Starting the day with a good breakfast in Tbilisi used to require a bit of planning. In a city that prefers late nights and slow mornings, cafes traditionally opened late and proper breakfast menus were few and far between.
That has changed dramatically in recent years. Tbilisi now has a growing breakfast and brunch culture, with dozens of cafes serving everything from shakshuka and syrniki to bagels and classic cafe-style breakfasts. Most of these menus lean international – traditional Georgian breakfast dishes are fairly limited – but they make a great way to fuel up before a day of sightseeing.
In this guide, you’ll find my favourite places in Tbilisi for a proper morning meal, from sit-down brunch restaurants to casual neighbourhood spots and hotel buffets. All these spots open at a decent hour and offer a dedicated breakfast or brunch menu.

Sit-down breakfast cafes & brunch spots in Tbilisi
If you’re searching for a sit-down breakfast or brunch to start the day, these Tbilisi cafes and restaurants have you covered. As well as my tried-and-tested favourites, I have included a couple of new openings for 2026.
The Blue Fox
- Neighbourhood: Old Tbilisi
- Near: The Clock Tower & Anchiskhati Basilica
- Opens: 8am daily (breakfast until 1pm)


Open to both hotel guests and walk-in visitors, The Blue Fox is a swish Georgian-European restaurant set in the courtyard of a traditional balconied house. The polished service, central location and guaranteed early opening make it one of the most reliable breakfast spots in the Old Town – a perfect choice if you want breakfast before exploring Old Tbilisi.
Shakshuka, eggs Benedict, shoti bread sandwiches, smoothie bowls and waffles are all available. There’s also a local take on Turkish menemen (you can probably guess where Georgia falls in the onions-or-no-onions debate).
Order: Poached eggs with homemade labneh and dukkah.
Good to know: On Sunday mornings you can wander across to Anchiskhati Basilica after breakfast and listen in on the liturgy.
Reserve Restaurant
- Neighbourhood: Mtatsminda
- Near: Rustaveli Avenue & Parliament
- Opens: 9am daily (breakfast until 2pm)


Reserve stands out for its farm-to-table philosophy: the team grows, raises or produces many of its own ingredients (around 75%), from dairy and meat to micro herbs. The refined setting, immaculate plating and attentive service make it perfect for a special occasion or a more formal sit-down breakfast experience.
Two standout items are the Saperavi croissant and Saperavi tea, both infused with dried skins from Georgia’s famous wine grapes. The Farmhouse Breakfast is excellent – every element cooked perfectly – while the truffled Croque Monsieur is rich and indulgent.
Order: The Saperavi croissant and the Farmhouse Breakfast.
Good to know: Attention to detail carries through to dinner as well – the Colours of Georgia tasting menu is worth coming back for.
CO:CO Coffee Collective (new for 2026)
- Neighbourhood: Old Tbilisi
- Near: Gudiashvili Square & Freedom Square
- Opens: 9am daily


For a casual breakfast, this new cafe off Gudiashvili Square in the centre of Old Tbilisi has breezy veranda seating and a charming courtyard. CO:CO Coffee Collective uses Shavi beans, making it one of the best options for barista coffee in this part of town.
Brunch is served from 9am, with a shortlist of half a dozen items to choose from, and a menu that changes regularly. We enjoyed the rosti basket with prosciutto, but the hot honey eggs loaded with spicy ajika were the standout. Meals are priced at around 20-25 GEL and portions are a little on the smaller side, making this a better choice for a light breakfast rather than a big feed.
Order: Hot honey eggs or Nata’s breakfast foccacia.
Good to know: Sit outside to enjoy your breakfast on one of Old Tbilisi’s loveliest shushabandi glazed balconies.
BROD
- Neighbourhood: Chugureti
- Near: Central Railway Station & the Dezerter Bazaar
- Opens: 9am daily (breakfast until 1.30pm)


Inspired by Scandinavian sensibilities, BROD is one of the most stylish places in Tbilisi for breakfast. The restaurant sits inside a former metal workshop, where heritage ironwork has been carefully paired with Nordic aesthetics and custom furniture designed by the owner.
The short breakfast menu includes a tornado omelette with dill oil, a Georgian cheese breakfast plate and a yogurt parfait. But the real standout is the French toast – easily one of the best in the city. The bread is coated in a nutty, extra-crunchy batter and served with silky peanut butter ice cream and caramelised bananas, striking the perfect balance of sweet, salty, hot and cold.
The adjoining 12-room hotel, Bellhop, is among my favourite boutique accommodations in the city. For lunch, BROD serves elevated Ikea-style meatballs and gourmet smorrebrod sandwiches.
Order: The French toast.
Good to know: If you’re in a hurry, BROD the Bakery next door specialises in Danish pastries to take away.
Iakobis Ezo
- Neighbourhood: Vera
- Near: Rustaveli Metro Station
- Opens: 8am daily (breakfast until 11am)


