I love brunching in Tirana! There’s just something fun about that mix of breakfast and lunch, especially when you get to try different places around the city. I guess you could say it’s become a bit of a hobby, finding new spots, comparing menus, and of course, going back to my favourites.
So if you’re anything like me, or if you’re spending some time in the city and looking for a good place to eat, here’s a list of my go-to brunch spots in Tirana.
La Corona
If I had to describe The Crown in three words, I would say it’s elegant, refined, and upscale. It’s located right across from the Toptani center, just a short walk from Skanderbeg Square. The menu brunch isn’t huge, but it makes for a tasty in-between meals (their breakfast menu is also worth trying, it follows an “all you can eat” style, and for just 1200 L you can pick whatever you like from the menu).
The interior is beautifully designed, and the view over Tirana makes it a great spot for those Insta-worthy photos.
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. I’ve been there twice and I love it! The setting is warm, inviting, and the menu is filled with delicious brunch alternatives.
The dessert I got the second time wasn’t impressive for my taste, but 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!
Curiosità: TëDuKtu translated in English, would be “I want you here”.

Giardino Millenium
If you’re looking for a brunch spot surrounded by greenery, Millenium Garden is the place to be. It is located on the street “Murat Toptani”, locally known as “Pedonalja”. The menu is colourful, and the place is perfect for spending some quality time on your off-days.
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.
Il menu brunch è altrettanto elegante, con piatti come avocado toast e panini gourmet che sono tanto Instagrammabili quanto gustosi. L'atmosfera rilassata lo rende un luogo ideale per incontrarsi con gli amici o per godersi una mattinata tranquilla da soli.

In
In’s is one of those places you end up going back to, whether it’s for the cozy vibe, the tasty food, or just how easy it feels to spend time there. Their brunch menu is super creative (and colourful), mixing international flavors with a touch of Albanian tradition.
If you go, definitely try the homemade lemonade, it’s fresh and tasty.
They’ve got two locations, one near Arena and another at Myslym Shyri, so it’s pretty convenient no matter where you are in the city.
Reviews: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.9/5.0) – Myslym Shyri
Reviews: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.8/5.0) – Arena

Noor Coffee & Fine Food
Noor is a popular and unique spot in the heart of Tirana, just a short walk from Skanderbeg Square. It stands out with its distinctive interior and exterior design, offering two floors with different vibes. The ground floor is cosy and warm, while the upper level opens up like a mini terrace. The menu is fresh and tasty, with well-balanced brunch options, light bites, and consistently good coffee.
Reviews: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4.5/5)
Sollevamento
Lift is a chic, contemporary spot with a beautiful terrace from where you can see one of the best areas in Tirana, the Arena. I absolutely love their crème brule toast; it is a must-try!
And if you prefer the salty options, 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 ha un ambiente molto carino, caratterizzato da un'atmosfera retrò. Si trova vicino alla zona dell'Arena di Tirana, uno dei migliori quartieri della città. Il menu offre una selezione di opzioni gustose tra cui scegliere. Pensate ai french toast, alle uova alla benedict, alle omelette, vegano toast, pancake, succhi bio e altro ancora.

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; especially their super tasty Nutella pancakes), and the vibe overall is just ideal for a Sunday out.

Since opening in 2018, Tony’s has been an excellent brunch spot 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.
