We went with 13 friends on a trip to Albania and got to experience a taste of the traditional Albanian cuisine and all the backstories of how the cuisine came to be! Sokol is an excellent chef and is very knowledgeable about the heritage of all the ingredients and tries to emphasize originality and the tradition of the Albanian people and their exciting history! I would recommend not only the Albanian culinary experience but the country as well because it is absolutely stunning and you have to see it for yourself!

This year, we spent our office trip in Albania. On the recommendation of a travel agency, we took a cooking class with Sokol. A very pleasant man. We immediately felt at home. Full of passion, he taught us traditional Albanian cuisine. Sokol prepared everything meticulously and taught us many tips and tricks. What an experience. We enjoyed it immensely and can only recommend it. Many thanks for the fantastic evening, Sokol!
Unforgettable experience

Magnificent place with beautiful cuisine, congratulations on the innovative format and concept. Sokol is very good at both cooking and explaining and making you participate in what he is doing explaining Albanian philosophy and traditions, with many historical cultural hints! But what are the masters are the food and flavors! I highly recommend to those who want to make an unforgettable experience. Bravo bravo bravo! See you soon!

Smiles, laughs and cheers and night. Everything comes together for an amazing Albanian evening. Sokol and his team guided us through a delicious menu and journey through the tastes of Albanina. Even our group of 20 people felt great in the in the space. The mix between socialising, cooking and enjoying the final result accompanied by a steady flow of wine made the evening.
Great food experience!
