Reviewed January 18, 2023 via mobile

Never had tasted Albanian food before. Everything we tried was delicious. We ordered the hunter’s platter and some extra a la carte plates which were all delicious. I love the sharing concept and was happy to taste a bit of everything. The wines we had...were all really good as well, the ones I tasted were Kosovar wines which was also a first for me. Staff was friendly too. Thanks for the nice experience!More

We go very frequently to Bistro Illyrian because we feel great, eat the most delicious food, drinnk the most impressive wines and receive the best service. Gent might have great restaurants but overall the service is horrendous. Bistry Illyrian excells in its service. Egzon is...a great waiter and the cooks are just amazing. Highly recommended.More

This perfect little Bistro offers a wonderful menu that you need to experience rather than read about. Everything is super fresh, wonderfully seasoned and the calamari is the best I've had outside of Southern Spain. They have a very unique oven as well which gives...food a lovely smokey flavour. Prices are so fair for what you get as well as service being very friendly and helpful, and they are open all day until the evening. This is my new best place to eat in the city. Make it yours!!More
