How much does New Year's Eve cost in restaurants? - Prices from Tirana, in tourist areas and service packages
As the New Year approaches, all attention turns to the festive evening. While a few years ago, Albanians saw it as a dinner where the family gathered at home and celebrated the turn of the year, now more and more restaurants are being preferred to celebrate, offering various festive packages.
Prices vary from one area to another. From big cities to tourist areas, the price is usually related to what is included in the package, fixed menu, live music, unlimited drinks and in many cases, even accommodation and SPA.
In the capital, the offers appear mainly as festive menus with several dishes and dessert, where prices usually range from around 8,000-13,000 lekë per person in medium-sized establishments, while in more sophisticated places or with a full program, prices increase significantly. In some cases, the price is clearly divided between dinner only and dinner plus festive package.
In the southeast, gala evenings often feature a traditional, extensive menu, combined with a festive atmosphere. For Korça and surrounding areas, prices are generally listed in the 8,500–10,000 lek per person range, often with unlimited drinks and special rates for children. In Voskopoja, many offers are made by reservation and the price is often communicated directly, especially when the package includes accommodation.
In Durrës, the market is dominated by hotel and resort packages. Here the main difference is whether you get just the gala dinner or accommodation. Prices listed start at around 80–100 euros per person for dinner, while packages with accommodation usually go for 125–170 euros per person.
In Vlora, published prices range from around 80-100 euros for standard options, while resorts that sell packages with more services offer prices at higher levels, around 159-299 euros, depending on the length of stay.
In the north, the approach seems more balanced. In Shkodra, packages can be found from 80 euros, around 80–95 euros, especially when combined with accommodation.
Essentially, the price of New Year's Eve in restaurants is not just related to the menu, but to the complete package, starting from food, drinks to shows, or accommodation.
