The best restaurants Georgia

Timetable

In Georgia, restaurants are generally open relatively early in the morning until late in the evening, from 9am non-stop until 11pm, when the last customer leaves.

Budget & Tips

All categories of restaurants, which are plentiful, offer excellent gastronomy. This ranges from simple kiosks where you can enjoy the famous katchapuri, the cheesy bread that stays with you for a while, to high-end fusion restaurants.

As a minimum, you can enjoy a katchapuri for 12 GEL, or about 4 €. On average, the price of a main course in a mid-range restaurant is 20 GEL (just over €6). Katchapuri and khinkali are the most popular and cheapest dishes.

The local way

The restaurants in kathapouri, the sakhatchapoure, typical, will allow you to sustain yourself for very moderate prices, to be tasted on the go.

The sakhinkle are restaurants specializing in making khingali, the famous ravioli.

To immerse yourself in a typical Georgian atmosphere, lively, very animated, go to a doukani (in Arabic, it means a shop, but in this case, it is a tavern, in the basement). This type of restaurant, with moderate prices and sometimes quite rustic, is very popular with Georgians.

Kids

Georgians love children, and you will find specialized menus in some restaurants. As the gastronomy is very varied, whether in a private home, a guesthouse or a hotel, you can ask your host to prepare special dishes for them. In this country, the child is king!

Smokers

Public establishments have become smoke-free since 2018. Therefore, as in France, you have to leave the restaurant to smoke your cigarette.
