Questions
Where is Taverna Pirosia?
On Rruga Vangjel Zoto at Potam, just off the SH8 coast road south of Himarë town, at the inland edge of the Potam restaurant cluster. The postcode is 9425. The coordinates are 40.09432, 19.75711.
Is there much for people who do not eat meat?
Yes. Five of the six pies on the card have no meat in them — greens, spinach, zucchini, leek and cheese — and so do nine of the ten appetisers, including fërgesë, saganaqi, grilled vegetables, tzatziki, potatoes, pickles and olives. Meat-free here means no meat: several of those lean on cheese or egg, so they are not vegan.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. Visa and Mastercard are both taken, and so is cash.
Is the seating outside?
Yes. The tables are on the terrace, under a blue timber pergola roofed in bamboo and canvas, with an olive tree standing inside it.
Can I take food away?
Yes, food can be packed to take away.
How is the taverna rated?
4.7 out of 5 on Google, and 4.9 out of 5 on Tripadvisor, where it is ranked #2 of 96 restaurants in Himarë.
