To taste the dishes of local chefs is one of the primary tasks of any tourist. Every Georgian city is famous for its culinary masterpieces. This article is dedicated to delicious establishments in Tbilisi, where thousands of tourists come every year.
It will be very difficult to make an overview of all establishments within the framework of one article. There are really a lot of them, so let's consider the most unusual and popular among tourists and locals.
Unusual cafes
Flowers Cafe
Flowers is located in an old mansion near Rike Park. It offers a stunning view of the city. Sitting comfortably at a table, you can endlessly admire the old town and Narikala, an ancient fortress with a picturesque view of the Mtkvari River. It seems very close to Mtatsminda Mountain.It is located on the right bank of the Kura River and seems to be in the center of the city. Mtatsminda is a symbol of Tbilisi. From here you can also see the Peace Bridge — a pedestrian bridge over the Kura River in Tbilisi, which connects Irakli II Street and Rike Park.
This cafe is remembered for its landscape. Even in winter, you can admire the stunning view from the glazed veranda. Visitors are kindly provided with blankets in the cool time.
The menu here is varied and delicious. European and Eastern European dishes are served, as well as vegetarian. Polite staff and decent service. Prices are average or slightly above average. For any budget. A special nuance with tips — be prepared to pay 20%, not 10% as in other establishments. A fairly high commission is justified by the stunning view of the city. Believe me, you will pay more yourself, because here you will get aesthetic pleasure from the interior of the cafe and the view of the city landscape. In the evening, when the lanterns and lights are lit, it's great to sit on the veranda with a glass of Georgian wine. Rest in the Flowers cafe will remain in your memory forever.
Let's run through some of the dishes on the menu and consider the pricing policy.
- second courses — 11-19 lari (5-7.5 $ or 255-440 rubles)
- khachapuri — about 10 lari (3.5-4.5$ or 80-105 rubles)
- bottle of wine — 20-40 lari (8-16$ or 465-928 rubles)
- coffee — 4-10 lari (1.5-4% or 40-230 rubles)
Hilltop Cafe
The Hilton Cafe cannot be called a standard cafe. The facade is made in a youth style. Nothing superfluous. Jazz or light and pleasant house is playing. There are many spiral staircases, labyrinths of rooms and balconies. Visitors have something to have fun with. And having overcome all these intricate interior puzzles, you can get to the glazed veranda, which is located on the roof of the building. And then a stunning view of the city opens up.
The menu here is good, they cook decently. You can order a quick snack, Georgian, European and Asian cuisine. Vegetarians will also find something to eat here. If you want a dish that is not on the menu, then most likely it will be prepared for you. Here it is an unspoken law and this distinguishes the institution among many similar ones.
But the emphasis is still on an unusual atmosphere and a beautiful view. Agree, after a hard day I want to relax and enjoy stylish and pleasant music and admire the beautiful view of the city landscape. The Hilton Cafe is perfect for this.
The pricing policy here is slightly above average. You:
- enjoy fine wine from 6 and lari (from $ 19 or from 140 rubles)
- taste second courses from 15-20 lari (from $ 47-63 or from 350-460 rubles)
- drink a cup of coffee for 5 lari ($ 16 or 117 rubles)
Cafe 144 stairs
The cafe can be safely called a secret place. If you schedule a romantic meeting here, then a calm and pleasant atmosphere is guaranteed. The fact is that being in the center of Tbilisi, you will not immediately find a cafe. Moreover, many locals are not aware of it. It will take a lot of work to figure out where to go. The landmark is the Gomi Hotel. Next to it, you can find the beginning of the stairs. The second adventure that awaits you is to climb to the top. It is necessary to overcome 144 steps. But once you climb, you won't regret it. The whole city is at a glance. The view of chic Tbilisi compensates for all physical costs. In the evening, you can enjoy the lights of the night city and slowly drink Georgian wine.