Attached to the boutique Artizan Hotel, Iakobis Ezo is another reliable choice for early (OK, earlier) risers. The leafy courtyard is pleasant year-round thanks to misting fans in summer and heaters in winter, and the location near Rustaveli Metro makes it a convenient starting point for a day of exploring.
Breakfast is officially served until 11am, but the all-day Eggs Menu is a handy workaround if you arrive later. On my last visit I opted for the ricotta scramble with parmesan and a simple Georgian salad, which was excellent. The iced matcha latte is very good, too.
If you arrive earlier, there are American-style pancakes and a pastry basket packed with gourmet danishes and croissants. This is also one of the only cafes I know where Adjaruli khachapuri appears on the all-day breakfast menu.
Order: The ricotta scramble with parmesan.
Good to know: Take a minute to explore the indoor dining area, hotel lobby and listening bar, where works by Georgian artists are displayed. The concept is inspired by sculptor Iakob Nikoladze, whose house museum is located next door.
Kikliko
- Neighbourhood: Vera
- Near: Vera/Vake
- Opens: 8am weekdays, 9am weekends

A kikliko is one of the few traditional Georgian breakfast dishes – essentially eggy bread (similar to French toast) crisped in a pan and topped with savoury fillings. The aptly named Kikliko is an ode to this mid-morning delicacy, and was one of the first cafes in Tbilisi dedicated entirely to breakfast.
If you’re willing to venture out to Vera, it’s one of the best places in the city for a relaxed neighbourhood breakfast. The kitchen prepares a range of savoury kiklikos loaded with cheese, eggs, ham and mushrooms, alongside sweeter versions with caramel or almonds.
Beyond the namesake dish, there are eggs, omelettes, oats and excellent cottage cheese pancakes. In summer, the small terrace out front is a lovely spot to linger over coffee.
Order: A savoury kikliko or the cottage cheese pancakes.
Good to know: This is one of the few places in Tbilisi that celebrates a traditional Georgian breakfast dish.
Bell & Gray
- Neighbourhood: Rustaveli
- Inside: The Telegraph Hotel
- Opens: 9am daily (breakfast until 4pm)


Located on the ground floor of the newly opened Telegraph Hotel, Bell & Gray is a polished cafe with white-tablecloth style service. The long communal table (complete with power sockets) makes it a good option for a working breakfast.
The menu features all the classics – from avocado toast to smoked salmon Benedict – along with some interesting dishes such as spinach crepes with burrata, and buckwheat waffles topped with gravlax. If you’re after something lighter, there are also salads and simple egg options.
Order: The salmon buckwheat waffles.
Good to know: If you prefer a buffet breakfast, The Grand Cafe (also on the ground level) is open to walk-ins for 100 GEL per person.
Mint Tbilisi
- Neighbourhood: Vera
- Inside: Wine Factory N1
- Opens: 10am daily (breakfast until 2pm)


Located inside a glazed gazebo on the grounds of Wine Factory N1, Mint is one of the most photogenic breakfast spots in Tbilisi. The airy space is flooded with natural light, and the playful 90s-style branding makes it a fun place to start the day.
Behind the Instagram-ready interior is a solid kitchen serving simple breakfast staples: poached eggs on crispy toast with turkey ham or salmon, shakshuka with feta, oat porridge with berries and honey, and granola with yoghurt and jam. Prices are refreshingly reasonable for this neighbourhood.
Order: The shakshuka or the poached eggs with salmon.
Londa
- Neighbourhood: Chugureti
- Inside: Fabrika
- Opens: 10am daily (breakfast until 2pm)


Located inside the Fabrika courtyard, Londa is one of the few venues in the complex that opens early enough for breakfast. That makes it a convenient choice for guests staying at Fabrika’s hotel-hostel or anyone looking for a relaxed morning spot on the Left Bank.
Along with a cosy indoor dining room, Londa occupies a shady corner of the courtyard directly beneath Fabrika’s famous disco ball. The yard is lively at night, but pleasantly calm in the morning, and the large picnic tables are ideal for families or groups.
The breakfast menu is fairly simple and egg-forward, with Eggs Benedict the standout alongside a couple of bagel options.
Order: The Eggs Benedict or the granola with strained matsoni yogurt, toasted hazelnuts and honey-drizzled mint.

