The kitchen

What comes out of it.

Mediterranean cooking, with seafood on the card. Three things the house sends out, and what is in them.

  • A langoustine served raw on a white plate with citrus, tomato, mint and cracked pepper

    01

    Shellfish, served raw and dressed

    A whole langoustine laid on the plate with its claws intact, alongside pieces dressed in citrus juice with tomato, mint and cracked black pepper.

  • Prawns in a stemmed glass beside a tiered stand of citrus and shellfish on a laid table after dark

    02

    Prawns, in a glass, over leaves

    Shell-on prawns stood around the rim of a stemmed glass over chopped green leaves, sent out beside a tiered stand of citrus and shellfish.

  • A laid table at Restaurant Kolagji late in the day — a bottle of wine, two cruets, upturned glasses and a folded red napkin

    Oil, wine and a folded napkin, late in the afternoon

    03

    Oil and wine on the table

    The table is laid before anything is ordered: two cruets, one of them olive oil, a bottle of wine, the glasses turned down and a folded red napkin.

The card

The full card lives on kolagji.al.

Things to begin with, salads, pasta and risotto, and soups — four sections, all of them listed there rather than copied to a second page that would age on its own.
