About

ALBI is a casual restaurant on Rruga Antipatrea in Berat's old town, open from 9 AM to nearly midnight. The menu centers on Albanian standards—byrek, meatballs, stuffed eggplant—executed without pretense. The owner is known for warmth and generosity, often sending out a free appetizer as you settle in. The room itself is genuinely cozy, the kind of place where solo diners feel as welcome as groups, and where the noise level stays low enough to actually hear conversation.
