Uka Farm

Top choice in Tirana


Uka Farm was founded in 1996 by former Minister of Agriculture Rexhep Uka, who started organic cultivation of agricultural products on a small plot of land. His son Flori, a trained winemaker and standout amateur chef, is now the driving force behind the restaurant. Guests can enjoy fresh, flavourful vegetables and locally sourced cheese, meat and quality homemade wine.

It's on the road out to the airport and a taxi will cost around 2000 lekë. It's essential to book ahead.
