In the heart of southern Albania lies Përmet, an ancient town surrounded by wild nature.
The Hotova Fir National Park, the largest in Albania, is famous for its forests, canyons, Ottoman bridges, and Orthodox monasteries, writes the well-known Italian travel site gamberorosso.it.

Përmet is also known as the cradle of Albanian gastronomy.
Every true food lover should visit it at least once.

From fruit compotes to tasty soups, from grilled meat to cheeses, Përmet’s culinary tradition is rich and delicious.

Scents of the Past
Tradition, hospitality, and old flavors.
These are the three pillars of “Trifilia” — a must-visit place if you’re searching for authentic dishes.

Since 1991, this restaurant in the heart of Përmet has welcomed guests into an elegant setting, rich in wooden, brick, and terracotta details.
It enchants visitors with the best specialties of local cuisine.

Its rich menu offers a unique culinary experience.
You can try lamb soup from local pastures, grilled lamb ribs, spinach and cottage cheese pies, and free-range chicken with homemade bread.
You can also taste delicious vine leaf dolmas with rice that melt in your mouth.

A Kitchen Inspired by Land and Seasons
What sets “Trifilia” apart is not just its authenticity, but its work ethic.

“Our kitchen is a constant and tireless search for high-quality ingredients,” says Tatjana Jarazi, the heart and mind of “Trifilia.”
She explains that Përmet offers plenty of top products.
The team creates flavors inspired by recipes carefully passed down through generations and made with local, unspoiled products — some of the purest in the Balkans.

The kitchen follows the seasons.
They serve only what the land offers during each time of the year.

A Unique Territory
“Trifilia” blends traditional cooking techniques with fresh local ingredients.

The philosophy of Slow Food guides the work — respecting nature’s cycle to deliver tasty, genuine, and fair food.

After all, this is the land of the Vjosa, Europe’s last wild river.
Since 2023, the Vjosa and its branches form the Vjosa River National Park.

The river springs from the Pindus mountains in Greece, flows through Albania, and empties into the Adriatic Sea.
It gives its best in Përmet, flowing slowly and bringing wild nature even to the town center.

Trees, bushes, and — by late spring — flowers of every type and color bloom everywhere in the “City of Roses,” the town’s most famous nickname.
