The Vlora Restaurant Blog

Welcome to Vlora Restaurant.

Located in the heart of Back Bay, our restaurant represents more than authentic Mediterranean cuisine—it embraces the true Mediterranean lifestyle. 

With an emphasis on freshness and a minimalist cooking style, our menu covers tastes from the Northern Mediterranean region encompassing Southern Italy, Greece and Albania. The menu and wine list are an extension of the flavors and dishes served in Vlora, Albania, including exclusive handpicked wines and lovingly prepared signature dishes that are unmatched within the city. 

 People have distinct dietary needs and preferences, so our menu provides a diverse variety of options for all palates and lifestyles, with extensive vegetarian and vegan choices, and plenty of options for diners who enjoy fresh seafood and juicy meats.

We invite you to sit back and relax, eat and drink.  At Vlora, we practice the adage of “Eat Better, Live Better.”

Please call Vlora Restaurant directly at 617-638-9699 for available positions. Or email us at careers@vloraboston.com.

A certain spot on Boylston Street has seen many eateries come and go. But the all-new Vlora restaurant and lounge, which opened this month, seems to be here to stay. Fresh ingredients heighten the naturaly healthy aspects of the Northern Mediterranean-inspired menu-amoung the offerings are lemon potatoes, grilled quail, arancini Siciliani and a refreshing watermelon and feta appetizer. Executive chef Aldo Velaj shares ownership of the large space that is decorated with citrus trees and a wall of cascading water with his wife, Cindy Tsai. Vlora’s lounge area offers relaxing music, small bites and drinks. Open 10-1am, 545 Boylston St., Back Bay, 617-638-9699.
