The best meal we had in our two weeks in Albania!

I loved it so much that we came back for dinner the next day. We were in Berat and had an underwhelming meal from another traditional food restaurant, so we wanted something familiar—but this restaurant went beyond our expectations.

Pizza – Just like what we’ve had in Italy. We ordered the Time Out pizza and Diavola—both were excellent, but if I had to pick one, the Time Out pizza was my favorite.

Meat platter for two – Great value at 1500 lek. Generous portions and high-quality meat.

American burger – Tasted great and came with plenty of fries.

Milkshakes – We tried the strawberry and Nutella milkshakes, both delicious.

The service was also excellent. Unlike other places in Albania where we felt pressured to leave a review, that wasn’t the case here, which I really appreciated. Too often, I find restaurants with high ratings based mostly on service rather than food quality, so I wanted to highlight the food here.

Definitely go here when you...

We ate here twice during our trip, and it was honestly one of the best dining experiences we had in Albania. It’s a family-run place—the husband takes care of the front, and his wife is the chef. You can tell they really care about their food and their customers.

On our second visit, they let us try some sushi they’re working on for the menu, and it was amazing. It’s not something you’d expect to find here, but they’re clearly passionate about trying new things and making sure everything they serve is top quality.

We’ve had pizza, a burger, a waffle, and a crepe here—all really good. The portions are generous, and everything is well-made.

Service was great too. It’s the kind of place you actually want to...