Breakfast Is
- Neighbourhood: Mtatsmind
- Near: Freedom Square
- Opens: 9am daily


Breakfast Is is my go-to for a cosy breakfast in central Tbilisi. The Georgian-owned spot has a relaxed, lived-in feel thanks to its open kitchen, cosy lounge seating and easygoing playlist – a bit like waking up inside a bohemian share house.
Tucked just behind Liberty Square Metro, it’s a convenient place to start the day, with friendly staff, excellent coffee and efficient counter service. On my last visit, every guest was being handed a complimentary slice of cake – a gesture I was very happy to support!
The blackboard menu covers the breakfast classics, including syrniki cottage cheese pancakes, eggs royal, shakshuka and French toast. The kitchen is tiny and tables fill up quickly, so it’s best to arrive right at opening time to avoid a long wait.
Order: Eggs Benedict on brioche with avocado cream and mortadela.
Good to know: In the evening, the same team runs Kancellaria Natural Wine Bar just a few doors down.
Unfound Door
- Neighbourhood: Chugureti
- Near: Aghmashenebeli Avenue
- Opens: 8am daily (breakfast until 2pm)


If you want to start the day somewhere memorable, Unfound Door is hard to beat. The restaurant occupies part of a restored 19th-century mansion, whose hallways were decorated with lavish paintings that have since been partially restored. In the morning, the main dining room – with its flaking walls and frescoed ceilings – is flooded with natural light, creating one of the most atmospheric breakfast settings in Tbilisi.
Attached to the wonderful design hotel of the same name, the breakfast menu at Unfound Door is à la carte and designed for mixing and matching. You can build your own plate from egg dishes and sides, and there are sweet options, too.
Order: Croque Madame with prosciutto cotto.
Chicos Tbilisi
- Neighbourhood: Vera
- Near: Chavchavadze Avenue
- Opens: 9am weekdays, 10am weekends


Tucked into the ground floor of an apartment block, Chicos looks more like a contemporary art gallery or a design boutique than a cafe. Sharp lines, perfect symmetry and a modern colour palette accented with vivid red are softened by warm service and natural light streaming through large windows.
While the Instagram-ready interior draws in the Vake crowd, the food easily holds its own. The playful Vake Breakfast – served Cobb salad-style – is the signature dish. It might sound like a gimmick, but the flavours deliver: scrambled eggs with brie, avocado drizzled with truffle oil and extra-crunchy grain toast.
Elsewhere on the menu are French-leaning brunch staples developed with chef Irène Perminof, including Eggs Benedict on brioche with proper hollandaise and pancakes drenched in dulce de leche.
Order: The Vake Breakfast or pancakes.
Good to know: After breakfast service ends, Chicos switches to a lunch and dinner menu featuring tapas, empanadas, and desserts such as Basque cheesecake and alfajores.
Hello Breakfast
- Neighbourhood: Vera
- Near: Rustaveli Metro Station
- Opens: 8am daily

Hello Breakfast has been a staple of Vera’s Golden Cafe Triangle for several years and remains one of the best options in the city for a lighter, health-focused start to the day.
The menu favours wholesome, plant-based dishes, with gluten-free bagels, smoothie bowls and plenty of options for different dietary requirements. Staff are very accommodating, making it a relatively safe choice for anyone with special requests.
The pancakes here are among my favourites in the city: a proper stack topped with fresh strawberries, crunchy granola and honey. There’s also a gluten, sugar and dairy-free version made with matcha batter. The smoothies here are a game changer – thick and luxurious, with your choice of nut milk.
Order: The pancakes or a smoothie bowl, and the coffee smoothie with honey and nut milk.
Good to know: Last time I tried to visit for breakfast, the cafe wasn’t open on time – so it’s best to arrive a little after 8am to be safe.
Chaduna
- Neighbourhood: Sololaki
- Near: Freedom Square
- Opens: 9am daily

A long-standing favourite in Sololaki, Chaduna is a charming cafe and wine bar tucked inside a heritage building just off Tabidze Street. The location is ideal if you’re staying near Freedom Square or heading up toward Narikala for the morning.
There’s something quietly magical about the place – warm, attentive staff, soft light filtering through old windows, and that unmistakable Sololaki crumbling-elegance atmosphere.
The breakfast menu is intentionally small, focusing on a handful of well-executed classics including chizhi-bizhi (eggs cooked with tomatoes, onions and herbs), frittata, scrambled eggs, syrniki cottage cheese pancakes, and breakfast quesadillas.
Order: The chizhi-bizhi or the syrniki.
Good to know: In the evening, Chaduna transforms into a cosy bar serving natural wines and gourmet bruschettas.
Weller
- Neighbourhood: Chugureti
- Near: Fabrika & Central Railway Station
- Opens: 8am daily

