Traditional cooking in Durrës is home cooking: tavë kosi, byrek, qofte, slow-roasted lamb and cheese from local farmers, served with rakia and local wine. Portions are large and the pace is slow.
How to choose: look at the rating and the number of reviews to separate proven places from new ones, check the price shown as dollar signs, and read the short description for the atmosphere.
