Popular Restaurants | Other Restaurants Tips | All Tips (36) One of the things that has visibily improved during the past 10 years is the quality of the restaurants. You can find many good places at the center, main food is Italian, French and Albania. There are two chinese restaurants as well and one mexican. You may chechk Berlin, Primavera, Tavernetta around the Bllok area, but my favourite is Era - mostly good local food and meals less than 7-8 eur. Leave a Comment

By the name oyu would think it's an italian restaurant... wrong. it's a delicious Albanian restaurant specializing in food from the Corca area, where the owner (Edda) is from. Very nice interior with traditional instruments and costumes.
The restaurant is closed on Sunday.
Their grilled hard cheese is simply to die for. They also prepare delicious tave me dishes, withor without meat. And don't forget to try the Albanian pie (salty, not sweet - cheese-based). A bit on the heavy side, but truly delicious.

This restaurant's best asset is that it's locatred right ourside Tirana's great park, only a few steps away from the Stadium Qemal Stafa - but it feels like it's in the countryside, as it's all surrounded by trees and cars can't travel any further.
The menu is on the italian side, offering in particular pizzas - but it's quite a good restaurant. The building where it's located looks like a tiny mano, and the outside garden is very relaxing. by albanian standards this is quite a fancy restaurants, but for western standards prices are still cheap.
There is another Juvenilja in the center, but it's in a less beautiful area.
It has to be pizza - one of the best pizzas eaten outside italy. Many people come here in the afternoon with the entire family and have huge ice-creams, so I take that they are worth trying, too.

This busy place for sweets, cakes and ice-creams seemed to be sreaming at us to enter it, as we were alking from the university to skenderbeg square. It's very near the rinia park, where families and children gather in the late afternoon and evening to chat and play, and where the younger generation goes to see and be seen ad the internacional
Wonderful desserts... especially the puddings - which are quite large, but you have to see the size of the cakes that albanians manage to order. I have a sweet tooth, and yet... i was impressed.

With Tirana's lack of road signs and Lonely Planet's awful map, this place was a nightmare to find. It must have taken two hours. But it was well worth it. A cosy little wood panelled restaurant, with amazing home cooked food, and great service, it is one of the best restaurants I've been too anywhere in the world. They even have an English menu, and the place seems popular with expats in the capital.
One word of warning, however, despite the LP guide saying it has "vegetarian specialities", this restaurant is meat, meat, meat. Piglet in a pot, baked kid, lamb entrails, and live wolf in jar of egg white (ok I made that one up). All things Korcan, basically. However, with the help of the waiter, I managed to order something vegetarian, and it was fantastic. Albanian vegetables are wonderful anyway, being all organic, but here they made them sing.
Directions: From the National History Museum, walk out towards the square. Cross the first road, and then turn right at the second. Just after a pastel villa hidden in the trees, there's a right turn. Take it. You will pass Hotel California, and then Serenata is just a little further.

Vila Amsterdam is in the embassy opposite the Dutch Embassy. We ate here because we spent an hour locating the old East German embassy, where the recommended Villa Ambassador restaurant was meant to be located. Vila Amsterdam turned out to be an acceptable substitute, although we were at first concerned that nobody else but us was ordering food in this busy establishment. I don't know why this is, but the pizzas were pretty good. Excellent stone baked bases, but the topping followed the Albanian style of pizza, and looked and tasted more like cheese on toast than something you'd get in Italy.
Good prices though, and probably pretty good as far as pizza goes in Tirana.

If you find yourself near lots of embassies, you'll know you are in the right area.

The Lonely Planet guide rates this restaurant so highly, that it insists its readers visit it as part of its "Tirana in Two Days" recommendation. It certainly sounds appealing, with "fantastic service" and "tasty Albanian dishes for carnivores and vegetarians alike", all set in the former East German embassy. The only problem that, like many of the Lonely Planet's West Balkans restaurant recommendations, it no longer exists. In fact, judging by the depth of trash and dust gathering outside the embassy, it hasn't been open in years. Unlike my LP guidebook which is dated 2006.
So, to save yourself hours of your holiday wandering around the dark streets of nighttime Tirana looking for this famous restaurant: don't bother. Leave a Comment Theme: Local

Do these distorted golden arches look familiar? They're suppose to.
Welcome to Tirana's version of McDonalds. This somewhat lively establishment, located near Tirana University, is extremely disappointing. Serving up hamburgers, french fries, and fried chicken, don't get your hopes up, the food is bland and overpriced. Additionally, the restaurant is awash with little brats running around hurling projectiles at one another. Don't even bother with this place.
Nothing here is good. Theme: Fast FoodPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Sheshi ItaliaDirections: Near Tirana University and the Sheraton Hotel
