Mullixhiu Tirana

The new Albanian cuisine

Ingrid from Tirana

I'm such a curious one: I'm constantly searching for new spots and new places. The places I love in this city are always about what I appreciate the most: Great food, art, books and music. After 15 years of working in Marketing, during the pandemic, I decided to change my path completely, and now I am a proud small business owner struggling with everyday challenges :) I love this city...
"Mullixhiu is one of the first restaurants that started the farm-to-table movement in Tirana, and it offers a tasting menu with a traditional touch."

Mullixhiu serves dishes from the past but presented in a new light. Chef Bledar Kola, who was also trained at Noma and is a well-known personality in Tirana, recreates his dishes by combining local seasonal ingredients with classical techniques. Mullixhiu is indeed one of the first restaurants that started the farm-to-table movement and has pioneered this type of Nouvelle Cuisine in Tirana since 2016.

The location and the ambiance are very rustic and minimalistic with a traditional flair.

Now they offer a tasting menu with a traditional touch and an interesting Albanian Wine List. Mullixhiu is a more refined experience compared to what is usually considered traditional food in Tirana, so if you are up for a nicer - less casual - dinner, this may well be your spot.

I'm such a curious one: I'm constantly searching for new spots and new places. The places I love in this city are always about what I appreciate the most: Great food, art, books and music. After 15 years of working in Marketing, during the pandemic, I decided to change my path completely, and now I am a proud small business owner struggling with everyday challenges :) I love this city because it is constantly evolving (and has fantastic weather, too :)). There is still so much to do to bring out the best in the people and the city.
