National cuisine in Tbilisi
A trip to Georgia always leaves pleasant memories of the local cuisine and cozy, hospitable restaurants in Tbilisi. Catering establishments in this country can be divided into national dukhans and more modern "secular" restaurants.
What are highly recommended tastes for those visiting Tbilisi's best cafes for the first time?
Of course, kharcho soup, chakhohbili (poultry stew), khinkali (something like dumplings), khachapuri, and local cheeses. And, of course, many places, including the best restaurants in Tbilisi, have the famous Georgian shish kebab on their menu.
Tbilisi’s national cuisine is a true gastronomic journey, full of bold flavors and rich aromas. Every meal here becomes a celebration: dishes are generously seasoned with spices, herbs, and a deep love for culinary tradition. Great care is given to the quality of ingredients — fresh vegetables, meat, herbs, and cheese are always used. Georgian food is hearty, flavorful, and perfect both for a leisurely dinner with friends and for a quick bite. Even the simplest dishes, like cheese-filled flatbreads or stewed vegetables, are prepared with such soul that they linger in memory.
