De keuken van Himara leunt op de Ionische Zee en het Griekse erfgoed van de streek: gegrilde en gebakken verse vis en zeevruchten, Grieks geïnspireerde gerechten als souvlaki, gyros en gegrild vlees, en Albanese en mediterrane klassiekers. Langs de kust vind je ook heel goede pizza uit de houtoven en Napolitaanse pizza en Italiaanse pasta. De meeste menu's zijn opgebouwd rond wat die ochtend is aangevoerd.
Neem contant geld mee. Albanië draait grotendeels op de lek (ongeveer 100 ALL voor €1), en veel kleinere taverna's, strandplekken en cafés werken alleen of bij voorkeur met contant geld, ook al accepteren grotere en duurdere zaken steeds vaker kaarten. Er zijn pinautomaten in het centrum van Himara, maar zorg dat je genoeg lek bij je hebt voor een maaltijd — pinautomaten kunnen uitvallen zodra het netwerk wegvalt.
Naar West-Europese maatstaven nog steeds een goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding. Een eenvoudige maaltijd in een taverna of pizzeria kost ongeveer €8–15 per persoon, terwijl een versvis-diner in een restaurant aan zee duurder is — vis wordt meestal per kilo geprijsd, dus controleer het gewicht en de prijs voordat je bestelt. Budgetreizigers redden het met zo'n €30–50 per dag in totaal; een koffie met gebak kost een paar euro.
Bij de meeste ongedwongen taverna's kun je gewoon binnenlopen. In juli en augustus zitten de populaire plekken aan zee en de hoger gewaardeerde zaken op de drukste diner-tijden vol, dus het loont om een dag vooruit te reserveren of vroeg te komen, vóór ongeveer 20.00 uur. Buiten het hoogseizoen is reserveren zelden nodig.
De grootste concentratie ligt langs de boulevard van Himara en de waterkant van Spile, waar taverna's aan zee, pizzeria's en cafés naast elkaar liggen. Er zijn ook goed gewaardeerde plekken boven in de oude stad en verspreid naar het zuiden richting Qeparo langs de kustweg SH8. Onze gids vermeldt elk restaurant met zijn geverifieerde beoordeling, zodat je kunt vergelijken in plaats van te vertrouwen op één keuze.
