What you can expect

  • Discover the real taste of Albania on this 3-hour food walk through Tirana with a local guide. Meet at the Opera House on Skanderbeg Square and follow your guide along Rruga e Saraçëve to the colorful New Bazaar, stopping at the eateries locals love. Along the way, you'll taste 8 traditional dishes and 4 local drinks.

    Start with lakror, a homemade Albanian pie with your choice of filling, served with cool dhallë. Then sit down to tavë dheu baked in a clay pot, homemade meatballs, jufka, stuffed eggplant, and dollma.

    Save room for dessert: shëndetlie with honey and walnuts, and traditional milk ice cream. Raise a glass of grape raki, try bozë, a corn drink many Albanians remember from the communist era, and finish with a coffee stop, just like the locals.

    Between tastings, your guide shares stories about Tirana's history, culture, and the traditions behind each dish. Vegetarian options are available. The tour ends back at the Opera House. Come hungry!
