Antipatrea Traditional Restaurant & Cocktails

Name of the restaurant is what you get. A traditional place with extra friendly staff and a generous offer of Albanian dishes. Dishes itself are prepared and served as expected for traditional place. The taste is there, nothing to complain about. If you want to keep it simple and traditional - go after it.
Do not expect classy place with great wine selection, though.

Nice and cosy restaurant with good food and excellent service. We visited this place for lunch and our water recommended to try the mixed plate for two people. We also ordered the village salad which was excellent. We could really taste the juicy and fresh tomatoes and a full of flavour cucumbers drizzled with good quality olive oil. The traditional food mixed plate was nice, but the food was only warm and not hot. The service was polite, friendly and fast.

Great food every time! We have come several times and it’s always good.

this is an excellent place with a very friendly Att. The food is very good, it looks better than in the photo. The prices are not more expensive than in the rest of the city and they have an excellent view with a very nice terrace. You don't feel pressured to consume anything and you even feel bad about how well they treat you and how cheap their dishes are and their service is better than in a five-star restaurant.

The best food ever!!!

This is a note after have been eating here, they have the best fresh food ever. I try it in Albania. The owner of the restaurant has a farm in which he produces everything that he uses in the restaurant. Incredible place to eat. You can never tell when you are walking up or passing bye, but is “a must try!””

for sure.!!

We went following guide recommandations, and we were not disappointed. Quite small roof terrasse (3 tables) with an incredible view, fresh squizzed juice and delicious food. Very nice people too, happy to answer questions and providing lots of information. Service was quite fast, which is not always the case I. The region, and everyone enjoyed the food.
I would recommend without hesitation.

Delicious fergese. Highly recommended to eat outside on the terrace. Greetings from Poland.

Delicious taste of traditional Albanian cuisine, and hospitality! The owner was really friendly. Would definitely recommend the mixed platter/set meal that allows you to taste a little bit of everything.

This is a great little family run restaurant. Delishes traditional albanian dishes high quality ingredients. The Lamb was superb juicy and tastefull. The family has their own farm and so the restaurant only use homegrown/made products. The housewine is good.
Sit down in the street or upstairs with a view on the street below.

The mix meal for 2 was amazing and the portion sizes were quite generous (Chicken casserole is not in the photo). Very good way of trying Albanian cuisine.

Amazing food, amazing family run business, halal food, freshly produced in their farm. Very friendly and welcoming husband and wife.

Nice little restaurant with a very traditional vibe. I was there on the off season last year and was alone in the restaurant. The owner was very attentive and made sure that everything was perfect. I had a salat with feta and olives and baked aubergines, very delicious! Also, bought some local wine there that I have yet to taste.

Very nice people. Family run restaurant like usual in Albania. The son can speak good English. The food was really good with plenty of options and good prices.

Tasty traditional food and many options for vegetarians and vegans. The share plate was a great way to taste 7-8 different dishes from the region. WiFi worked well and staff were helpful for directions to other places!

Beautiful place where traditional food is met with excellent service. I highly recommend this restaurant after a hike to the castle. The portions are more than generous and are very tasty. Congrats to the cook and serving staff!

Good food, just slightly burnt, but nothing to complain about. Very nice and friendly staff and a cosy little terrace upstairs to enjoy the view after a short hike up to the castle.
The bread served was just regular white bread which was a little disappointing but again, no biggie.

Truly awesome traditional food.
Alot of vegetarian options.
Location and ambiance is top class!!

Cute spot with a nice view, AC, wifi, and waiter went out of his way to charge our phones. Dishes were incredible. There is a sampler dish that is a bit more money but definitely worth it

Great traditional food served in a nice atmosphere with a wonderful view out the window. Two of us are vegetarian and the owner really made a great effort in serving us extra veggie dishes instead. Very friendly and food was delicious!

It was really good. We were 2 and we ordered a mix of different traditional Albanian dishes and all of them tasted very good. For all the food we got and taking into account that it was also tasty, it was worth it.

Great typical albanian food and "healthy" wine for a super price! (We woke up the day after without hangover!) Owners very friendly and if you become friends, you will get the house grappa! 😅
