Restaurant Puri
This welcoming spot is as close to a North American “diner vibe” as anywhere we ate in our six weeks in Albania. Full of regulars
We take for granted our modern access to a rich variety of ingredients and international cuisines. The abundance of our culinary experiences have been made possible by a long past of exploration, war, trade, politics, religion, social culture and environment. Every ingredient we use, every plate of food we are served, is part of the fascinating tapestry of human history. Your food has a story to tell.
You have to taste a culture to understand it.
