Eating Well for Less in Sarandë
Sarandë is not expensive, but per-kilo fish can surprise you if you do not ask the weight. Here is how to eat properly without overspending.
Where the value is
Fixed-price dishes — pasta, risotto, grilled chicken, salads, byrek, soups — are the predictable part of any Albanian menu. Seafood pasta gives you the day's catch at a plate price rather than a kilo price.
Sharing is the local habit and the cheapest way to eat well: a spread of starters and one large dish between two goes further than two mains.
Practical tips
Always ask the weight and price of a whole fish before it is cooked — every honest kitchen, including ours, will tell you. Lunch is generally calmer and lighter on the bill than dinner. Prices are in Lek; paying in Lek or by card beats an informal euro rate.
Tap water is fine to request; house wine by the carafe is good value on this coast.
