Restaurant Arbri is located a few kilometers outside Shkodër city center on the road towards Shirokë, making it an easy stop along Shkodra Lake.

It’s best known for its traditional Shkodran and freshwater fish dishes, and the standout here is the tavë krapi: a local specialty made with carp baked in the oven with a rich sauce (often including tomato, garlic, herbs). It’s one of the most iconic dishes in the region and definitely worth trying here.

The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, with a relaxed, slightly rustic atmosphere and views of the surrounding greenery.

Prices are mid-range, and portions and quality are both good. It can get quite busy on weekends, so going a bit earlier or booking ahead is a good idea.
