My Top 10 Brunch Spots in Tirana You Need to Try

Brunching is a beloved weekend ritual for many, and it’s simple to tell why. There’s something special about having the perfect ‘in-between’ meal served in a relaxed, often stylish setting at least once per week.

To help you make the most out of this experience, we’ve made a list of 10 of the best brunch spots in Tirana that you should try.

The Crown

If we had to describe The Crown in three words, we would say it’s elegant, refined, and upscale. This spot is located in front of the “Toptani” centre, just a few minutes from the Skanderbeg square. The Crown offers a lovely brunch menu and a nice view of Tirana, perfect to take some nice pics. Whether you’re feeling the classic eggs Benedict, French toast, honey pancakes or another interesting option, we’re sure you’ll love your time at The Crown. Just remember to book in advance if you decide to brunch there!

TëDuKtu

TëDuKtu is a cosy spot that feels like a home away from home. The setting is warm, inviting, and the menu is filled with delicious brunch alternatives. The egg benedict with salmon (the pic above) was super tasty and definitely a must-try! And don’t forget to try their coffee to complete the brunching experience right!

Fun Fact: TëDuKtu translated in English would be “I want you here”.

Millenium Garden

If you’re looking for a brunch spot surrounded by greenery, Millenium Garden is the place to be. It is located in the street “Murat Toptani”, locally known as “Pedonalja”. The menu is colourful, and the place is perfect for spending quality time with friends or loved ones. Plus, it’s very near the main attractions, so you have the chance to explore the area and probably even have a coffee in one of the popular spots, such as “Pedonalja” or “Kalaja e Tiranës” (the Castle of Tirana).

Mugo

Mugo is where modern design meets culinary excellence. Known for its sleek interiors and minimalist decor, this spot might soon be one of your favourites. It’s located in Blloku district, one of the most popular neighbourhoods in the city. The brunch menu is equally stylish, featuring dishes like avocado toast and gourmet sandwiches that are as Instagrammable as they are tasty. The laid-back vibe makes it an ideal spot for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet morning alone.

In’s

In’s has a very interesting brunch concept. It offers visitors the chance to try international flavours with a touch of Albanian tradition. If you go there, make sure to try their tasty homemade lemonade. The place isn’t very large, and you might also have to wait for a table as this spot is prefered and gets populated.

Çoko 

Çoko is another go-to brunch spot in Tirana located in the Blloku district. There, you’re about to find some interesting creative takes on brunch classics you won’t regret trying. Check out their menu here. The colourful decor also adds to the fun atmosphere it creates, perfect for a brunch date!

Lift

Lift is a chic, contemporary spot with a beautiful terrace from where you can see one of the best areas in Tirana, the Arena. We absolutely love their creme brule toast; it is a must-try! And if you don’t have a sweet tooth, you can always check other alternatives on the menu. The clean, modern design of the space, combined with its light-filled interior, creates a refreshing, uplifting environment.

Miro

Miro has a very cute setting characterised by a retro vibe. It’s located near the Arena area in Tirana, one of the best neighbourhoods in the city. The menu features a selection of tasty options to choose from. Think French toast, egg benedicts, omelettes, vegan toasts, pancakes, bio juices and more.

Lé Bazal

Lé Bazal is a stylish and contemporary brunch spot with French vibes. The ambience is perfect for taking some nice photos. The brunch options are delicious (difficult to resist; their super tasty Nutella pancakes), and the vibe overall is just ideal for a Sunday out.

Tony’s

Since opening in 2018, Tony’s has been an excellent brunch (but not the only one) in Tirana, praised for its American cuisine, great food, and service. Located by the Nobis Center and Piramida, Tony’s offers a seasonal menu of quality fresh produce. The restaurant focuses on fresh ingredients and made-to-order dishes, including fresh juices, coffee, and a varied menu for all meals.

Exploring new brunch spots in a new city is always exciting. We hope you get the chance to visit at least one of these places and if you do so, we’d love to know your opinion!
