When it comes to good food, I am always selective. I always like to explore new places, but of course, they shouldn’t cost much. I often read different articles from foreign tourists who give advice on where to eat well and cheaply in Tirana. As a native, I would like to share my personal experience as a suggestion for people who want to enjoy something good in Tirana.
