The restaurant is appropriately situated in the only pedestrian street in Tirana, in the arts district, nestled between the National Theater, National Gallery of Arts and Millennium Cinema. The atmosphere is nice in the two times I visited in the last two weeks the service was fast and attentive.
As Asian choices in Tirana are quite limited this restaurant definitely ranks top for now.

I had the prawn tortillas for a starter and the crab with panko rice main, honestly, hands down, the best oriental food I’ve tried yet. The flavours were amazing 👏🏽 hats off to the chef. The food was great, the location and views are great, It’s just unfortunate that there was no drinks menu, we had to have the waitress try and reel off the list and there was a communication barrier with the waitress which made it a bit difficult. Aside from that, great place to eat.

Tirana you keep surprising us, another restaurant that delivers on service, food, atmosphere and beautiful wine. Opium is located just off a lovely walking street near Skanderbeg Square, the restaurant is full of ambiance and great design, surrounded by nature in the heart of the city. The food is incredibly fresh, absolutely delicious and great sizing serves. You will not be disappointed, we opted for a range of dishes to sample the menu and each and every dish was mouthwatering. We were very surprised to receive a delicious dessert from the kitchen to end our wonderful dining experience. The team were full of personality and great to chat with, excellent service. We enjoyed a long lazy lunch enjoying Japanese food in Tirane complimented with great value French wine.
