Top 10 restaurants in Tirana, Albania

October 24, 2017 Karren Gelb

Tirana, the Republic of Albania's largest city, is blessed with a mild Mediterranean climate, a plethora of beautiful churches and lush parks. Founded in 1614, some striking Mussolini-era architecture dots the city center. Walk between sights such as Skanderbeg Square's 1789 Et'hem Bey Mosque, the 1830 Sahat-Kulla (Clock Tower) and the Puppet Theater, once home to King Zog's puppet parliament. Visit the Peace Bell, built with old cartridge shells, a reminder of Tirana's stormy past.

We stopped here after our ride up the mountain. Service was excellent, wait staff responsive. I️ had salad, grilled vegetables and homemade pasta in a sauce. Everything was good. The bread was toasted and served hot. It was lovey to have fresh cut fruit with a little cinnamon for dessert.

Amor

Reviewed By Carlos_Barcelona - Barcelona

Enjoyed a lovely lunch there. Very good appetisers, there is a good cuisine behind the door, risotto and an awesome assortment of meats to end with. For dessert, extraordinary cheesecake, crepe brûlée was good but not the best and lovely avocado ice cream. On the not so good, the bread could be way better. Heated buns not at the same level at all than the cuisine.
I can’t judge prices as I was invited.

A la Sante

The location of our nice little restaurant is in the middle of Tirana, in the most favorite part of it called The Block. The philosophy of this restaurant since the beginning of it is eating healthy so this is what we offer. Nearly all of our products are homemade & bio, and this differs us from other restaurants.

A very well decorated restaurant with a excellent staff that served us very professionaly. The food was delicious but not something you would not find in other restaurants for cheaper. But the whole experience is something you will not find in other Restaurants.They had a welcome plate and aur Glasses were never empty. The restaurant is a little difficult to find if you dont know where it is or you havent been there! I would recommend to try the Restaurant!
