The restaurants are incredibly inexpensive. It was not difficult to have a nice lunch for less than 500 lek, (only about 5 dollars) a huge dinner with appetizers and all the trimmings still only ran about 1000 to 1200 lek ($10-$12). Typical main courses were about 400 lek ($4) We tried lots of the local cosine and loved the mixing of unusual flavors with simmered sauces and oven-baked meat. Lamb is probably the most common meat served in Albania. Pork not so much since this is a predominately Muslin country. Our favorite was a fried white cheese with a blackberry sauce. Wow, my mouth loved that combination.
