Traditional Food and Drinks

The dishes of Albania have their roots with the ancient Ottoman Empire. The combination of richly fertile land, proximity to the sea, and blurry cultural lines with their neighbors have culminated in a modern cuisine that is both diverse and simple. Modern day influences include Greece, Italy, and Turkey.

Meat and vegetables are the staples, along with heavy stews, pickled cabbage, feta cheese, bread, rice, and smoked meat. The most popular veg grown are eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives (which accompany most meals), and legumes.  Very Mediterranean indeed!  Vegetarians be warned.  There are a lot of salads in your future – luckily, there’s plenty of fresh produce to enjoy.
