Rruga Papa Gjon Pali II 5, Tiranë, Albania
Fine Dining in Tirana
Fine dining in Tirana has come a long way in ten years. Chefs who worked in Michelin-starred kitchens in Italy and France have opened their own rooms, seven- and nine-course tasting menus have become normal, and cellars hold aged Albanian wines next to French ones. The result is a dinner that lasts three hours and stays with you.
San Martino 26 beside the Olympic Park is the modern trattoria that treats Italian classics with precision, Rossini on Rruga Papa Gjon Pali II remains the most formal dining room in the city, Pireu cooks the best fish in Tirana in a plant-filled townhouse, and Fresh Garden in Blloku works a Mediterranean fusion menu with a strong seafood accent. MDB Steakhouse completes the list for those who want meat cooked with care.
A tasting menu costs 6,000 to 12,000 lek per person without wine, while a three-course à la carte dinner runs 5,000 to 8,000 lek. Most of these restaurants have few tables, so book three to seven days ahead, and earlier for a Saturday.
Resto lists 18 fine dining restaurants in Tirana, with prices from 3,000 to 5,000 lek to over 5,000 lek per person. The highest rated on Google are NOAH GARDEN TIRANE Restaurant, San Martino 26 - Trattoria Moderna and Bati Restaurant 2. 5 of them take free online bookings through Resto; for the others you will find the phone number and address on the restaurant's page.
