Mrizi i Zanave, in the village of Fishtë near Lezhë, is one of Albania’s most celebrated restaurants and a pioneer of the country’s slow food movement. The farm cooks northern Albanian food with its own cheese, cured meat, vegetables, olive oil and wine, and the long tasting menus show what Albanian produce can be. It is a natural stop on the road between Tirana and Shkodër, about ninety minutes from the capital. Book ahead, especially at weekends.
