Nice risotto, service could be better

After eating mostly stuffed peppers and aubergine, it was nice to have something else to eat. We went here for lunch and since I was the only vegan, we wanted to have a mix of the vegan and non-vegan bruschettas as a starter. We even offered to pay the more expensive price, but the waiter said they couldn't do it since then they "would have to do it for every client". The vegan bruschettas also tasted quite bland without any olive oil or garlic. I was however very happy with the vegan risotto. I liked the taste very much and to my opinion it had enough vegetables. Weird was the fact that they don't have coffee because they "are a restaurant so they focus on food".

One of the better looking places in Himarë

This restaurant has a cosy vibe to it, with nice outdoor seating, and just a street away from the crowded and loud boulevard.

They serve one vegan main, a risotto. A little on the salty side and does not include many vegetables, but I guess it’s the best you can get in all of Himarë for a nice dining out experience.

There’s also a vegan bruschetta option as a starter which I would recommend. They gave it a twist using cucumber. Nice for a change!

I’d have given it four stars if there were a bit more options, but overall I’d recommend this place anyway.

Only have the vegan risotto as a main

The risotto was nice and creamy. My girlfriend actually thought it's too creamy, I liked the creaminess. There could have been more veggies in it though. And more main dishes that are vegan

Vegan risotto

They only have one vegan main - the vegan risotto but it's labelled vegan! It's 800 lek.
There wasn't many vegetables in it but it tastes super creamy! Maybe it's made with butter and stock. They have a couple of salads and there's also free bread.

Vegan risotto and salads

It’s nice to have clearly identified vegan options. The risotto was nice, it’s not full of flavour but is far from bad. good price and fair servicing size.

Nice modern restaurant with vegan options

Food was fresh and flavourful. Delicious "Himara Salad" with oranges, onions and olives and vegan risotto fullof veg. We paid 2150 Leke for the salad, wild cabbage dish, the risotto, fried potatoes and 0.5l of house wine.

Pros: Food tastes really nice, Fresh ingredients, Understood what vegan means and helped to chose

Good try

First time I saw a “vegan” dish in an Albanian restaurant - so that’s nice😄happy that the evolution is finally arriving here.
The grilled veggies were fine, could have been grilled a bit longer, it tasted more like the plate only walked by the fire ;)
The vegan risotto surprisingly tasted like basil infused oil mostly. Barely any veggies but the rice tasted creamy enough. I did need to ask for salt and pepper.. in general maybe they were scared that vegans don’t like spices?😉
Definitely an option for a vegan dish but don’t expect all too much 🌱
