Beach Bar Restorant Rilinda Ksamil

Reviewed By nisha09 - London, United Kingdom

We were staying in a curious little guesthouse on the other side of Ksamil in October, when this amiable yet odd town seems half-shut-down and the pickings (dining-wise) look poor. A desultory stroll around the place brought us to this beautiful bay, where several restaurants were open. The Rilinda, with a stunning location, tables all the way down to the shore and an inviting Terrace, easily won. As we watched the to and fro of giant Ferries (presumably leaving from Corfu) and the light dying over the limpid sea, we dined on excellent pasta and quaffed drinkable white wine. It's pricey for Albania - but that is not pricey. And the view is tremendous.

The waiter was very professional. We had "abiori salad" and it was very tasty, modern food. House wine was good. We tried pasta with ham and it was ok. Fried squids were also good but they were missing some dipping sauce. We also tried desserts - brownie and tres leches and we liked them. The restaurant is spacious and has a very nice view. I would return.

Four visits to date and have not been disappointed. Fabulous food especially the salads and seafood. Family run establishment. Excellent location overlooking crystal clear water and Ksamil Islands. Pleasantly laid back, perfect for lunch or after a long day on their private beach. I am so looking forward to my next visit. Thoroughly, thoroughly recommend.

Brother's taverna

Reviewed By Chinkle - London, United Kingdom

Away from the Beaches and a more authentic experience is this family run Greek place. It always seems busy which is a good sign. The menu has more Greek offerings than your typical Albanian restaurant. The staff were friendly although rushed off their feet.
The quality of the food was pretty good, although I'm not sure we order the best examples of it.

A very nice location with Italian specific. It has a roof-terrace with a magnificent view over the sea. Everything we ordered, from the sea-food antipasti to the king prawns and from the pizza to the tiramisu, was excellent.
The Italian owner is a very nice host and his employees the same.

went there 2 times for lunch ,first time was good experience(the food,service,the place,happy all of as)
The second times went around 2 00 pm, waited 1hrs to take order, and long time for the food. The mussels never arrived. when asked, they were surprised that we were still waiting.We spend more the than 2 hrs in the restaurant.
We were there for food only and go back to the beach.not waste time wating for food
No apologise for bad service or not bringing out the food that we ordered ,they didn't seem to care.
More tables they can handle,badly organised.
Dodn't go there on busy times
