Restaurants in Pristina
Albanian-Kosovar food is a joyous celebration of fresh produce more than often washed down by ever-present raki (anise-flavoured spirit). The influx of foreign workers has added an international twist and sophistication to dining out in a city overflowing with restaurants and bars.
The restaurants below have been grouped into three price categories:
Expensive (over €35)
Moderate (€15 to €35)
Cheap (up to €15)
These prices are for a three-course meal for one with half a bottle of wine or equivalent. Tipping isn't compulsory though a gratuity of about 10% is appreciated - although not at take-away burek (savoury pastry) or qebaptore (kebab) outlets.
Vila Gërmia
Price:
Expensive
With its Swiss chalet-style appearance, this is one of Pristina's oldest and most respected restaurants, located in the delightful setting of Gërmia Park. Vila Gërmia offers a wide selection of Balkan dishes and steaks with western-influenced rich sauces. Dishes such as sea bass in garlic sauce and their fresh trout make Vila Gërmia one the city's best fish options. Excellently priced set meal combinations.

Tiffany's
Price:
Expensive
Traditional Albanian cuisine is served in this modest yet cosy setting where flavoursome food packs a real punch. Dishes change daily and it can be hard to get a table, so get there early. Besides fresh tasty salads and small-eats such as sarma (dolmades), Tiffany's is renowned for moreish lamb dishes.

Samurai
Price:
Moderate
The irony of eating sushi in a coast-free Balkan state is almost as delicious as the cuisine on offer. Bouts of karaoke do not detract from authentic mixed sushi platters and yakitori chicken alongside familiar offerings of miso soup and maki rolls. Sip Japanese sake from a prodigious menu of cocktails.
