About Bufe Wine Bistro

Bufe was one of the first places in Tirana to take brunch seriously, and it still serves the classics: eggs, pancakes and good coffee from the morning on. In the afternoon and evening it turns into a wine bistro, pouring Albanian wines by the glass alongside a seasonal menu, which makes it a relaxed place to try local grapes such as Kallmet and Shesh. The atmosphere is easy-going and friendly. It is a good address for a lazy weekend morning or an early evening glass before dinner.
