1/
Sisters — Kutaisi
  • Location: Kutaisi
  • Concept: a family-run café-gallery with a vintage vibe
  • Try: mushroom and cheese pie, lemon tart, homemade herbal infusions

Opened by two sisters, this cozy spot combines a café, art gallery, and retro design with touches of Soviet nostalgia. There’s no pretension here — just warmth, sincerity, and food made with love. The menu is seasonal and often vegetarian, focusing on simple but soulful flavors. Each visit feels like dropping by old friends.

  • Location: 2 Saknavtobi Kakheti Hwy
  • Concept: a spacious Georgian tavern representing Kakhetian cuisine
  • Must-try: khachapuri, khinkali, mtsvadi (Georgian BBQ), dolma, homemade Saperavi wine

This rustic-style tavern, located near Tbilisi International Airport, has become a favorite stop for both locals and travelers. The interior recreates a traditional farmhouse with stone walls, vintage photos, and wooden benches. A small bakery works on site — fresh bread and khachapuri are snapped up instantly. The food is hearty, authentic, and always accompanied by warm, friendly service.

  • Don’t miss: Adjarian khachapuri baked in a wood-fired oven, elarji with smoked sulguni, local Chkhaveri wines

More than just a restaurant, this is a full wine and dining experience: vineyards, terraces overlooking the mountains, and cozy indoor halls with a fireplace. The menu highlights the richness of Adjarian cuisine — filling, buttery, and indulgent. The setting makes it perfect for a mountain escape with a glass of wine in hand.

Average bill: 60–80 GEL (≈ 21–27 USD)

  • Signature picks: soups, mushroom dishes, khinkali, homemade desserts, fine Georgian wines

Located high in the mountains, Ati Ambavi combines elegance with local culinary traditions.

The menu presents Georgian classics with a creative twist, and each dish is introduced with a story that adds depth to the experience.

Dinner for two with wine and dessert — around 385 GEL (≈ 130 USD)

5/
Lia Deida — Argveta, Imereti
  • Argveta village, near the Kutaisi–Tbilisi highway

This is one of those unique restaurants in Georgia that you discover almost by chance. Lia and her son Giorgi welcome every guest personally, turning a meal into an intimate family experience. The food is farm-to-table: free-range chicken, vegetables from their garden, bread baked in a traditional tone oven, and wine from their own vineyard. The eclectic interior — guitars, Modigliani prints, handmade décor — only adds to the charm.

💰 Affordable: a full meal costs 30–60 GEL (~10–20 USD), lighter dishes start from 10 GEL (~3 USD)

    25 Best Places to Visit in Georgia: The Ultimate Travel Guide

    Georgia may be a relatively small country, but its landscapes, history, culture, and traditions are remarkably diverse. In a single trip, you can explore the historic streets of Tbilisi, taste wine at a family-run winery in Kakheti, drive into the high Caucasus, discover ancient cave cities, explore lush canyons, and spend a few days on the Black Sea coast. Georgia is also not a country that is best experienced by simply ticking attractions off a list. Many places are interesting not because of one particular landmark, but because of the atmosphere of the entire region. The journey itself, small villages, family wineries, mountain passes, local restaurants, and spontaneous stops along the road often become some of the most memorable parts of the trip. If you are visiting for the first time, deciding what to see in Georgia largely depends on how much time you have and what kind of experience you are looking for. We have selected 25 places that reveal different sides of the country, from ancient history and winemaking traditions to high mountains, dramatic canyons, and the Black Sea coast.

    Corporate Retreats in Georgia

    A corporate trip today can be much more than a few days in a hotel with a conference room and a standard sightseeing program. Companies are increasingly using travel as a way to work with their teams, strengthen corporate culture, connect with partners and create an environment for new ideas. Georgia offers particularly strong opportunities in this regard. Its compact geography makes it possible to combine business sessions, leisure, gastronomy, nature and cultural experiences within a single trip. A morning can be dedicated to a strategy session, the afternoon spent at a winery or in the mountains, followed by an evening dinner featuring local cuisine and live music. For international companies, another major advantage is the variety of infrastructure available. Tbilisi and the regions offer five-star hotels, historic estates, resorts and countryside properties suitable for private meetings, presentations, conferences and large-scale events. A single itinerary can also combine several completely different settings. This is one of the reasons business travel in Georgia is becoming increasingly attractive. The country works equally well for small executive teams and larger international groups looking for a complete MICE program covering accommodation, transportation, events and on-site coordination. Team building in Georgia is another increasingly popular format. The vineyards of Kakheti, the mountain landscapes of Kazbegi, historic Tbilisi, the Black Sea coast and the remote valleys of Svaneti all offer very different settings for creating a corporate experience.
