Cafe Botanica is a well-located restaurant right by Skanderbeg Square, making it a great spot for a coffee with a view or a casual meal in the center of Tirana.

The space has a nice design with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the terrace is ideal for sitting and watching the square. It works well for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but also as an easy stop for a drink or coffee while exploring the city.

The menu offers a wide mix of Albanian, Mediterranean, and Western dishes, and while the food is more reliable than standout, it’s a solid option in such a central location. Prices are mid-range, usually around €10–20 per person.
