Central Albania
On a quiet side street, Korça's most consistently popular restaurant in almost no way resembles a tavern; instead it's housed in a local home, with a raised terrace for al fresco dining, and looks like nothing remarkable at all. That said, the steaks are excellent and do not miss the roast vegetable plate, with its amazing Korça beans.
The menu is in Albanian only, but the waiters will translate it into English for you.
