Permet’s Top 5 Food & Drink Spots: A Tasty Tour

Permet, Albania, that quiet southern town hugged by mountains, very well may just be one of Albania’s hidden treasures, too it’s almost like folks mainly visit for the gorgeous views, but frankly, I think the food scene there, very much underrated, arguably offers just as big of a draw. So, you’re craving a genuine taste of Albania? Here, I mean in Permet, is where the heart of Albanian cuisine starts to really reveal itself, and frankly, you won’t find fancy frills here; you’re much more apt to come across honest-to-goodness flavors and cooking that sticks to the ribs.

1. Antigonea Restaurant: Traditional Flavors with a View

Now, first up is Antigonea Restaurant, and to be honest, that location alone? Spectacular! As a matter of fact, perched on a hillside, just a bit outside Permet, this place seems to look over the whole town and, might I add, that dramatic Vjosa River Valley, yet the food is where Antigonea, more or less, just grabs you, you know? In other words, it offers a proper showcase of local dishes. You want traditional fare? This could be your spot, so try their Oda dish – a hearty stew simmered, that is, until it’s incredibly tender and rich.

Don’t get me started on the homemade cheeses and cured meats; seriously, these local treats are quite a lovely start to any meal, yet, you know, maybe you’re someone who savors the total eating experience. Basically, with Antigonea, you enjoy tasty local eats along with a view to write home about.

2. Trifilia Restaurant: A Taste of Local Hospitality

Trifilia Restaurant, well, this comes highly suggested too, it’s almost got a reputation that seems to echo throughout Permet, and for great reason, I think, so, you can typically find this gem nestled right in the town center, by the way, so this fact alone, might makes it a great place if you just want something convenient. Honestly, Trifilia seems to welcome you in with the friendliest of faces and a menu of, just about, everything traditional you’d hope to find; it features pispili (cornbread) and jahni (meat and rice casserole).

I do feel that this place just about hits the mark if you need something rich, fulfilling, and well, very, Albanian, so their portions seem to lean toward the generous side too, it’s almost like it matches the local’s hospitality, very warming and moreish. Any way, they are also able to bring a modern approach to traditional meals, in some respects, this creates something fairly new, and I think it gives a depth that, I believe, separates them. All things considered, Trifilia is not only about food; actually, it’s also about experiencing the warmth and inviting aspect of Permet’s culture.

So, maybe if you’re a wine lover or somebody hoping to sample what is quite possibly Permet’s best grape beverages, then, I think Kantina Permeti, a fantastic winery found locally, can just satisfy that need. It is likely that wine production comes secondary as Permeti; the winery is in operation to produce many of their local favorite tastes and mixes; nonetheless, to enjoy good snacks and drinks goes hand in hand for a fulfilling local outing.
