Gault&Millau's review 2026

Dukat is one of the recognizable gastronomic landmarks in Pirot, offering local specialties with a few intriguing twists. Located just a short walk from the city center, the restaurant welcomes you with a level of expertise that feels like a personal guided tour of the region’s bounty. The choice you make will reflect your affinities and the company you are with. For starters, the legendary Pirot flattened sausage and artisanal sheep‘s cheese, young and old, then hunter‘s urnebes and strained yoghurt with peppers, and veal cream soup and vitamin soup rich with vegetables. The next steps are the famous crispy grilled đubek and spicy ljutenica, delicious stuffed dried peppers, and then we move on to the magic of the grill. Soft medallions, perfect pork fillet, exciting uštipci, playful stuffed and rolled chicken and grilled chicken drumsticks. And more - lamb and veal pljeskavica, smoked pork belly and homemade sausage, sweetbread and chitterlings, oxtails, liver in the crepine, roast under sač, and aged rump steak and bone-in ribeye steak. Moravian and shepherd‘s salad in spring and summer, sauerkraut, pickles and ajvar in winter, together with bećarac with young kajmak are an indispensable part of the meal.
