The Best Seafood Restaurant on the Albanian Riviera

The Albanian Riviera stretches from Sarandë south to Ksamil and north to Himarë. Krahu i Shqiponjës sits at its warmest, most protected point - the Sarandë harbor - and that geography is a big part of why our seafood tastes the way it does.

We buy from the same three boats every morning. Ksamil mussels, Butrint oysters when the season allows, sea bream and sea bass from the deeper drop-offs south of the bay.

The kitchen keeps its hand light: crudo dressed with local olive oil, linguine tossed with clams and white wine, whole fish grilled over olive wood. Nothing hides behind sauce.

If you are driving the Riviera this summer, plan your dinner stop in Sarandë. Krahu i Shqiponjës is a short walk from the ferry pier and every taxi driver in town knows the door.
