Banesa 23 — Restaurant in Bashkia Durrës

When we walked in we were the only people there, the younger guy answered a few of our questions before we decided to sit down. I asked for menus he said we could only have 2 as he needed them for later (reminder, no one was there).

The menu was quite limited. I was happy to see chicken as an option. Our group had different items. No one really liked the food. The meats were quite chewy and lacked any flavor. You had to order a side separately which weren’t very good. Overall it was our least favorite meal in Albania and we spent over a week here.

We enjoyed the patio. The inside of the restaurant looked...

Another hidden gem in Durres. People, don’t go to restaurants on main streets, avoid tourist‘s traps on popular tourist‘s areas, beaches and promenades. Well, this was a bit pathetic, however facts are facts. Genuine, fresh and well made local Albanian dishes are something that really worth to try. This is such a place. Nice made modern restaurant out from 100 years former old tobacco factory, atmosphere is very welcoming. Staff is great, fluent on English and talkative. No fake chats you aren’t treated like next number....

Excellent food! Everything we ordered was so damn delicious. We are highly satisfied. And the prices are affordable. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to take photos except tiramisu that a waiter gave everyone of us as a complement from the restaurant.

We’ve been here with friends and took lots of appetizers, lasagna (this was so unbelievably delicious), Tomahawk (1kg) and a lot of different drinks. Everything was amazing, especially the vibe of the place.
