Experience AlbChef

AlbChef is a global platform dedicated to celebrating Albanian gastronomy, hospitality, and the professionals who carry its traditions forward. We bring together chefs, restaurants, hotels, cafés, food artisans, and passionate storytellers from across Albania and the diaspora, creating a living network of talent, flavor, service, and cultural identity.

AlbChef connects the entire HORECA world, those who keep Albanian taste and hospitality alive, and those who push them forward.

Albanian Cuisine Month

A global initiative launched in partnership with Albanian embassies, restaurants, and chefs across major European capitals. For one week each year, we celebrate Albanian cuisine with curated dinners, cultural activations, and public awareness campaigns, shining a spotlight on Albania’s rich flavors, traditions, and hospitality, and bringing them to international tables.
