Restaurant Ruci

Best authentic food in Albania. We had went with another couple and spent 13 euros pp for a three course meal and drinks. Real home cooked food that was delicious. I highly recommend the lamb, stuffed chicken fillet for entrees and for appetizers the Fiojera, saganaq, and homemade croquettes. Extremely friendly service and fresh home cooked food in Gjirokaster. Best food I had in Albania.

One of the best places I have been for food- absolutely delicious! Not a scrap of food was left

Lovely place, very good service and very good food. Loved the way the Wild Green Salad ( Horta ) was served: boiled greens on toast. Though I am not a big fan of meat I tried a bit of the Young Goat roast, and it was outstanding! The music could be better, there is a lot of Greek music which would suit this very nicely furnished restaurant better. Definitely will be coming back and will recommend.

It is a nice place to eat. Is more like a restaurant for Albanians, who like their meat and the food in there. Definitely not a turist trap. Nice size portions with tasty food. Service could be better. I recommend it 👌

Visited in Feb 2024..this was a recommendation from a Greek friend who lives in Terihat.

Excellent hospitality and Greek food

Best food for quite a long time, we live in UK, British people just don’t make good food, Albania people really knows how to cook and eat. And this is by far the best in Albania.

Excellent food gourmet style with fair prices. The building is beautiful. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The waiter spoke Albanian, English and Greek very well. The best restaurant I have tried in Albania!

Best restaurant around Gjirokastër! If you go to that city, this restaurant it's a must!!!

Peaceful place, very tasty food and good prices. Reccomended. I will be back 🙂

Best restaurant in all of Albania! The service might be a bit slow, but it was worth it!!!

Tasty & fresh dishes, good service and a quiet place.
When in Gjirokastra don't miss this place for lunch.

Great food and staff. Is one of the best places to eat traditional food.

More Greek than Albanian, but amazing food... you'll need a car to get here, but if you can make it over I suggest you do. Way better than eating in the bazaar.

Excellent food and services! We had an amazing experience with my family and we are looking forward to visit again! Spiros the owner hosted us with the kindest and the most professional way!

Literally an oasis in the desert of bad food. Exceptional ingredient quality, tasteful dishes and A+ plus service.
Undoubtedly one of the best restaurants I've visited worldwide.

An outstanding culinary experience, very tasty food and exquisite presentations. We meant it initially as a lunch stop on our way to the beautiful Albanian South East sea-side, but we learned that this restaurant deserves to be a destination in itself. Thank you, please keep up the good work and keep the standards high up!

Another food highlight of our Albania trip. It is a Greek restaurant and they serve amazing grilled food. The lamb was delicious, the burger tasted nice as well. The terrace is quiet and huge! 100% recommended for a stop-over.

Beautiful place, little further from the main road with delicious, yet not expensive food. Staff is very pleasant and towards the client. All this experience is supported by the sound of local music.

The best place in the midle of nature.
Food is very good and dhe hospitality is friendly.

Perfect place to have your Sunday lunch with your family and your friends
