The grilled sea bass was spot on, and the house white they suggested paired really well with it. Menu&#39;s got a good range too, not just the usual fried stuff.

The fish soup was proper rich, really hit the spot. Cozy little place, staff were polite. Just keep in mind it&#39;s cash only.

The grouper was really good and the truffle prawn pasta hit the spot. Liked that they brought out some bread and fruit salad on the house. Staff were friendly enough, no complaints.

Castle view from the table was unreal. Food&#39;s simple home-style, meatballs were decent, the mixed plate meh. Free mountain tea at the end was a nice touch though.

Came here on a Saturday night with a couple of friends. Drinks were solid, nothing fancy but well made. Music was a good mix of Albanian and international tracks, kept the place lively. Staff checked on us a few times, not too pushy. Only thing is it got a bit crowded later, but that&#39;s expected. Fine spot for a casual night out.

The seafood linguine and spicy crab were fresh, really well done. Staff friendly too. Place gets busy but it&#39;s worth it for a solid meal in Saranda.

Stuffed aubergine was solid again this time. Portions are big and the price is fair for what you get. Nothing fancy, but it&#39;s been consistent every visit.

We&rsquo;ve been coming here for a while now, and the seafood risotto is still the reason I keep going back. Had it again last week, creamy, plenty of shrimp, cooked just right. The chocolate souffl&eacute; was good too, but that risotto is the one I think about. Place gets busy, but the food stays consistent.

Came for the pork chop, left impressed. Meat was well-seasoned, fries crispy. Staff efficient, no fuss. They brought out fresh watermelon at the end&mdash;nice touch, didn&#39;t expect that. Place is easy to find, parking wasn&#39;t a hassle. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and want a straightforward meal.

The carbonara was solid and that sunset view really did something to the vibe. Service kept it easy, no rushing us. Just a nice spot to sit and eat.

Loved the traditional dishes here, especially the stuffed peppers. Fair prices too, and it&rsquo;s a quick walk from the main spots.

Came for breakfast, had the calzone with Greek salad and ayran. Coffee was decent, nothing fancy. Card payment works, which is always a plus. Place was quiet enough for a morning stop. Calzone was filling, salad fresh. Fine for what it is.

The chicken risotto was solid, creamy and cooked right. Mixed grill came out juicy too. Nice little spot right by the beach, though it got a bit busy later. Mocktail was a good way to cool down.

The beef kebab was solid, staff actually took time to explain the menu. Free fruit at the end was a nice touch.

The view from the terrace is really something&mdash;you can see the whole valley and the mountains behind. We went for lunch and I had the pasta, which was properly cooked, not overcooked like you get in a lot of places. Felt a bit more upscale than the usual spots around here. Toilets were clean too, which I always notice.

Came in about 20 minutes before closing, owner didn&#39;t rush us at all. Still made a fresh pizza, crust was properly charred, toppings generous. Place was quiet, just us and the oven humming. Paid around 15 euros, felt fair for the size. Only thing, tables could&#39;ve been wiped a bit better, but honestly the service made up for it.

Came back here twice this trip. Grilled veggies with that balsamic glaze are still my go-to. Nothing fancy, just solid home-style cooking that hits the spot. Place gets busy around 8, but the food comes out quick. Same quality as last time I visited, which is why I keep coming back.

Took a taxi from Gjirokaster to get here&mdash;bit of a ride, but the view alone made it worth it. Sat outside, just quiet hills and fresh air. Had a simple lunch, nothing fancy, but the setting really carried the whole experience. If you want a break from the city noise, this is the spot.

Stopped in for dinner and honestly the steak was the highlight &mdash; cooked exactly how I asked, juicy, no complaints. Portion size surprised me, definitely not leaving hungry. The owners were friendly too, made it feel like a proper local spot. Only thing is it&rsquo;s a bit easy to miss from the street, but worth keeping in mind.

The music was a nice mix&mdash;Cuban, Africana, Latin stuff you don&#39;t hear often. Had the lemony soup and pork chops, both solid. A glass of red would&#39;ve paired well with the pork, though.

Stopped by for a relaxed beach day and ended up staying for dinner. Grilled shrimp was spot on, seafood linguine too. Had a nice glass of white wine with it&mdash;worked well with the garlic sauce. Place got busier as the sun went down, but still easy to hang around. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area.

The seafood platter was fresh and pretty generous for the price. Local wine went well with it too. Only thing is they don&#39;t take cards, so bring cash. We almost got caught out but luckily had enough on us.

The seafood linguine was packed with flavor, and honestly the prices felt way more fair than the spots right on the promenade. Fresh too.

Stopped by for a quick dinner and grabbed the mixed seafood platter. Shrimp were fresh, fish was grilled nicely. House wine was better than I expected honestly. Staff were chill, didn&rsquo;t rush us at all. Place was a bit noisy but fine for a casual night out. Would eat here again if I&rsquo;m in the area.

Fresh fish done right in Saranda&mdash;simple grilled catch, no fuss. Tasted like it came straight from the sea. Card payment saved me.

Small family spot, decent portions and the coffee was pretty good. Liked the local style with cinnamon on top. Staff were kind enough to share a few tips about the area.

The terrace view is lovely, especially on a hot day. Baked white cheese was really good. Owner even brought fresh grapes from their garden after. Nice touch.

Cozy little family place, super chill for hanging out with friends. The homemade meatballs were solid and portions are big for the price. Wish we had more room to try everything 😅

The fried rice balls were the highlight&mdash;really flavorful and worth the price. Service was quick too. Place felt a bit quiet, but honestly, the food makes up for it.
