Restaurants cuisine du monde Southwest

We recommend this restaurant only for one thing: its pleasant shaded terrace which offers a splendid view on the lauze roofs of the old town. For the rest, it is an address for tourists. But for patient tourists (the service is slow) and not too much in search of an amazing culinary experience, because the cuisine is decent, without more (grills, salads). However, with a small glass of local wine (not bad at all by the way) and a ray of sunshine, one spends a good moment here. And if it's just for a coffee break, then it will be perfect.

This Italian restaurant has Vlora's most popular terrace, whether for dinner or a drink. The à la carte menu includes pizzas, antipasti, pasta and fried dishes. Located on a ledge just above the tunnel to Radhima and next to the Albanian state residence, it boasts a magnificent view over the bay. The hotel also boasts seven comfortable, well-equipped rooms facing the sea. The only problem is that it can be noisy at night.

This restaurant is located on the shores of the small (700^m2) artificial lake of Mursi and the mainly Orthodox village of Mursi. It is run by a Swiss couple and a Konispol resident. It serves an astonishing array of international cuisine: toasted sesame feta and Greek-style tzatziki, Italian-style bruschetti and involtini, Spanish-style gazpacho and paella, Albanian-style fish tavë and qofte, baklava with a hundred layers of phyllo pastry, and more. A little pricey, but all very good. We also appreciate the small camping area.

Piazza is a charming restaurant, best appreciated for its terrace overlooking Spile beach. The à la carte menu features Greek specialties such as saganki: shrimp or seafood cooked in an earthenware dish with cheese and vegetables. The fresh fish, which you choose yourself from the sparkling kitchen, is perfectly grilled. Professional service. The owner also offers three cosy rooms in a beautiful neighboring house with a sea view, the Guesthouse 1932, which is the oldest hotel in town.

This small restaurant does not pay any mine with its room in basement and its mini-terrace installed in front of the carpark of the main square. Athina and her husband, however, offer very good family cuisine, i.e. gourmet, cheap and authentic. Some Greek-Turkish recipes (stuffed vegetables, Greek salad, etc.), but also Gjirokastra specialities such as qahi (sweet cheese tart) and qifqi (rice balls with eggs and mint) or vegetable soups, grilled vegetables, accompanied by the owners' merlot

This restaurant-pizzeria is a landmark in the country's history, since it was in this beautiful stone-vaulted house that the "Gjirokastra Assembly" was held on July 23, 1880, which saw Albania's nationalists lend their support to the insurgents of the Prizren League in Kosovo. On the plate, you'll find homemade pizzas from the wood-fired oven. The owners are warm and welcoming, the service attentive and the location pleasant, at the entrance to the old bazaar. Recommended, even just for a coffee.
