This is a gorgeous location, the food is quite good and the service is outstanding. The prices are quite reasonable considering the high quality available. Additionally, there are both indoor and outdoor options. The staff speaks decent English and there are English menus available.

Negative is that the bread and the stuff they give you before you start your dinner is not the best and already the same for many years. Menu also looks the same since years. Positive is the choice of food as a daily menu. The quality of the food is good.

Yes, they have no menu, no prices advertised (though your meal won't be more than EUR 15 per person, in my experience - expensive for Kosovo, but hardly breaking the bank), you get pretty much the same food every time (some salads, dips, bread, sarma, mantija baked under yogurt, Elbasan tava, and grilled meat), and it's hard to find, but for me, the Elbasan Tava makes everything worth it. This is the best Elbasan Tava in the city, and I've tried more than a few. Add to that fresh bread and a nice patio, and I think it's worth a stop once in a while, especially with visitors who want to sample the local cuisine.

The waiter was a good guy, very professional. The place is well located and they serve good food.
We don’t regret.
The avocado stew was quite different and good!
The only thing we didn’t really like , was one of the hummus varieties. It was very strong for us

Restaurant os good for traditional food. You can have with reasonable price full menu. Starter is very tasty with a very good type of home made bred. Than they go on with a nice mushrooms filled in with some cream, different grilled meat and vegetables. Service is good but it needs a bit of imprpvement.
7. Dit' e Nat'
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 98 reviews
This is a coffee bookshop place where you can get a nice macchiato and partecipate to one of the many events they organize. Presentation of books by local artits, the Sunday cult movie and much more. It is a wireless place where international hang around with their computers, and mix with local artists. Absolutely interesting and with nice selection of teas, capuccinos, home made cakes and at lunch time light sandwiches.
8. Liburnia Restaurant
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By GandalfTheDrunk - Sheffield, United Kingdom
It was recommended as a good place to visit both by the internet and our hostel staff; so my friend and I thought we were in good hands as we walked through central Priština in the late evening to seek out Liburnia. We were not disappointed.
The surroundings were immediately immaculate, as a perfect mixture of modern restaurant, traditional pub/inn, and eccentric rustic. Considering we had just come in from the snowy January bite, the surroundings were surprisingly warm; to the point where we were feeling slightly overdressed wearing a t-shirt underneath our shirts.
The menu was extensive and the staff more friendly, allowing me to charge my phone behind the bar whilst we grabbed a refreshingly cheap local beer and browsed through the food options. I was craving something strong and cheesy, so I eventually settled on the steak with gorgonzola sauce.
The waiter humoured me well with my “bloody as hell” Pulp Fiction reference when asked how I would like the steak (note that this was the first restaurant I visited on our Balkan trip that even asked how I would like the steak done). The steak was one of the more expensive items on the menu, at the high price of €8. The restaurant is certainly affordable. Even with a few rounds of beer and a tip, we paid no more than €20 for the two of us.
The food did not take long to prepare, and indeed my steak was “bloody as hell”. The taste was brilliant and the meat of high quality whilst gaining a distinct flavour from whatever it had been cooked in. The gorgonzola sauce topping was absolutely divine and made the dish perfect. As someone who grew up in the UK, I usually avoid steak as a mere lazy-yet-expensive pub choice of searing meat in an empty pan with no effort or creativeness; yet this steak was exactly the opposite of that. Easily, this was the best steak I have ever eaten. The roasted vegetable side was also cooked and seasoned perfectly, and complimented the sauce well. In particular, the roast potatoes were some of the best I have ever eaten as well.
Just writing this review is making me want to go back. If you are in Priština and are considering eating here, you will not regret it; for I would return to Priština for the sole purpose of another delicious and cheap meal at Liburnia.

Reviewed By Aderod - Pristina, Kosovo
This restaurant is in the suburbs of Pristina, about five-ten kilometres away. It is easily reached by car or taxi, which could cost around 5 euros. The food is very delicious, coffee is excellent, but the main reason of visiting this place is to have soufflés, our family knows that this is the best place to go for it. Whoever goes there, should try them!