Part of the Communal Group, Weller specialises in Levantine cuisine, blending Israeli and Lebanese flavours with seasonal Georgian ingredients for one of Georgia’s most exceptional international dining experiences.
A late brunch is served on weekends only, making this more of a leisurely midday affair than a traditional early breakfast. The menu is designed for sharing, so it’s best to bring a friend.
The signature Weller Breakfast Mezze is a generous platter of small bites served with bottomless pita bread, while the Georgian Mezze highlights local cheeses, alpine honey, Racha ham and other regional delicacies.
Order: The Weller Breakfast Mezze to share.
Good to know: A similar breakfast is served to guests staying next door at Communal Plekhanovi.
Cafe Stamba
- Neighbourhood: Vera
- Near: Rustaveli Avenue & Metro
- Opens: 8am daily (breakfast until 11am/midday)

Located on the ground floor of Stamba Hotel, this cafe sits inside the dramatic concrete-and-steel shell of a retired printing house. It forms part of Stamba’s mini dining precinct alongside the Pink Bar, Warehouse Wine, and the newly opened Stamba Bakery.
The menu highlights seasonal produce and ingredients sourced from Adjara Group’s Udabno regenerative farm and SpaceFarms vertical farm, which means the breakfast menu at Stamba Cafe often features a few unusual combinations.
My pick is the Udabno Plate, a mini smorgasbord with Georgian cheeses, soft-boiled eggs, honey and almond cream cheese. Seasonal specials such as the asparagus with poached egg and lemon, or the Korean-style tornado omelette, are also great options.
Order: The Udabno Plate.
Slink Cafe
- Neighbourhood: Chugureti
- Near: Aghmasheneveli Avenue & Fabrika
- Opens: 10am Tue-Sun (closed Mondays)


Located inside a retrofitted greenhouse in Roses Park (Ilia Garden), Slink is a peaceful breakfast spot in Chugureti with great specialty coffee. The leafy park setting makes it feel pleasantly removed from the busy streets around Fabrika.
The space itself is very charming – though it can get warm in summer, as you might expect from a greenhouse. In winter, with the wood stove going and sunlight streaming through the glass, it’s especially cosy. There are also two small outdoor seating areas, including a shaded back terrace.
Slink specialises in artisanal sandwiches and breakfast toasts on focaccia. I opted for the tomato toast with olive tapenade and micro amaranth, which was excellent. There are also breakfast sets pairing a gourmet toast with coffee or tea.
Order: The focaccia breakfast toast.
Good to know: The menu leans savoury – there’s very little in the way of sweet breakfast options.
Casual breakfast spots in Tbilisi
Stapilo
- Neighbourhood: Vera
- Near: Tbilisi Concert Hall & Stamba Hotel
- Opens: 9am weekdays, midday weekends


For a quick breakfast on the go, this hole-in-the-wall coffee shop popped up in spring 2025. Alongside specialty coffee and freshly squeezed juices, Stapilo (‘carrot’ in Georgian) also serves gourmet cheese toasties, wrapped up in foil and paper bagged just like my school tuck shop used to do!
These sandwiches are a cut above tuck shop-quality, to be fair. I have tried both the fig jam and three cheese, and the American-style sandwich with bacon. The bread is properly buttered, and the cheese is extra gooey. If you’re craving this kind of comfort food first thing in the morning, Stapilo really hits the spot. Service is friendly and fast.
Order: The fig jam and three cheese toastie.
Good to know: The shop is tiny, so it works best as a takeaway breakfast (though there is some sidewalk seating).
Puri Guliani
- Neighbourhood: Chugureti
- Near: The Dry Bridge Market & Aghmashenebeli Avenue
- Opens: 9am daily


Located on Saarbrucken Square, next to the pedestrianised section of Aghmashenebeli Avenue, Puri Guliani is a popular bakery-cafe chain and an easy choice for a relaxed breakfast near the river.
The menu blends Georgian bakery traditions with international breakfast staples. Alongside freshly baked breads and pastries (the ponchiki donuts are a personal favourite), there’s a full breakfast menu featuring oven-baked eggs, kiklikos, pancakes and one of the best Eggs Benedict plates in Tbilisi – served on fluffy brioche with your choice of Racha ham, asparagus or smoked salmon.
A couple of the sweeter options stand out too, including porridge with chestnut cream and tklapi fruit leather, and the Chef’s yogurt with homemade granola and tangerine purée.
Order: The Eggs Benedict & Chef’s yogurt.
Good to know: A second branch in Vake, Puri Guliani Express, opens earlier at 8am.
OKRO Coffee Roastery
- Neighbourhood: Vera
- Near: Rustaveli Metro Station
- Opens: 8am daily


