Where to eat
Dining
Types of places, typical dishes and, where verified, named spots with their own website and directions. Always check recent reviews and opening hours.
01
Fancy dinners
A few seasonal spots by the bay; many visitors combine the castle with lunch elsewhere on the coast.
Typical dishes: Grilled fish or seafood, lamb, steaks, salads and wine. On the coast look for fresh catch of the day; inland, thoughtful takes on tavë kosi and traditional plates.
02
Street food
Bakeries, grill counters and small stands you can eat standing up or take away.
Typical dishes: Byrek and pite by the piece, qebapa in bread with onion and kajmak, qofte, suxhuk, bakllava and strong coffee or macchiato.
03
Comfort food
Keep expectations modest — bring snacks if you are mainly visiting the castle.
Typical dishes: Tavë kosi, fërgesë, flija or pite, sarma, beans (pasul), yogurt and simple grilled meats. In the mountains: dairy, flija and slow-cooked dishes.
