Pyetje të shpeshta për restorantet e Himarës

Për çfarë ushqimi njihet Himara?

Gatimi i Himarës mbështetet te deti Jon dhe trashëgimia greke e zonës: peshk e fruta deti të freskëta të skuqura e të pjekura në skarë, pjata me ndikim grek si suvllaki, gjiroja dhe mishi në skarë, si dhe ushqime bazë shqiptare e mesdhetare. Përgjatë bregut do të gjeni edhe picë shumë të mirë në furrë druri e napolitane dhe makarona italiane. Shumica e menyve ndërtohen rreth asaj që është zënë atë mëngjes.

A pranojnë restorantet në Himarë kartë, apo më duhen para në dorë?

Merrni para në dorë. Shqipëria funksionon kryesisht me lekun (rreth 100 ALL për 1 €), dhe shumë taverna më të vogla, vende plazhi e kafene janë vetëm me para në dorë ose e preferojnë atë, edhe pse vendet më të mëdha e më luksoze gjithnjë e më shumë pranojnë kartë. Ka bankomate në qytetin e Himarës, por mbani me vete mjaftueshëm lekë për një vakt — makinat e kartave mund të bien jashtë rrjetit kur bie sinjali.

Sa kushton një vakt në Himarë?

Mbetet me vlerë të mirë sipas standardeve të Evropës Perëndimore. Një vakt i rastësishëm në tavernë ose me picë kushton afërsisht 8–15 € për person, ndërsa një darkë me peshk të freskët në një restorant buzë detit është më shumë — peshku zakonisht çmohet me kile, ndaj konfirmoni peshën dhe çmimin përpara se të porositni. Udhëtarët me buxhet ia dalin me rreth 30–50 € në ditë gjithçka të përfshirë; një kafe e një ëmbëlsirë janë vetëm pak euro.

A duhet të rezervoj një tavolinë paraprakisht?

Për shumicën e tavernave të rastësishme mund të hysh thjesht ashtu. Në korrik e gusht vendet popullore buzë detit dhe ato me vlerësim më të lartë mbushen në oraret e pikut të darkës, ndaj ia vlen të rezervosh një ditë para ose të mbërrish herët, para orës 8 të mbrëmjes. Jashtë sezonit të lartë, rezervimi rrallë është i nevojshëm.

Ku janë restorantet më të mira në Himarë?

Grumbullimi më i dendur është përgjatë shëtitores së qytetit të Himarës dhe bregut të Spiles, ku tavernat buzë detit, picerinat dhe kafenetë qëndrojnë krah për krah. Ka edhe vende me vlerësim të mirë lart në qytetin e vjetër dhe të shpërndara në jug drejt Qeparosë përgjatë rrugës bregdetare SH8. Udhëzuesi ynë i rendit secilin me vlerësimin e tij të verifikuar, që të krahasosh e të mos mbështetesh në një zgjedhje të vetme.
