Russian restaurants in Georgia

  1. A

    Sans Souci

    This quirkily attractive little restaurant makes a great place for lunch or dinner. It offers friendly service and a view of both the Anchiskhati Basilica and the Hangar sports bar. The food is Georgian with original twists – try the leek hors d’oeuvre for starters.

    Dzveli Sakhli

    Down by the river, the expansive ‘Old House’ is one of the best places in town, serving authentic dishes – with a twist – from all over Georgia. There’s often excellent Georgian music and dancing in the main dining hall, which has long banquet tables, ideal for small groups with time to enjoy a full evening. If you fancy a quieter meal, choose the partly open-air riverside hall. Service isn’t rapid but the food is worth a wait. You can order wine by the jug.

    Teremok

    This cosy little restaurant in the style of an old Russian cottage specialises in scrumptious bliny, little round pancakes beloved of Russians and indeed most people who have ever tried them. You can enjoy them with mushrooms, meat, cream, jam, cheese, fruit or many other options. Other Russian and Ukrainian dishes are served too.

    Dzveli Metekhi

    Across the Metekhi Bridge from the Old Town proper, this understandably popular place has sought-after balcony tables with superb views over the Old Town. The food is excellent Georgian and international fare, plus there’s a good wine list. Live music most nights.

    San Remo

    A place with sailor-suited waiters, the picture-windowed San Remo serves Georgian and Russian fare on a pier at the southern end of the Boulevard. It’s a bit of a party place in the evening, with live music and a small dance floor.

    Sachashnike

    Straightforward and excellent-value place convenient for the Marjanishvili homestays. You can get khinkali for 0.40 GEL each, pork mtsvadi for 4 GEL and a carafe of Georgian wine for 3 GEL.

    Puris Sakhli

    Puris Sakhli (Bread House) is one of Tbilisi’s most popular and lively spots for a meal. The menu is in English as well as Georgian, and a huge feast for two is unlikely to be more than 40 GEL.

    Il Garage

    Sardinian chefs whip up yummy concoctions of fresh pasta at this minimalist haunt facing the so-called Mrgvani Baghi (Circle Garden). Eat insideor surrounded by greenery on the patio.

    Cafe Nikala

    A bright self-service place with dependable salads, rice and meat dishes, khachapuri and cakes – a far cry from the dreary self-service canteens of Soviet times.

    Prestige

    This fairly standard beer bar has a leafy back garden where it’s nice to sit out over a mtsvadi (shashlyk) or a khachapuri on a summer evening.

    El Depo

    A good place to enjoy the Georgian staple, with rustic wooden tables and other traditional decor. Does good lobio too.

    Shemoikhede Genatsvale

    Neat, modern, less atmospheric, excellent Georgian food and efficient service. Easily identified by the Pirosmani painting on the street frontage of a dog and three men eating.
