Tirana's steakhouses have raised the standard of meat in the city. American Black Angus, Wagyu, beef dry-aged for 30 days and lamb from Dibër are cooked over charcoal or in Josper ovens, served with house-made sauces and Albanian reds from Përmet and Berat. The rooms are dark, quiet and built for long dinners.
KOPE on Rruga e Bogdanëve is the best-known steakhouse in the city, with Black Angus ribeye and tomahawk, MDB on Brigada VIII pairs premium cuts with a lounge, Asador opposite the Selman Stërmasi stadium offers a garden and private rooms, and Terracotta on Komuna e Parisit blends meat with Italian cooking in an intimate room.
A 300-gram steak costs 2,500 to 5,000 lek depending on the cut, and a full dinner with wine about 5,000 to 9,000 lek per person. These are restaurants for occasions, so book two or three days ahead for the weekend and ask for a quiet table if it is a business dinner.
