    I was there in non-busy season, so I was alone in the restaurant for the whole dinner time. The owner is the cook and the waiter and he is very kind. Although he can’t speak much English, we manage to talk by using google translation. I’ve learned a lot from him about Albania’s history and culture. The food is fine, not surprising. Maybe it is because of the timing I visit, most of the dishes are not as fresh as I had in other places(Tirana). Glad there’s a half of lemon which can cover off the fishy taste. However I have 5 stars for his hospitality and service. Oh if you are lucky, you can get the inner room, it looks very cozy and well decorated.

    We had lunch here on a sunny Sunday afternoon. at the end of April. The restaurant can be found on Google Maps, but it is very easy to walk past-it - doesn't have a huge sign nor bill-board menu outside. It is well known and liked by locals. It wasn't busy when we visited. There is soft and pleasant ethnic music playing, smokers seem to go outside. There are several rooms. It's a family-owned restaurant with a long history. It's an extremely pleasant place to dine. There is a varied menu, depending on season and markets. My wife had wild duck, in an enjoyably and different style- not the usual French presentation of a single rare duck breast. Here there was a thick spicy sauce that did not overwhelm the delicious dark meat. Also on the menu were various game dishes (rabbit ,deer, boar) and the famous Ohrid Lake trout "koman". There were many intriguing seafood offerings including eel, carp, roe, and a type of lake perch. For the more conservative diner there was pork, chicken, and beef offerings.

In season they also have listed various organ meat dishes. Not every menu item is always available, of course. The food is locally sourced (like everything in Albania). More than anything- the ambience, the food, and the entire slow dining experience reminded us both of small family run "inns/ country cafes, or grills" in rural southern France. Very reasonable prices also. A salad/meze for two, a half carafe of wine, a large beer, and a duck dish, and grilled porkchops, a full round loaf of warm bread (the best we've had in Albania) . Our entire pleasant and leisurely meal came to 2800 LEK, (approx. 25Euro/27USD) We recommend Pogradeci/ Poradeci Restaurant strongly.!

    The very traditional ambience and the typical pogradeci dishes they cook made our day even more beautiful. It was our second time in this place and it is amazing. We will be back again.

    A hidden gem, was recommended this restaurant by local guy, this restaurant doesn’t have a menu, you just go in and they will tell you what they can cook for you that day, traditional and local Albanian dishes, really really nice experience, will definitely return.

    if you come to poradeci, this is the best place to be for foodies, home made food, the koran (local fish) is to die for:

    Very nice owner (as others wrote, he’s doing basically everything), local food at reasonable prices (two fish plates, salad, beer and cola 32 euros)

    Our family visited this charming place on December, 12th and it was definitely one of the greatest experience we had ever! The owner, waiter and chef roles were played by the same person - it was like you visited your grandpa for a dinner. All dishes were delivered surprisingly very fast and all words were lost when I tried absolutely magnifique grilled Ohrid trout (koran) and the stewed duck. Prague is popular because of their duck dishes? Ha-ha-ha. Pogradec is the duck's world center :) What could be added? You must (!) visit this place if you're in town. Ah, completely forgot - mulberry moonshine was delicious. Many thanks to my wife who found this spot and the owner who made our Monday evening!

😠 The service is average. They don't pay attention to customers at all. They offer their duck specialty every time, but frankly it's not very good! Pasta is the worst I've ever tasted in my whole life. I didn't eat them. But it just made the waiter smile when I pointed out that it was disgusting. RUN...

👍👍 The food was excellent, and the service was very attentive and efficient. The waiter spoke sufficient English. We have sat in the patio - a very good spacious and shaded patio.

👍👍 Had a delicious dinner. The fish was outstanding, as was the meat platter. For unaware non-albanians like us: vegetables or filling sides do not accompany meat dishes. Therefore, I would recommend ordering something "green" on the side. Service was outstanding, David was very attentive and well-spo...
