Built around what comes out of the sea

San Nikola is a seafood restaurant in Durrës. Fish comes grilled or oven-baked, with wild fish priced by weight. Shrimp and octopus come grilled or in a casserole, and the raw bar runs from oysters to crudo.

Inside, arched Roman windows, red brick, a sea turtle on the wall and a reef mural set the scene. Guests write about the same things again and again: seafood that is always fresh, pasta you could not ask more of, and servers who look after the table.

“Their food is amazing. Would love to go back there again. The shrimps with white sauce were out of the world. … We had raki, the local drink from there and it was simply amazing.”
