It’s not the first time I’ve said that good food is good mood and this belief turned out to be true once again if I think about my trip to Ksamil. Besides its gorgeous beaches and amazing landscapes, this small Albanian village is blessed with a significant number of good restaurants.
I must confess that I treated myself with different fish and seafood specialties during the week I spent in Ksamil and I can honestly say that food was another aspect that really impressed me there. It is true that I did some research on the internet and I chose only the best-rated restaurants in this lovely village, but in a nutshell, food was simply delicious and far beyond my expectations.
Even though the restaurants I chose were among the most expensive in the village, all the dishes were in my opinion very affordable. I decided to choose the restaurants situated on the shore, because I wanted to enjoy the lovely views of the amazing beaches for which Ksamil has started to gain its notoriety. What can be more wonderful than tasting a delicious meal while you are enjoying a lovely sunset? It was a real pleasure to admire the colors of the sky which perfectly blended with the smell and the taste of my food.
As I have already said, the Albanian cuisine really impressed me and I’m inclined to think that the restaurants I have chosen had a great influence on my opinion. In case you are one of those people who love trying local cuisines, I want to recommend three restaurants in Ksamil, which I’m sure will offer you a great culinary experience:
1.Beach Bar Restaurant Korali is one of the best restaurants in Ksamil. Situated on the shore of the beautiful Ksamil Beach, on Rruga e Shetitores Street, 9706, this restaurant turned out to be a perfect choice. I still remember the delicious mussels and the tasty sea bream which totally impressed me. When it comes to mussels, I can honestly say that they were the best mussels I have eaten so far.
The restaurant offers a lot of options you can choose from and it caters for all tastes. From tasty fish and seafood specialties, to appetizing lamb dishes and moussaka, all the food is simply delicious. I’m sure that whatever you choose from the menu of Korali will taste great, especially if you have a glass of local wine or beer with it.
In addition, you will have the chance to enjoy a great view from the terrace of Korali and to rest in a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The icing on the cake is the kindness and the professionalism of the staff who will impress you with a perfect service.

2.Guvat Mediterranean Bar & Restaurant is another great option in case you want to treat yourself with a variety of local dishes. It was the first place where I ate in Ksamil and it really impressed me with its delicious food. A lot of fish, seafood and meat specialties, delicious pasta and appetizing salads are among the dishes that Guvat urges you to try. This restaurant is situated near Korali, on Three Islands Street, 1220, on the same shore.
Here, I ate an incredibly tasty seafood mix, delicious seafood pasta, savory fish, oyster and mussel specialties and I also tried their local beer and wine. It was a great experience to combine the pleasure of eating these delicious dishes with the one of enjoying lovely views and captivating sunsets. The terrace is embellished with a lot of plants and colored flowers and gives you the feeling of inner peace and relaxation. In addition, the atmosphere is simply perfect to rest after a full day of sightseeing under the hot sun rays.

3.Last but not least, I would like to recommend Gjiri I Hartes Restaurant which is another option, especially if you love oysters and mussels. The restaurant is situated in Ksamil 1336, somewhere on the outskirts of the village, close to the beach with the same name.
Gjiri I Hartes is famous for the fact that it has its own oysters and mussels farm. Even though it should have been normal to try oysters and mussels there, I decided to have two fish specialties and I don’t regret it at all. I don’t remember the names of those fish, but I do know that they can only be found in that area of the country.
Besides fish, oyster and mussel specialties, Gjiri I Hartes also offers a variety of seafood specialties, meat dishes, salads, soups and other local dishes. The terrace of the restaurant is embellished with a lot of nice objects and beautiful flower pots, which make it a perfect space to rest and relax. The image of the gorgeous beach is a perfect scenery you can admire while having a delicious meal. In addition, the service in this restaurant is impeccable and the staff is really kind and well-trained.

These are just my favorite restaurants in Ksamil, but I’m sure that there are many more to discover in this lovely Albanian village. In case you don’t want to take any risks, you can definitely have a meal in these restaurants because they won’t let you down. I assure you that you won’t regret eating here because they will offer you a perfect culinary experience.
