Oda
Old-house Albanian cooking
About Oda
Oda has been serving Albanian home cooking since 2005 in a traditional house a short walk from the New Bazaar. Expect fërgesë, stuffed peppers, grilled meats, village salads and homemade raki, served in low rooms decorated with carpets, crafts and old furniture that say a lot about Albanian customs. It is a favourite with visitors who want a first taste of the national cuisine, so book ahead in the evening. Order several dishes to share and finish with a glass of raki, as the house intends.
