It doesn’t matter what part of the city you live in, WALK HERE!!! The food is incredible. The best in Sarande. They make it alllll fresh. :) great atmosphere too!
The best family owned restaurant in Saranda, without a doubt. Every dish is made fresh and is fantastic. It is a cash only establishment so please bring Leke when you come. Hot fresh delicious food and ice cold beer. They offer everything from salads to seafood to vegetarian dishes , we love the salads, pasta and kebabs.
All absolutely excellent! The service was very nice and fast and the food was incredibly good. If you have a chance, stop here. The restaurant is ordinary on the outside, but the food is. Yummy! We were here twice.
Great little family run restaurant off the main tourist track. Got a huge plate of pork ribs with fries and a lovely arugula salad and water for 1480 lek. Enough for 2.
Somewhat mixed feelings about this place. Portions were huge, tasty and good value for money. However, service was quite slow, and only cash was accepted. Pizza dough sure didn't seem to be authentic. That being said, the atmosphere was delightful, so would go again.
So happy that we found this traditional family restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing, friendly staff and nice wine. We’ll come back for sure.
I highly recommend it! Delicious, fresh food, the best mussels we've ever had, delicious pasta and shrimp, and very friendly service. You have to check it out
