I liked the restaurant overall. Possible to pay with card, moderate pricing. We ate staffed calamari and mousaka. Both dishes were good, personally i just didn’t like bell pepper in stuffing, but i just dont like it in general. Calamari was well cooked

Lovely quite restaurant that serves super delicious seafood and traditional food. Big portions for very good prices. They have draft beer and home wine as well. It was so good that I kept on coming back for several days. My favourite dish was seafood salad, very fresh and perfectly seasoned. Their desert of the house was delightful as well.

Unassuming but excellent.Was very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant in Sarande on the road towards Ksamil. Every dish was excellent. The place has a cosy feel and was fairly quiet on a Thursday evening at 9pm, which is perhaps why I did not expect too much, but the food punched well above it's weight.The fish soup starter was 'the best she'd ever had' according to my partner, and was very tasty but mild enough for me to also enjoy (I'm not a big on seafood). The Caesar salad we had to share had the perfect amount of dressing and all the ingredients were fresh and the lettuce was crisp, and the whole thing was very tasty, with plenty of parmesan cheese and decent sized chicken breasts.My main of grilled lamb ribs was delicious, with plenty of juicy meat on the ribs and a nice big chunk of lemon to go with for extra seasoning. Also the accompanying grilled vegetables were fantastic with a garlic and balsamic vinegar dressing.My partner's main of grilled octopus was very meaty and not remotely chewy / rubbery - perfectly cooked, and there was a healthy portion, which meant she couldn't finish it all. And it also came with nice big chunks of lemon and orange for extra taste.Overall there seemed to be a lot of care taken on the food. Would absolutely recommend.

In all my trips to Albania, without a doubt this was the best place that offers a typical and delicious Albanian breakfast, all the food is selected, freshly prepared and everything arrives warm on the table, a delight, without a doubt ask for the typical petulla, small pancakes to eat with the typical cheese or with the delicious jam, it's up to you, it will always be my favourite place for breakfast, thank you for your service.
