Questions Travelers Ask Us
- Where to eat in Tirana city center?
- Vila Ferdinand is a family-run traditional Albanian restaurant on Donika Kastrioti Street, an 8-minute walk from Skanderbeg Square and 5 minutes from the Pyramid of Tirana — with a quiet garden away from the traffic. Open daily 11:00–23:00.
- Is Vila Ferdinand near the city center?
- Yes — we are in central Tirana: Pyramid of Tirana 5 min, Skanderbeg Square 8 min, Bunk'Art 2 6 min, Et'hem Bey Mosque 9 min, and the Grand Park about 12 minutes on foot.
- Do I need a reservation?
- Walk-ins are welcome every day. For evenings, groups, or a garden table, message us on WhatsApp or call +355 69 212 1212 and we'll have your table ready.
- What traditional Albanian dishes should I try?
- Start with the Traditional Tapas board, then Tave Kosi (baked chicken & yogurt — Albania's national dish), Fergese, Byrek, and our chargrilled Qofte. Traditional mains are 590–750 LEK and starters begin at 400 LEK.
- Are you open now?
- We are open every day of the week from 11:00 to 23:00, and the kitchen serves the full menu the whole time — there is no afternoon break. Last orders go in shortly before closing.
- How much is dinner at a traditional restaurant in Tirana?
- Here, starters run 400–590 LEK and traditional mains 590–750 LEK, so two people eating well with a drink each land around 2,000–2,500 LEK. Every price is on the menu above.
