What To Expect
Join me, Martin, on a personal culinary journey through Tirana’s living history.
This is not just another food tour — it’s a delicious walk through time.
Over five carefully chosen stops, you’ll taste the real flavors of Albania:
Traditional street food — fresh byrek, grilled sausages, and local specialties
A proper rakia tasting with stories from a small producer
Famous Albanian qofte (meatballs) in a hidden local restaurant
A historic dessert place serving traditional sweets that have delighted Tirana for over a century
A beautiful cocktail bar where they craft drinks using local rakia and Albanian wines
Along the way, I’ll share the stories behind the dishes — from Ottoman times to the communist period and today’s living traditions. Small groups only, relaxed pace, and plenty of time for questions and good conversations.
If you love food, wine, and authentic local experiences, this tour is for you.