As for the menu, local and European dishes are served here, which are also suitable for vegetarians. Imereti khachapuri be sure to try. Prices are above average. The staff is polite. The trick of the institution is seals. Basically, the cafe's guests find them cute and are happy to feed them.
The price tags in 144 steps practically do not differ from the prices of the Hilton.
Уютные кафе
Linville Cafe
A cozy atmosphere and an interesting interior awaits everyone who comes here. The decor in Linville is made in vintage style. The perfect place to admire Tbilisi from the balcony. A place of excellent atmosphere.
The building in which the cafe is located is striking with its ancient beauty of the 19th century. It is located near Freedom Square. The cafe is quite popular, but nevertheless it will not be possible to find it quickly. The building looks nondescript and you can just walk by.
People come here not to eat, but to drink fine Georgian wine or enjoy fragrant coffee. Socializing with friends and getting to know old things, of which there are a huge number here — that's what you can get here in full.
Price tags in Lynnville:
- coffee - 3-7 lari ($9-22 or 70-164 rubles)
- cocktails - 10-19 ($32-60 or 234-443 rubles)
- salads - 10-15 ($32-47 or 234-350 rubles)
- pizza - 15-18 ($47-15 or 350-420 rubles)
- main courses - 10-16 ($47-50 or 234-373 rubles)
Cafe Pur Pur
The establishment is located on the top floor of the most ordinary house. The house looks abandoned and it's hard to guess that there is a cafe here.
Cafe Pur Pur is a very cozy and beautiful place. The atmosphere of antiquity is created by unusual interior items. But this antique is exquisite and very harmonious.
Special attention should be paid to the staff. The girls here match the interior: exquisite and beautiful. I want to sit for hours sipping fine coffee. The prices are high, but you don't think about it in this place. You're just resting both body and soul.
PurPle is located near Lado Gudiashvili Square, where there is one famous sculpture of a young couple under an umbrella. She has her own story and, sitting in a cafe, you look out the window and imagine the events of that time.
Romantic stories and even marriage proposals often happen in the cafe. Probably because this place is very conducive to this with its magical atmosphere.
Purple also refers to such establishments where you need to go to drink coffee or another drink and enjoy the atmosphere. Although the menu here is not bad. European dishes are served, suitable for vegetarians as well. Prices bite a little, so the emphasis is on the stop and the interior, for which they pay and come again.
Example of a price tag:
- salad - 20-25 lari (62-78$ or 466-583 rubles)
- second courses - 35-45 lari (109-140$ or 815-1050 rubles)
- coffee - 5-12 lari (15-37$ or 350-380 rubles)
- alcoholic beverages - 12-23 lari (37-72$ or 380-537 rubles)

Какая же замечательная доступная ценовая политика в заведениях Грузии! И почти во всех представленных в статье кафе из окон открывается шикарный вид на город.
Я уже отметила до себя кафе Flowers. Меня привлекает открывающийся чудесный вид с веранды и бюджетные цены на еду. Надеюсь там вкусно.
Под руководством местных экспертов, я посетил множество ресторанов и кафе, и невероятно наслаждался настоящими грузинскими деликатесами. Я попробовал все, от хачапури до ореховой кобыльи молочной элиты.
Теперь я хочу поделиться с вами этим опытом, и составить свой топ кафе и ресторанов Грузии, где вас ждут невероятные вкусовые ощущения.
А как насчет тебя, дорогой читатель? Какие рестораны и кафе в Грузии ты бы посоветовал для любителей грузинской кухни? Расскажите мне об этом в комментариях!
Что самый невероятно вкусный десерт, который я попробовал в Грузии? Это должно быть сладкое блюдо из пшеничной муки и молока, называемое "пахлава". Это блюдо очень простое, но очень вкусное. Оно может быть дополнено грушевым соусом или банановым пюре. Для лучшего поиска лучших кондитерских изделий в Грузии я бы советовал искать местные кафе и рестораны. Там вы найдете много десертов, вкусных и оригинальных, которые вы не найдете где-либо еще.
