Where to eat European food in Tirana: The Best Restaurants and Bars

July 16, 2020 Matilde Konrad

Reviews on European food in Tirana, Tirana County, Albania. 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.

This was definately one of the best meals of our holiday. Popular as there was queue of people waiting for a table when we left. Attentive staff even noticed when I spilt. My dinner on myself. We had the Albanian mixed starter which pleased both meat lovers and vegetarians alike. Too follow I chose the liver and kidney dish which was a delight. Central location but only small so it maybe advisable to bookDear helstravels, thank you very much for this positive and nice review! We are glad you could enjoy it and hope to welcome you soon again at our restaurants, Thank you and have a nice day!

Food was great, service was rude. I had a bottle of water on the table and the waiter didn’t like this, so without asking me, took it upon himself to pour it into a dirty glass and try and take my bottle from me with an attitude. This is a country where tap water is not drinkable throughout, so I find this incredibly rude. Especially as it is listed as a cheap eat and not 5* dining. He also decided to hand me the bill before I had even finished half my plate. No words or eye contact exchanged throughout. The rudest service I have experienced in a long time!

Me and my friends have been there a few times , its a nice place and the food is delicious. The only problem is that sometimes you have to wait a little bit long to have your order served .Anyway its worth it.

Reviewed By Keresa

This restaurant is really good to go with friends, they have a lot of selections of tasty food.. served europian style, place is bit small so if you are having business lunch or dinner not a great place, perfect service and good environment. If you are in Tirana must visit place.. do not forget to keep some cash since here bills are bit high comparing to Tirana regular prices.

Reviewed By SantaFe_NMCat50

Just so so and average compared to other places in Tirana. I think it caters to those on a budget which is fine, but there is better. I had a spinach salad with beets, sliced almonds, chicken, avocado, feta and oranges. Sounded great. However, the avocado was brown, the chicken was rubbery (actually saved it to feed to a friendly street cat) and the oranges still had the rinds on them. I usually do not eat the rinds on the oranges and did not want to spend time cutting them off myself. The environment is pleasant with outdoor seating and nice music.

I have really loved the food each time we visited Amor. The restaurant itself is tiny and intimate (with a BRIGHT ORANGE bathroom). The food is wonderful-- particularly the steak with truffle sauce and the appetizers. House wine is a good value.

This is the top rated restaurant in Tirana and for good cause. The food is excellent, the presentation amazing, prices very low and service is great. My only comment t is the fish main courses were disappointing compared to the appetizers and dessert but they aren’t bad, the just weren’t as special as the other courses. But still a great dinner and well worth a visit.
