I'm currently in Tirana and made an observation that I thought might be interesting for the
food related topics we dealt with in class. Walking the streets of
the city one will soon realize the fast-food restaurants here are not
like the ones we know in western Europe or America.. but then they
still sort of are, they are just made the Albanian way.
By this I mean that although there are
no Western Fast-Food chains like McDonalds or Kentucky Fried Chicken
Tirana has it's own version of them. For instance they have a place
called “Albania Fried Chicken” in lieu of “Kentucky Fried
Chicken”. The logo is the same but just with an A instead of a K
and the whole restaurant is practically built to look like the
original KFC
The closest thing to McDonalds is
“Kolonat”, and well it comes pretty close. Basically Kolonat
offers the same Burgers as McDonalds but additionally also serves
Pasta, Pizza and Souvlaki. The biggest difference might be the prices
as restaurants in Albania tend to be pretty cheap compared to the
ones in Austria ( A big
The for me best Fast-Food restaurant
chain there was “Goody's” a Greek restaurant chain with burgers,
Souvlakis, sandwiches etc--
Although Albania and it's Capital might
be the last European place to come to ones mind for traveling I say
it's worth a visit. Tirana is an exciting lively city with lots of
young people that offers a big number of shops and places to have
coffee, lunch or dinner.
