particular taste because of the combination of salt and fresh waters in which they live. Fresh seafood and great meat dishes at reasonable prices make this an easy choice after a long day sightseeing.
