Fantastic hospitality, fantastic wine, food for the soul. We went to Otium for our anniversary and I can say for sure that it is one of the best culinary experiences in Tirana.
Chef Arvin explained the menu to us (it is not written), he was very attentive and hospitable.
Very fresh burrata; the beef was out of this world; the dessert was oh my god!
We had a three course meal and the best wine I have had in a while.
The waiter was very nice and attentive.
And as someone wrote below, my husband and I were also treated like gods.
We will definitely be back until we have tried everything on the menu. 10/10

Very welcoming service. Lovely vegetarian platter to start, and was also brought an Albanian creamy cheese and pepper dish which I hadn’t asked for which was very nice! Main course of sea bass and prawns was very good! And also gave me a shot of raki - very kind and attentive!
Hundreds of happy Diners!

WOW! Otium is a small and elegant restaurant with good music and a great relaxed vibe. I had the most incredibly delicious lamb dish. Braised in olive oil for 24 hours (low heat, of course) and served in a 'Lebanese' sauce (oranges, dates, yellow raisins, walnuts, chilies and sesame seeds/fresh herbs). It was tender and freaking mouthwatering delicious. The veggies were steamed and served cold dressed in olive oil and salt and were a nice balance to the sweet/spicy of the sauce. I acknowledge that the portion is smallish and so I ate slowly (my instinct was to gobble it down) and savoured every mouthful. Turns out that after enjoying a freshly made delicious dessert it was the right amount of food and I left fully satiated. There is a wonderful selection of wines to compliment and enjoy your meal. This truly was an exceptional meal and seriously one of the best I have had while full-time traveling for 2 years. The service was impeccable. I highly recommend treating yourself to a wonderful food experience here.
