About Baronesha

Baronesha is the expats’ go-to shop for a taste of home, a small Blloku deli stocking imported foods that are hard to find elsewhere in Albania: from Vegemite to hollandaise sauce, vegan cheese to fillet steak, diet soda to cider. If you are staying in an apartment and miss a particular ingredient, this is the first place to look. It also sells good Albanian products. It stands just south of Rruga Pjetër Bogdani, next to the lane leading to the À la Santé restaurant.
