The deck

UMI is the top floor. The deck runs the length of the building in open timber, with a glass balustrade around the edge and the roofs of Spile immediately below it. Timber pergolas stand over part of the run, lit along their undersides once the light goes; the rest is open to the sky. Olive trees and young palms are set into planters between the tables.

The bar sits at one end under the wordmark, the tables in two long rows in front of it. Hanging chairs are tucked into the corners, and the blue-slate plaster of the inner wall carries a pair of black pendant lamps.

You reach it from the corner of Rruga 2 Dhjetori, the pedestrian spine of Spile — the same street that carries most of the town's restaurants and, after dark, its bars and rooftops.

From the pass

Raw fish is the centre of it — salmon and tuna tartars, an Ionian tuna carpaccio, sea bass ceviche, a sashimi combination. Around that sit the rolls: the casual ones you already know, and eight of UMI's own, from the Dragon and the Rainbow to the Black Pearl Salmon.

Not everything is raw. There are bao buns and spring rolls to start, three bowls of noodles, salmon teriyaki, crispy duck and yakisoba among the mains, and a matcha panna cotta to finish. Vegetarians have their own run through the card: edamame, bao veggie, the wakame salad, veggie noodles and the vegetable maki.

For a table of several, the kitchen sends out combinations of twenty or forty pieces rather than asking anyone to choose.

Finding UMI

Rruga 2 Dhjetori, in Spile — the white corner building with two black signs at first-floor height. UMI is the level above them. It is a few minutes on foot from Spile Beach, so the walk up from the water takes about as long as it takes to dry off.
