Artigiano Restaurant
Handmade pasta and artisanal focaccia served alongside Albanian favourites. The kitchen calls itself a hybrid of two culinary worlds, and it is the Italian half doing most of the work — worth knowing if you came to Tirana for qofte.

Oda Garden
A traditional kitchen in Pazari i Ri, founded in 2005 by the director and actor Paskal Prifti, which describes itself as promoting art, folklore and the tradition of Albanian cuisine. The menu it publishes is Tirana home cooking, a good deal of it from a wood-fired stove — lamb and village chicken cooked that way, alongside tavë dheu, fërgesë, stuffed peppers and vine leaves, pies, and a list of house brandies.
