Restorant Tradicional Urat stands next to Gjirokastër Castle, at the top of the old town's stone lanes. Most guests arrive on foot, after the long walk uphill.
Then it's time to sit down: homemade traditional cooking, a glass of raki and an elevated, glass-walled dining room that looks straight at the castle.
The kitchen cooks what Gjirokastër is known for: qifqi rice balls, sarma in grape leaves, stuffed peppers and eggplants, and musaka straight from the oven.
Guests talk about the people as much as the food: a friendly, welcoming owner, kind staff and plates that taste homemade and fresh.
The city of stone: slate roofs, old stone houses and steep lanes that climb to the castle. Urat sits right beside it, at the end of the climb.
An elevated, glass-walled dining room looks out over the castle and the traditional stone houses. Outside, the terrace tables share the same view.
Traditional Albanian cooking, made the home way: byrek, fërgesë, tavë kosi, shapkat, pastiço and qofte, next to grilled meats and fresh salads.
A menu in Albanian and English, card payments accepted and a kitchen open every day from 09:00 to 23:00, whenever the road brings you here.
