Bar Restaurant Rilinda
Set directly on the sand facing the three islands, Rilinda in Ksamil has built one of the Riviera's biggest followings — over 1,500 reviews — on a formula that pairs sea views with a kitchen that doesn't coast on the location. The Rilinda salad, grilled fish with fried potatoes and a seafood risotto get named again and again, and reviewers mention small touches like complimentary ginger shots and a creamy house hummus with warm bread. At 4.5 stars, the waves-while-you-dine setting is the draw, but the food earns its own praise.

Ksamil4.9Grill Zone
Grill Zone is Ksamil's answer to the endless beach-town seafood menus — a proper meat house a short walk inland on Rruga Butrinti. Regulars come for the young lamb and beef off the grill: tender, generously seasoned, and priced well below what the 4.9 rating would suggest. Service is quick and genuinely friendly, the room stays clean even at peak season, and it handles both a fast lunch and a long dinner. With over 7,000 reviews, it's one of the most trusted grills on the Riviera.
Ksamil4.8Yakuza Umi
Yakuza Umi built its name on a menu few other places on this coast attempt — proper sushi and poke bowls alongside grilled seabream and crab croquettes, served in a nautical-themed dining room where the table settings get almost as much praise as the food. Portion size and kitchen timing draw the rare complaint, but with 1,770 Google reviews averaging 4.8, the consensus among Rruga Butrinti's steady stream of diners is that the crispy shrimp sushi and tuna poke bowl are worth any occasional wait.
Ksamil4.7Traditional House
Traditional House earns its Ksamil following on a short list of dishes reviewers keep circling back to — a seafood risotto and, above all, a Shrimp Saganaki that more than one visitor called the best thing they ate in Albania. Crab and pasta both hold up, though the hamburger draws a shrug by comparison. Service is quick and warm on most nights, but at least one dinner around nine went sideways with a slow, understaffed table turnover. Across 1,732 reviews the average sits at 4.7, suggesting that night was the exception.
