About Ottos Restocafé

Ottos Restocafé began in 2018 as a small café corner on Rruga e Durrësit that quickly became a neighbourhood favourite. After some years abroad the owners came back to a changed Tirana and reopened with a fresh idea: Albanian mikpritje, the country’s famous hospitality, shaped by Mediterranean kitchens, with organic ingredients from producers they name on their website. Come for breakfast, a long lunch or an early dinner. It also runs a book cycle, so look out for the shelf. Reserve online at busy times.

Why it's on our list
