Olivia's Restaurant in Durres Traditional Albanian Food
Attached to Olivia's Hill Hotel in Golem, just south of Durrës, this restaurant turns out traditional Albanian cooking to a fanbase nearly 900 reviews deep — stuffed eggplant gets mentioned again and again as the dish worth ordering. The grounds stretch across a pool, garden and terrace, plus a small playground and animal enclosure that make it one of the easier stops with young children in tow. A 4.9 average across that many reviews is a rare thing to sustain.

Durrës4.8Westwood Meathouse
Westwood Meathouse has built its reputation on a single dish: a perfectly seared steak that regulars in Durrës now rank as the country's best. On Rruga Egnatia, the room fills with the kind of buzz that comes from birthdays and anniversaries, and the truffle pasta gets almost as much praise as the meat. Waiters like Nani and Flori are name-checked again and again for turning a good dinner into a memorable one, which helps explain the 4.8 rating across more than 1,500 reviews.
Durrës5.0ArtePasta
ArtePasta, on Bulevardi Epidamn in Durrës, makes its pasta fresh each day and it shows — the perfect five-star average across 404 reviews is unusual for a spot this casual. An amatriciana leans closer to a simple ragù than the classic version, which trips up a few purists, but the pesto-and-bacon combination and the salads draw consistent praise, and pricing stays gentle enough for a return visit. Service is warm rather than formal, the kind of place where the staff remember what you ordered last time.
Durrës4.9ER FISH Restaurant
Tucked a street back from Durrës's busy seafront, ER FISH built its name the unglamorous way: the day's catch straight off the harbour boats and a menu that barely changes. Regulars order on repeat — shellfish risotto, fish grilled whole over coals, shrimp and mussels piled high, a Greek salad meant for sharing. Nearly 250 reviewers have pushed the rating to 4.9, and the reason shows on arrival: a generous floor staff keeps plates moving fast even on a packed night, with the same family warmth for regulars and first-timers alike.
