In Tirana for fine dining (Mullixhiu, Salt, Padam) — yes, 2–3 days ahead in season. Coastal taverns and beach club lunches generally accept walk-ins. For Friday/Saturday dinner anywhere on the Riviera in July–August, calling ahead is safer.
10% in restaurants is the local standard for good service — round up the bill. In casual cafés or beach shacks, just rounding up is fine. Cash tips are appreciated more than card-added tips. Tipping is never mandatory; nobody will chase you.
Vegetarian, yes — every menu has fërgesë, byrek with cheese or spinach, salads, lentil dishes. Vegan is harder; specifically ask "pa qumësht, pa vezë, pa djathë" (no milk, no eggs, no cheese). Tirana now has dedicated vegan spots (Bonjo, Era veg menu).
