Things to do in Himare
1. Portokalli

Reviewed By kgib61 - Italy
Himare has a fair amount of restaurants, mostly of the touristy, uninteresting kind...if you go a bit further south in the town, staying along the beach, you'll almost trip over Portokalli as it has this little old sign. There are more trendy places right and left of it, but resist the bright lights and go where the locals go. Our dinner at Portokalli was a GREAT meal and it cost us €20!! We had great grilled orata (sea bass) and and fresh grilled calamari. In addition we started with a fish soup and a delicious local dish called TURLI , a sort of casserole of meatballs and succulent vegetables and rich spices. All that, plus a liter of white wine, and we were instant fans. There was a big group of local men feasting away and one of them, an older gentleman, launched into song, completing the authentic atmosphere and, with that, we left happy and satisfied. Portokilli doesn't look like much...just open the cover of that book and have a great meal in Himare.
2. Esperia Restaurant
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 95 reviews
Esperia Restaurant is situated in the most beautiful corner of Ηimara’s harbour, next to the picturesque pier where the fishing boats tie up. Our restaurant has two outdoor spaces literally above the water, with a beautiful view on the blue sea and the golden sand beach of Spilea. We offer a wide variety of Greek and Mediterranean dishes, delicious international specialties along with a great selection of traditional regional cuisine.

Beautiful dishes - we tried the calamari, chicken, salad and roast veggies. All were lovely. Reasonably priced too. Complimentary fruit platter was the topper. Many thanks

Outside season visit to a too brightly lit location with an uncosy atmosphere with zero decorations, and noisy child running in restaurant. Few guests. Unfortunately food was unapetizing and bad. The first wine we were served was completely undrinkable. I do not understand how it can be offered to guests. We were not inspired to return. Even if not too expensive,must be said to be bad value for money.

We had a fantastic dinner here in Himare for a party of eight, driving down from Dhermi to find some different options. This was a more professional and organized restaurant than most of the choices in Dhermi. Between the eight of us we tried a variety of different dishes and everything was good, especially the pastas. I had a grilled calamari, which was the best calamari I had anywhere in Albania; it was prepared more like a calamari steak, grilled in lots of olive oil with herbs. Very fresh and tasty. Together with wine the dinner was still very affordable and the service was excellent. Recommended as a choice for anybody staying in Himare or elsewhere on the Southern Albanian coast who is looking for a pleasant dinner at a well-organized restaurant.

We ate excellent fresh fish (a wild sea bass) for a VERY decent price. It's on the sea, the waiters are very fast and friendly, the food is good, we even got free watermelon at the end ;-)

You sit in this restaurant, watch the sea and enjoy really good seafood and Greek starters. The staff is very friendly and prices are absolutely ok. Be aware that dishes are served one after another so waiters will not wait until you are finished with your starters. That's normal.

The food here is as amazing as the view. We had chicken and dorade and both was tasty. The waiter was quick and friendly, he even offered his jacket to my gilfriend because we were not dressed for the fresh wind that evening.

Reviewed By Gerti G - Florence, Italy
Friendly and educated staff, very good home made pasta, good wine and delicious meat tagliata made it a perfect dinner for us. Soup is delicious as well, home made and no artificial compounds, good for kids. We have been living in Italy for more than 10 years and can say that this is a very good Italian restaurant! Will be returning for sure!
