Reviews
The place is full, very organized staff(the waiter Xhoi was no.1) and very fast. The food was no words… amazing. We ate seafood, and we ate everything. Especially grilled octopus was amazing i have never tried better octopus in my life it was very tender and seasoned well. I recommend you try their signature dring konjak Skenderbeg(very nice). I highly recommend this place. It is with a sea view, you enjoy every moment while you dine in.
A wonderful place to enjoy fresh seafood in Sarandë! The seafood was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The seafood risotto was rich, perfectly cooked, and generously filled with shrimp, mussels, crab, and clams. The mussels were equally delicious—fresh, tender, and seasoned just right. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and is clearly very popular. It was quite busy during my visit, so the staff were constantly on the move. Despite the rush, they remained polite, professional, and did their best to look after everyone, which I really appreciated. If you’re visiting Sarandë and love seafood, Limani Restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Fresh food, a pleasant atmosphere, and a great dining experience. I would happily come back.
We visited Limani twice during our trip — and honestly, once just wasn't enough. On our first visit, the beef ribs stole the show; easily one of the most memorable dishes of the entire holiday. The berry cheesecake and chicken fillet were equally impressive. We knew we had to come back. Second visit delivered again — the lamb was cooked to perfection, served with a brilliant mash, and the lotus Biscoff cheesecake was absolutely out of this world. The chicken pasta was a solid choice too, though it's hard to compete when the other dishes are that good. What ties it all together is the view and the warmth of the staff. The hospitality here is genuinely something special. If you're in Sarandë, don't just visit once — go back. You won't regret it.

Absolutely loved our lunch at Lumani! Everything was perfect. The food looked exactly like the menu photos and tasted even better. The lamb pulp was amazing—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The staff were incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout our visit. One of the best meals we’ve had in Sarandë. Highly recommend!
