One of the best farm-to-table options in Tirana, the food pouring out of the kitchen in this place near the Tanners' Bridge never disappoints. Overseen by Avni, unquestionably one of the finest chefs in the country, Mrizi i Zanave specialises in classic local dishes with some modern twists. Relatively quiet during the week, this restaurant explodes on weekend evenings when large families come to forget about their waistlines and dance the night away to live traditional Albanian music. Not to be confused with their restaurant in northern Albania.
