Enjoyed a wonderful meal here, every item that was brought to the table was first of all a feast for the eyes, but more importantly delivered when put in the mouth. A wide range of dishes to suit most tastes were brought, no one could possibly leave here with anything but a full stomach. I particularly enjoyed the goat, not something I would normally order. Not to be missed if visiting the region, make sure you book ahead! When the meal is over, the memory will linger for a long time.

If you're after a great pizza, there's no need to go elsewhere.Vegetarian is super, as is Capriciosa and many others.Ask the locals, they'll tell you it's the best.Not too much else on offer, salads and the like but if you are after a good priced pizza, big enough to share between two, then this is the place.
8. Bujtina e Gjelit

Food was good but restaurant seemed to cold and dark and it was not filled with guests and it let us doubt about the food and service but at the end we were pleased with the fish food.

We came for the first time in shengjin for just a day. We sow this restaurant and came in. The pizzas were very good, the salads have tried better. The staff should say very proffesional and made us feel like we were old friends. In general, a good place for a day.

We have had dinner the first time here during our vacations and suddenly it became our preffered restaurant and we got to return there a few times during our stay in Shengjin. The service is fast and the staff is very friendly. We could try different dishes, fish menu or albanian traditional cuisine. For sure that we will return again next time and we strongly recommand it.
3. Vila Leodori

2. Detari

Detari is the only reasonable restaurant in this dreary and rather uninviting holiday town. What is served here is not high cuisine, but perfectly reasonable country cooking, made from good raw material and fresh fish, directly from the harbour (the establishment also has a shop for fresh fish across the street). Don't come here and expect something unusual and imaginative. But in this town, where there's otherwise only hamburgers and pizza, Detari is a very inspiring example. The fish of the day is laid out on an table with ice next to the entrance and the waiters speak enough English to be able to explain what is what. On several visits over a couple of days I tried octopus salad, "mixed fish" as well as mixed salad. The Octopus salad was nominally a starter, but with a very large portion. The octopus was finely cut and marinated in a sauce with oil and tomatoes. It was a very good salad, but a too large portion - I simply couldn't eat all of it. The "mixed fish" was a selection of three different kinds of fish, fried and served with a peppery sauce (somewhat resembling the classic Balkan ajvar). I don't know what kind of fish it was, but at least one was a flat fish resembling sole. The quality of the fish was very good, but the hard frying wasn't really necessary. Fish should be fried on relatively low temperature and it isn't necessary to fry until there is a hard crust on the surface. The cook should learn to experiment with lower temperatures and shorter frying time. The mixed salad was again very large, with perfect, finely cut green salad, excellent tomatoes, cucumber, olives and a variety of other vegetables. The service was very good, attentive and helpful. Wine is only served by the bottle, but it's perfectly free to make a takeaway if you can't drink a whole bottle. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated.

Seeing so many positive reviews, we decided to give Rapsodia a try. I ordered Menu Degustazione - Mi with fish (with 23 small appetizers and 5 dishes). Everything was extremely tasty, the tastes were perfectly combined. The service was very friendly and helpful (very good explanation of the food),including the Chef Fredi. He greeted us friendly and asked if everything was OK. I will highly recommend this Restaurant as well as Kallmeti Wine (everywhere in Albania, it's the best).The only tiny minus thing: timing between the plates. Sometimes I got the other plate without finishing the previous. But it's only an extremely small thing in comparison to the food and service.I will definitely recommend this Restaurant.
