ONO

Georgian classics get an unexpected twist here: elarji comes with shrimp kharcho, gebzhalia with mango, and black khachapuri with truffle. The kitchen mixes Georgian flavors with Asian and European influences, making familiar dishes feel completely different

DEO Cafe

Set inside DEO Beauty Concept in Vake, it is made for late breakfasts, brunch with friends. The menu follows their idea of comforting food, served with the same attention to aesthetics as the space itself. Breakfast is available until 17:00, so there is no need to plan your morning around it

Keto and Kote

Tucked away down a small Tbilisi lane, this old house opens onto a beautiful garden terrace with views across the city. Scenes from the iconic Georgian film Keto and Kote were filmed right here in the courtyard. Georgian classics are given a creative touch by chef Ramaz Gemiashvili, with local wine and tables under the trees completing the experience

Barbatus

Fresh Black Sea fish arrives here daily from local fishermen, bringing a real taste of the Georgian coast to Tbilisi. The menu follows the catch, from red mullet and turbot to mussels, oysters, octopus and lobster. Grab a table on the leafy terrace and this is about as close as Tbilisi gets to a seafood lunch by the Black Sea

Unfound

Behind an easy-to-miss door on Agmashenebeli Avenue, a 19th-century interior sets the scene for modern Georgian cooking, cocktails and music. Faded frescoes and historic details meet a menu rooted in Georgian traditions and shaped by French techniques, making the whole experience feel like discovering a different side of Tbilisi

Lile

Handmade pasta and Adriatic flavours bring a taste of the Italian coast to the heart of Tbilisi. White tablecloths, candlelight and a serious cocktail bar give the place an elegant edge without making it feel overly formal. Come dressed up, order a bottle for the table and make an occasion out of it
