The story
New Pampas sits along Rruga Taulantia in Durrës, Albania's historic port city on the Adriatic coast. The restaurant has earned a Gambero Rosso fork in the 2026 edition of the guide — a mark of quality that places it among a select group of dining destinations recognized in Albania.
A Gambero Rosso fork is not handed out lightly. The Italian guide, one of the most respected voices in Mediterranean food culture, evaluated New Pampas and found it worthy of inclusion in its 2026 listings. For diners exploring Durrës, that distinction offers a reliable signal of a kitchen that takes its work seriously.
Details on the menu and chef are best discovered in person or through the restaurant's own channels — but the Gambero Rosso nod speaks clearly enough. Whether you are visiting Durrës for its beaches, its ancient ruins, or simply passing through Albania's second city, New Pampas offers a dining stop with independent critical backing to its name.
