Enough Albanian traditional artefacts to shame an ethnographic museum bedeck the walls of this charming Blloku place. There's an excellent selection of traditional Albanian cooking – try the delicious Korça meatballs – as well as Italian pasta and pizza, and prices are low. Try the terrace dining area if the interior is a little too much for you.
