Taverna Fish Filipi in Saranda is highly regarded for its fresh and expertly seasoned seafood, with many reviewers considering it a highlight of their trip. The restaurant is particularly famous for its generous portions of fried calamari and its unique squid stuffed with prawns and cheese. Guests appreciate the complimentary starter of warm, varied breads and dips that often accompany the meal. Located away from the main beach strip, it offers a more authentic vibe that attracts both locals and tourists looking for value. While the food quality is consistently praised, the service experience appears mixed; some guests report fantastic, knowledgeable staff, while others have mentioned encounters with rudeness or issues regarding bill accuracy. Despite these occasional service complaints, the overall sentiment remains positive due to the high standard of the Mediterranean dishes served.
