My epic road trip through Kosovo continued in the southeastern part of the country. There, I enjoyed some unreal Kosovo slow food, including veal neck and ribs, at Restaurant Adriani in Ferizaj, Kosovo!

My afternoon began along the main pedestrian boulevard in the city center with my boy Erjan from Travel Media EU. Ferizaj is about an hour’s drive from the capital, Pristina, and about 30 minutes from the border with North Macedonia.

We passed some shops and continued on toward Restaurant Adriani, which sells traditional food.

We started with some smooth pear raki before we headed into the kitchen, where they were making some fresh-looking salads!

Then, they made us some veal neck and veal ribs, as well as a byrek-like pie called pite that contains meat. The veal had been slow cooked for 12 hours and looked phenomenal!

Then, we headed down to the basement, where they were storing lots of cabbage and pickles. They use the cabbage in a pickled dish called turshi!

Back in the dining hall, I started with a salad with spring onions, tomatoes, cheese, and red pepper; the turshi; yogurt, tomatoes, a bean-and-dried-meat tava, and more!

The turshi was crunchy, moist, and outstanding! Then, I had some amazing goat cheese with housemade extra virgin olive oil. The tomatoes were huge, and the spring onions were nice, crisp, and earthy!

We also had some dense, fluffy bread and some pepperoncino-like peppers. There was also a super spicy pepper! The mozzarella-like cow cheese was really nice as well!

The bean-and-dried-meat tava was outstanding. It reminded me of fava beans I’d had in Asturias, Spain. The beans were super tender and the dried meat was heavenly.

The ribs, meanwhile, literally fell off the bone with one bite! Then, I tried some sarma, which is cabbage leaves stuffed with rice and meat. This kind is fermented and has a nice tomato sauce inside!

Next was the pite, which was a little different from byrek and felt like a stuffed pizza. The top was crispy and the bottom was doughy. It reminded me of a meat empanada!

Then, I jumped onto the veal neck, which was so tender and juicy. The meat is buttery because the veal—the calf—has only had milk its entire life.

We toasted with some raki. The food was incredible, but we were both stuffed!

After lunch, we headed back to the city center.

I bought an extra suitcase for all the alcohol I was taking back home. Then, a vendor outside gave me an Albanian flag and a Kosovo flag! The people here were so friendly!

We passed a yard in the center of town, which is home to both St. Uroś Cathedral and Madhe Mosque. They’re only a few meters apart, which symbolizes the harmony between the religions in Albania and Kosovo.

The cathedral and tower were closed, so we headed to my hotel, Rubis Hotel. It’s a boutique hotel and looks like a brick hotel in the mountains. They have 21 rooms, a bar, and a restaurant.

Before going to my room, I visited the 111 Suite, which has a beautiful bed, and office space, a couch, a gorgeous bathroom with a chic tub and sink, and more.

Then, I went to my junior suite, which was artsy and minimalistic. There was a nice TV, a couch, lots of seating, a king-sized bed, and some cool lights on the headboard. My bathroom was also really cool with a sleek, black backsplash. This is a true boutique hotel!

Behind the hotel is The Village, an outlet center with lots of shops, and enjoyed some apple raki. The outlet is modern, brand-new, and feels very different from the old town!
