Otium - Tirana

Fantastic place with exceptionally delicious food! A must when you are in Tirana!

Had the best lunch at Tirana, the owner was really kind and gentle with us and recommended some amazing dishes. The only place in Tirana where they knew what gluten free food means.High quality food and a very quiet place. 100% recommendable!

I can't understand the reviews that speak of sublime food: you eat a traditional fusion blended cuisine discreetly well: where something is successful, something much less (for example risotto was altogether good but very uncomfortable). Let's say that if I had to consider only food, in relation to the price (which is quite higher than the average of tyrant, almost double) I would have been uncertain if to give 3 or 4 stars. Unfortunately the service was something to leave without words: We remember that an Italian counterpart would be a restaurant from 80/100€ per person. thinking about this, the waiter (only in service on Saturday evening) apologizes not to know the menu well justifying himself saying that he has been there for two days, which already lays bad. practically things sorted on the menu was nothing. We were forced to take what the waiter told us, without even giving us the choice between first and starter. and for the second we had two choices. You're taking me to the menu? Why not make a daily card? but it's nothing yet. we ask a glass to the mescita and available we have only 1 white: being present practically only meat dishes we would like a red, but also there amen. I explain that they are intolerant to the cheese and in the appetizers is full of cheese. Okay, lost in traslation, can happen. Although we were few tables, the dishes were shot only on explicit request, we could have stacked them one on the other. the thing that sent me on the parrot was that first and second appetizers arrived practically at the same time. I repeat, imagine an Italian restaurant from 80€/100€ per person because the target is the one in which things like that happen, all together. As a cherry on the cake the prices of dishes on the account did not match those indicated in the menu. when I asked for explanations I was answered that the menu is only indicative. We don't talk about big differences, at the end of the fair it was a matter of differences recently, so I paid and amen but making it aware that it was really very strange. I hope for them to have been me very but very unfortunate, otherwise I do not understand how they still have customers

We were little hesitant about the place due to some reviews, but in the end it was the best dining experience we had in Tirana. The food was exceptional, the service on top level and we had an amazing foodie night.Perhaps only comment is, that the selection of wine was a bit limited for a venue of such a high standard, but in the end we were content with the red house wine.In terms of price, the restaurant now has them on the menu and are very reasonable, in the end we paid 60 EUR for 2 people for 2 hours of dining. I can very much recommend that you come here for dinner while visiting Tirana.

Something that is unique to go by chance and see a restaurant, and spontaneously decide to find an absolute jewel. This French restaurant is fabulously fine food best, Michael managed the front of the house, has worked all over the world and helped us navigate the wine list and menu, he was also a pleasure to chat with. The food presentation was impeccable, the flavors and quality were perfection. We were also pampered with a dessert plate at the end, it was an absolute joy. A big thank you from both of us. The restaurant is very cozy and perfect for a long lazy lunch or dinner, in a side street in the heart of Tirane. We will definitely be back in Tirane.
