What people say

"The restaurant emphasizes the use of organic, locally sourced ingredients, including meats and dairy products from nearby pastures. Their menu reflects the simplicity and natural flavors of the region, with traditional Albanian dishes prepared using fresh herbs, local produce, and authentic recipes. For breakfast, guests can enjoy fresh milk, homemade jam, organic butter, and cheese from the guesthouse's own farm, paired with coffee or tea. Lunch typically includes a soup of the day, a main dish such as lamb liver with onions and pilaf rice, and a mixed salad. Dinner features appetizers like byrek (a traditional Albanian pie) and bruschetta, followed by main courses such as chicken breast with mushrooms, pork chops in white wine sauce, or grilled trout with vegetables. Meals are complemented by a selection of local wines, beers, or non-alcoholic beverages. The prices are moderate, reflecting the quality and authenticity of the dishes. However, specific price details might vary, so it's best to check directly with the restaurant when making a reservation​."
"10/10!!!! I couldn't have been happier with this place. Came for the cheese board I saw on trip advisor and stayed because it was the best place EVER! The family who runs the place is amazing and so kind and helpful. The place itself is beautiful, clean, and has INCREDIBLE views. The food was amazing and we ate some of the best meals of our trip here! I would highly recommend having multiple meals here so you can try things! We were VERY happy with our stay here and hope to return someday! "
"Eating at this spot feels like something out of a fairy tale. It's up on a hill, so you get a great view of Theth and the valley. You can see all the mountains around. The outdoor setup is nice, with some cool lights. If you're lucky, you might snag a seat under a tree and have an awesome meal. If you're traveling as a couple and want to have a date night, this is the place to go. "
