Sublime dinner, culinary experience of the highest level. - We went for dinner with friends on our trip to Tirana! What can I say! Go with your eyes closed! You will certainly experience the best food and wine experience in Tirana. Sublime expression of a territory similar to ours but different in its dishes.
Excellent! Go there!

Delicious Albanian food with Sokol as a wonderful cook and narrator - Great evening with Sokol as chef with delicious Albanian and Mediterranean dishes. We got 13 small servings - mainly vegetarian. Everyone tasted exquisite, and Sokol told far and wide about the food, culture, history and life in Albania.
It is a must-do in Tirana if you like culinary experiences.

Diving in to Albanian cuisine - We had an amazing dinner at Sokol’s culinary place. He made sure that everyone felt comfortable and provided a wealth of diverse Albanian dishes.
One thing that I particularly liked about the experience was that we ate seasonal-specific food. Sokol explained the process of creating each dish that he presented. For a group who had never been to Albania before, this was really a personal and cultural treat.
