Mediterranean Restaurants in Sarandë

Sarandë looks across the channel to Corfu and cooks like the Ionian: grilled fish, roasted octopus, olives, tomatoes, white cheese and olive oil from the Lukovë hills. Mediterranean restaurants line the Sarandë promenade and continue into Ksamil, where the hillside tavernas look over the bay and the islets. This is the cooking of long lunches after the beach and sunset dinners.

Sole Mare in Ksamil is the hotel dining room with a seafood accent, Eagle Nest is the grill house with a lantern-lit terrace framed by flowers, Taverna Afa on the Ksamil hillside serves long lunches and sunset dinners over the bay, Nautical in the heart of Ksamil is the modern seafood restaurant, and Haxhi on the hill above Sarandë has a terrace facing the Ionian and thousands of reviews behind it.

A two-course Mediterranean dinner with wine costs 2,000 to 4,000 lek per person. From June to September Sarandë and Ksamil are full, so book your table one or two days ahead, especially for sunset.
