Pristina


It's not only the cuisine that is typically Albanian here, but the fug of smoke hovering over the entire space. Despite that, this is a great spot to sample Albanian dishes with a largely local crowd who, in winter, gather around the roaring log fire. There are a couple of other similar places on the same street.
