Restaurant ESMIANI

Maybe it doesn’t look very attractive but the food and service are really nice.
Atmosphere is local.
The waiter woman was very nice and pleasant. Food was very tasty like at home and prices are more than affordable.
Highly recommend, feels like home. Accept only cash.

This was the best restaurant I visited in Albania. I ordered seafood linguine, octopus, and squid—all fresh and amazing. The lady who took my order was one of the nicest people I've met in Albania; she explained the food with a smile. The total bill came to 27 euros. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Vlore.

No kidding...This is like finding a superb bargain Michellin restaurant. The bonus of a welcoming smile was lovely. House red wine was superb, and produced by the family. The seating is not Michelin class, but in that is part of the disguise. Seven dishes... Greek salad. Grilled white cheese. Seafood linguini. Calamari. French fries. Sour cream....and 'Crab Balls' (give them a miss...lol) Half litre of red wine Superb value all round at £13 each. Highly recommended.

The food was better than at some fancy and expensive restaurants. I loved the fried sea food mix becasuse it was light and I tasted a fish not just fried crumb. The salad and pasta were also delicious. Wine was great and tasteful. Do not turn off the orange plastic tables, I highly recommend this place.

I’m not lying, this is perfect seafood pasta in my life!! I traveling over 4month and I tried eat pasta so many countries but here pasta is best number one!!! 💯💯💯

I took suggestion packet nr. 3 from the menubook (images) & Korca beer. The meal was good and certainly enough for one person. Personnel was nice and the atmosphere quite cosy. And for me, as a Greek fan, part of background music - a few Greek songs in Albanian - was honey to my ears ;-)

Food was super tasty and service was welcoming & fast. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh sea food. Had a Greek salad, grilled sea bream and a water for 1100 lek, good value

The fish is very tasty and well cooked, the lady serving is very humble and smiling we enjoyed everything and prices are very nice

Great food! Everything was delicious, but the kebab was incredible, the salad was very fresh and perfectly seasoned ... the tomatoes were the best I've had in years. The service was great - quick and friendly. I logged the vegetable soup too!

Traditional, delicious flavours and fresh, massive portions; you can taste that everything is homemade. Lovely friendly staff and homely vibe. Well worth a visit for delicious authentic tasting food. Great coffee, too and very reasonably priced!

Amazing home like food with big portions
Place may look kinda obscure but that’s hidden gem behind of corner of main, busy street where many locals also sits. One of best so far food I had in Albania
I have to edit my previous opinions on places I visited

We ordered octopus & kalamari & fries & salad and all were really good! Service was really welcoming & warm.

Very good place to eat! Everything very fresh and delicious. Good price and big meals. Our childrdn really like everything. A lot of locals :)

Good food, fresh and tasty. Reasonable prices, in our case 2 adults + 2 children around 10 years old, made Lunch + drinks for 2500 Leks 🙂

Good atmosphere and delicious food
Proftional staff and Quick service.
For the price I didn't expect this quality of food.
We tried sea food, it's amazing.
I recommend without hesitation.

What can I say...really must be the best value food I have found in Albania so far! I chose the "package 4" option which included Greek salad, creamy carbonara pasta and some chicken in a delicious yellow sauce and a large beer for just 11 quid! Tasty food and friendly service - perfect blend. Great restaurant!

The kebab and the seafood pasta was delicious, and it was super chep for this big portion of food. The staff is super nice and helpful I would not miss this place if you are visiting the city.

Thank you! Best service we had in Albania! Delicious food and very well priced
