Food heaven in Albania

The best food & wine experience in Albania

During a recent trip to Albania, I visited Agritourism Mrizi i Zanave, where Altin Prenga and his team keep alive the rich Albanian food and wine traditions. Altin relies on a community of local farmers to revitalize a gastronomic culture that was almost destroyed during the dictatorship. Altin has given back their roots to many people and his efforts are now paying as he’s gaining more and more international fame.

Mrizi i Zanave offers a panoramic restaurant serving excellent local food, indoor and outdoor reception areas, wine, cheese, meet, produce and jam production as well as sleeping facilities for families with kids.
