About Café Botanica

Café Botanica fills its interior and terrace with green foliage below the arches of the Palace of Culture, right on Skanderbeg Square. Come early for a relaxed breakfast or lunch while you watch the square come to life, or return later for a wide choice of dinner dishes, cocktails and pastries. The location is hard to beat if you are visiting the Opera, the National Library or the Et’hem Bey Mosque. It gets busy in the evening, when the square fills with families on the xhiro.
