Amazing Seafood Experience – Now Also in Saranda!I first discovered this seafood restaurant in Ksamil and was instantly impressed by the quality of the food, the freshness of the fish, and the warm hospitality. Everything tasted authentic and delicious, from the grilled octopus to the fresh catch of the day.Recently, I found out they’ve opened a new location in Saranda—and of course, I had to try it. I’m happy to say it’s just as amazing! Same great taste and same friendly service.If you’re a seafood lover, this place is a must-visit in both Ksamil and Saranda. Highly recommended!

My favourite restaurant in Saranda. Food was delicious, especially try seafood salad and fried squids. The service boy was very helpful and speaking very good English which is rare in Albania. Service was on time and house wine taste was ok. Price is really affordable compared to other restaurants and its quality. Also they serve rakia after dinner as a favour to us Strongly recommended for a cosy and delicious dinner
