About Sugar
Sugar mixes Mediterranean and Asian cooking in a stylish room on Rruga e Elbasanit, a short walk from the Grand Park. The kitchen leans on slow roasting and open fire, with sushi and Asian dishes next to grilled meats, pasta and Mediterranean plates, and the place is built for long evenings: this is somewhere to settle in rather than rush. It also hosts events and music nights. Book ahead at weekends, and see the website for the current menu, which is in English and Albanian.
