Is there McDonald's in Georgia, and what fast food is there?
International chains and local quick bites.
Short answer
Yes, McDonald's has operated in Georgia since the late 1990s, with restaurants in Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and along major highways. Other international fast-food chains are present too. But local fast food is just as good: khachapuri and lobiani from bakeries, shawarma and hot dogs in lavash are cheap and sold everywhere.
Why
- International chains operate in Georgia as franchises of local companies.
- Khachapuri bakeries open early in the morning.
- Many fast-food places are available on delivery apps.
Details
Lobiani is a bean-filled bread, a good vegetarian alternative to a burger. A bakery pastry usually costs a few lari.
Tip
Try local fast food: khachapuri and lobiani from bakeries are quicker and cheaper than burgers.
