Restaurants cuisine du monde North

A very popular address. But why "G & T"? Because this restaurant plays on the traditions of the Guègues (northern Albanians) and the Tosques (southern Albanians). Housed in a ^17th-century house, the restaurant offers specialties from all over the country. Meats and cheeses come from the Theth region, and all kinds of rakis are served, including that of the owner, Djon. In winter, you'll be seated in a vast dining room with a huge fireplace. What's more, this establishment boasts some very attractive rooms.

Traditional dishes in a superb ^19th-century house next to the Orthodox Church of the Nativity of Christ. On the menu: stuffed vine leaves(japrak), stuffed peppers(speca të mbushura),, spinach or meat burek, meat okra(bamje me mish) and perfectly cooked pizzas. The same proprietors also own the recently opened and delightful Çoçja Boutique Hotel on Rue Vilson, 250 m south of Demokracia Square (from €69 for two with a good breakfast).

This traditional restaurant has a certain charm. Housed in a beautiful wood and stone building, it serves good meat grilled directly over an open fire. The welcome is rustic to say the least (no one here speaks English, French or even Italian), but with a few smiles and glasses of raki, you'll soon make yourself understood. The establishment also offers inexpensive accommodation (small wooden chalets and camping pitches) and even a mini-ski resort with a slope and a t-bar.
