This is the most authentic cooking class in Tirana, set in one of Albania’s top traditional restaurants rather than a tourist style venue. Here, you’ll cook the true Albanian way using the sac, an age old method where dishes are slowly baked under hot coals, instead of a modern stove. It’s a genuine cultural encounter that goes beyond a simple class, offering you real flavors, real techniques, and a warm connection to Albania’s culinary soul

What To Expect

Step into the flavors and traditions of Albania with a hands on culinary experience in the heart of Tirana. Begin in iconic Skanderbeg Square, where your local host welcomes you behind the National Opera House before leading you to a unique, top favorite authentic restaurant. Tie on an apron and, under the guidance of skilled Albanian chefs, learn to prepare beloved dishes passed down through generations. From the crispy, golden layers of byrek, to the comforting tavë kosi with lamb, yogurt and eggs and the vibrant fërgesë of peppers, tomatoes, and cheese, each recipe tells a story of Albanian heritage. As you chop, stir and taste, the air fills with the aromas of fresh local ingredients. This isn’t just a cooking class it’s a cultural experience. Master time honored techniques, hear the stories behind the dishes and discover why food is such a powerful expression of Albanian hospitality. Finally, gather around the table to enjoy the feast you’ve prepared, sharing laughs, flavors and new memories. After your meal, your host will accompany you back to Skanderbeg Square.

    We had a great experience. The guide as well as the restaurant host and chef were very friendly. They not only showed us and told us how to prepare the various dishes, but they let us help prepare one of the dishes too!! It was so much fun!! And then we enjoyed eating what we made. It was very delicious!!! We would definitely do this again!!
