Gjirokastër, a UNESCO museum-city above the Drino valley, keeps a distinctive southern kitchen: qifqi rice balls, pispili cornbread, shapkat, oshaf pudding and baked meat with yoghurt. Most restaurants sit inside characteristic stone houses, with terraces turned toward the valley.
The Old Bazaar is the heart of eating in town, with stone tavernas, historic cafés and restaurants serving traditional Gjirokastër dishes. On the road down to the valley there are agritourism venues and larger restaurants working with local produce.
