Lovely people and really good fun preparing Lakror. We were made very welcome, sampled other local delicacies and enjoyed the product of our efforts.

Wonderful experience! A nice break from the touristy beaches. Great food, nice staff. Overall a fun experience!

Amazing Cooking Class☺️we made Lakror and fergesa two traditional albanian dishes.The staff was very friendly and helpful.This is the typee of experience you should absolutely do when in Ksamil💐

Best experience ever. Authentic and fun. Such a lovely welcoming family! Its a must do in Albania :) also the food was dekicious!

A fun afternoon learning how to prepare a traditional Lakror. We cooked in a small group, chose our filling and then we had lunch with the result. Despite not speaking a word of English, the chef led us through the process seamlessly.

Our hosts greeted us with an amazing warm and friendly welcome. This experience was one of the biggest highlights from our trip. Everything was completely hands on from making the pastry to the choice of fillings.The making the Lakror was an absolute blast. Our hosts gave great guidance really made the whole experience a fun one. We learnt so much, not just about the history of the Lakror.Make sure you turn up with an empty stomach because when it comes to eating your Lakror you are given so much much more… fresh vegetables, cheeses and fruits for starters with all with a choice of drink.We were unable to finish all of our Lakror, thankfully they wrapped it up so we could snack on it later.I highly recommend that when you come here that it is something you take part in.

We had an amazing cooking class! It was me, my husband and our 5-year-old daughter and they took such great care of us and were so kind to our daughter and very patient. The Lakror tasted amazing! We highly recommend booking this class!

I joined the Lakror cooking class at Mëndra hosted by Solrado, and it was the highlight of my holiday. From the warm welcome to learning each step of this traditional Albanian dish, the experience was fun, personal, and delicious. Enjoying my own freshly made lakror with a glass of Narden was the perfect ending. A must-do in Ksamil!

This experience was more than I was expecting. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and we had an amazing time. Highly recommend!!!

A fun activity where you learn by doing! Authentic Albanian cooking with a skilled translator to assist with the language barrier. We had a fantastic time as a family and I would definitely recommend this to others. The class finished with the group devouring all the amazing tasting Lakrors and Fergese.

Relaxing and fun, I did my Lakror with two layers and mama Edlira teach me. We did too and Fergesa, a lot of oregano, as I found delightful

Wonderful experience learning to make traditional Albanian dishes! Our family had an excellent time making the lakror pies, a vegetable dish, salad and dolmas. Everything was really really tasty but the best part was spending time with the Albanian locals who were so friendly and hospitable. Highly recommend and one of the highlights of our trip!

Very nice experience, but a bit overrated for what they offer. I wish for the future to organize more activities in which you are involved.

This was an authentic Albanian cooking class that took place in a family restaurant kitchen. Everyone was so kind and so happy to share their craft with us. We enjoyed it so much we went back for dinner that evening!!

This cooking class was easily the best thing we did in Albania. A run down of the class:We arrived at the Mendra Traditional Restaurant around noon, and were greeted by the grandson of the chef, who would be our interpreter for the day. He gave us some traditional cherry juice and asked us to pick which pie we'd like to make. Then his grandma (the chef) showed us how to make the dough and filling from scratch! As the dough was proofing, we went into the kitchen to learn how to make the fillings and 2 other appetizers. After we made the appetizers, we learned the traditional method of rolling out the dough (thinly!) and then built our pies.Once the pies were in the oven, we were asked to sit in the restaurant area and were given the option of different drinks (all a part of the experience!), and then the head chef came out and gave us our pies. She was such a delight, and the food was DELICIOUS. My partner made the cottage cheese/leek one, and I got the mussel one.Over all we were there for about 3 hours, and made 4 different dishes. I'd 100% recommend this class as a way to really start understanding Albania and their traditional cuisine. Also, try the local wine because it's the perfect companion to these delicious, savory dishes!
