Taste traditional Albanian food in Tirana
Welcome to the tour that combines Tirana's history, architecture and traditional Albanian food. First of all, we recommend that participants do not go overboard with their breakfasts at the hotel, in order to be immediately ready to taste the Albanian food recipes and specialties that we will offer you.

Paçe, the traditional soup - paired with rice
After the pick up at the hotel, the tour begins with a typical Albanian breakfast. The first destination we will reach is a Mengjezore bar restaurant, one of the few places that prepares typical traditional breakfast. Located in the bicycle market area, the Mengjezore has kept the Breakfast Restaurant tradition alive since 2004. Here, you will have the opportunity to taste the Paçe me pilaf, a thick and spicy meat soup. Paçe is made with less noble parts of cattle, but rich in flavor, and is generally consumed with rice.

You will have the opportunity to stop and taste one of the Tiranese sweet specialties after visiting a local pastry shop, which continues to respect the old meringue pie recipe.
