With a mix of heritage dating back to the Illyrians, Tirana is ranked high on my list of the best restaurant scenes around. You wont find the usual fast food giants or array of generic restaurant chains but rather a huge variety of locally owned traditional restaurants serving comfort style food and plenty off it. With a mix of Turkish, Italian & Mediterranean influences merged with Albanian cuisine eating out is an affordable & enjoyable holiday experience. Albanian hospitality is second to none, never would you have seen a more welcoming face as you enter the restaurant. Most often you will be immediately served with loads of extras, drinks, breads and cheese which are consumed with every meal. You will leave both satisfied & socialized. Here are some of my favorites.
Top Tirana Restaurants
Luga e Argjendte Tirana
This restaurant is all about local dishes, local ingredients and promoting healthy eating and locally grown products. Each of the ingredients in the dishes is hand picked from local farmers / artisans and cooked with skill and more importantly, love. It’s a small restaurant that looks more like a deli shop. The shop sells lots of lovely food items such as honey and marmalade but also has 3 tables for dining in. The restaurant is open for breakfast lunch and dinner. Vegetarian options available
