There are actually two Liburnias opposite each other, both very similar in style and food. Housed in a fine Ottoman abode and surrounded by pleasant walled gardens, Liburnia oozes atmosphere, whether in summer or winter. The food is a roll call of decent traditional Albanian food, including the usual tave (stews) and grilled meat. It’s not the best place in town to sample local delicacies, but a good choice given the setting.

One of the best restaurants in Prishtina for traditional Albanian food. I was told by an anthropologist (Canolli) that they cook food using ancient Albanian recipes here.
I think this was my favourite restaurant in Pristina. It is in a lovely old Ottoman House which roaring wood fires in winter and a pretty courtyard in summer. The food is really good I especially recommend the fried kofte (meatballs) in vegetable sauce and the fried marinated aubergine starter. The waiters are very friendly they seem to prefer it if you call ahead.
Lovely atmosphere - brought my family here and they absolutely loved it. The food is heavy - will recommend to test out all the warm starters instead with bread and salad in addition.
