Probably our favorite place in Korçë as parents with kids who also like beer 😆 Kids: There is a huge outdoor free playground here in the main outdoor seating area. It's better than most public park playgrounds. Then there's the paid play area inside with an attendant, trampoline, all sorts of play stuff for 100 lek. Atmosphere: the place is like a huge garden with lots of shade trees, nice seating and looks really gardeny nice. Western Europe and the US should take a look at this place and take note!! It's amazing Food and drink: So we are budget travelers but also like good food. This place fit the bill. Not only could our kids have fun and we enjoy a good atmosphere, but the prices are so affordable. Not only that but the quality is amazing! Small beer is only 50 lek, 100 lek for a big draft, the big bottle Korçë dark is 180 lek. The wine is good and I think 200 lek for the big carafe. The food is so good and the quality, price and quantity is great. The meat was also delicious and cooked perfectly with good spices, the salads were huge and very good, the leek fritters were so delicious please try them. There's also snacks, crepes, ice cream, etc for the kids. All affordable, and delicious. The fritters and meats were like 50 lek each, bigger portions of meat lie 200 lek, salads I think 200 lek, etc. Last service: so the service isn't perfect. A little confusion sometimes but I think it could be they were just busy every time we went. Regardless, friendly and as foreigners we were treated nicely and with patience as we Google translated things 😆 Come here, let your kids have fun, eat and drink well, and enjoy peace and happiness. You won't be...

A temple of tradition, Birrari Panda welcomes you with the aroma of grilled meats sizzling like old songs by the fire. Every bite feels like a handshake from the ancestors — hearty, warm, and with a little proud wink. The Albanian sauces dance along the plate, whispering stories of mountains and rivers, while the drinks — wonderfully cheap but royally good — keep the spirits high without sinking your wallet.
The service? As if you were a long-lost cousin returning home. They even treated us to free dessert and extra drinks — a gesture sweeter than any baklava could ever dream to be. The ambiance wraps you in a cozy, traditional hug, with Albanian music weaving through the air like an invisible storyteller.
In a world where quality often hides behind high prices, Birrari Panda roars (or should I say, cuddles) with honest flavors, heartfelt service, and a joyous soul. A perfect reminder that the best moments in life — like the best meals — are simple, shared, and spiced with laughter.
Highly recommended... and beware: you might leave with a full belly and a...
Read moreRestaurant Panda in Korçë offers an excellent culinary experience, especially for grill enthusiasts. The food was delicious and made with fresh ingredients, making the visit truly enjoyable. The atmosphere is fantastic, with a warm and welcoming ambiance that makes it hard to leave.
However, the service leaves much to be desired. The waitstaff were cold and acted like robots, showing no emotion or engagement to enhance the dining experience. Improving the service would make this restaurant a perfect destination for a great...