Next door to Iakobis Ezo (see above), this cafe is reliably open on time and makes a solid choice for a quick bite. First and foremost a coffee roastery, OKRO also serves pastries and sweets alongside an all-day brunch menu. It changes with the seasons, but you can expect thoughtful, creative dishes – coconut rice porridge with citrus suzette and granola, or savoury oatmeal with an onsen egg and chives.
The flavours and textures are finely balanced, with the kind of attention to detail you would expect from a specialty roaster. Even the breakfast sandos are something to write home about, thanks to the pan-fried milk bread and carefully composed sauces.
Order: A breakfast sandwich, or any special seasonal item that takes your fancy.
Good to know: OKRO serves some of the best coffee in Tbilisi.
Coffee LAB
- Neighbourhood: Vera
- Opens: 9am daily
- Also in: Saburtalo, Vake & other locations

One of Tbilisi’s original cafe-roasteries, Coffee LAB roasts its own beans on-site for siphon, Aeropress and classic espresso drinks. It’s a great choice if excellent coffee is your top morning priority.
Alongside the coffee menu there’s a small but solid breakfast offering, including eggs Benedict, chia pudding, homemade granola and black rice pudding with caramelised bananas. Seasonal specials appear regularly as well.
The relaxed cafe setting and reliable Wi-Fi make this one of my favourite places in the city to settle in with a laptop for a few hours.
Order: The eggs Benedict or the black rice pudding.
Good to know: Coffee LAB has several branches across Tbilisi, but the Paliashvili location is my favourite.
Dila Georgian Mornings
- Neighbourhood: Avlabari
- Near: Metekhi Bridge & the sulfur baths
- Opens: 8am daily


Dila Georgian Mornings is one of the few cafes in Avlabari, making it a convenient option if you’re staying near Metekhi or across the river in the Old Town. It sits on a quiet side street and was founded by local entrepreneurs Lile Khoperia and Tako Lataria, with the idea of creating a welcoming morning space for visitors and locals alike.
The interior is simple, and the menu mixes familiar breakfast dishes with a few Georgian-inspired options, including a Georgian breakfast platter and a savoury kikliko topped with mushrooms and jonjoli.
Order: The kikliko with mushrooms and jonjoli.
Good to know: The kitchen can get busy with takeaway orders in the morning.
Bagelin
- Neighbourhood: Vera
- Near: Stamba Hotel
- Opens: 10am daily

Tucked inside a residential courtyard in Vera, Bagelin is both a take-away bakery and a sit-in cafe. These are the city’s original (and arguably best) New York-style bagels, baked fresh daily with the right chew and texture. The fillings are just as good, with ingredients sourced in part from gourmet deli Saidanaa, which shares the space.
Options range from a classic breakfast bagel with eggs and bacon to smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers, alongside more inventive combinations such as sous-vide porchetta with adjika verde and garlic mayo.
Order: The salmon bagel or the classic breakfast bagel.
Good to know: You can sit in with a coffee, but Bagelin also works perfectly for a quick takeaway breakfast.
Hotel buffet breakfasts in Tbilisi
There are several hotels in Tbilisi that welcome walk-ins for their buffet breakfast. These include Rooms Hotel, the Marriott, and the Radisson Red.
I recently did a call around to enquire about breakfast buffets. Prices for the venues mentioned seem to range between 60-75 GEL per person. From my previous experience as a hotel guest, Radisson hotels tend to have the best buffets.
Fabrika also hosts a breakfast buffet from 8am daily inside the leafy, light-filled FARM restaurant and wine bar (located on the far end of the main building, to your right as you enter from the street). It is essentially a continental spread, with boiled and scrambled eggs, hummus, croissants, banana bread, and other nibbles.
I hadn’t been to the Fabrika buffet since 2017 (for a while, it was replaced with an a-la-carte menu), so the team generously invited me back to try it out. It is almost identical to the buffet I remember! But the plants and vines in the dining room have certainly grown.


What is a typical Georgian breakfast?
Georgian cuisine doesn’t really have a strong tradition of dedicated breakfast foods. Unlike the full English breakfast or the elaborate morning spreads you find in Türkiye, there is no widely recognised ’classic Georgian breakfast’.
The closest thing you’ll encounter is the simple morning spread commonly served in guesthouses and family homes: matsoni yogurt, fresh bread, butter, homemade jams or preserves, cheese, boiled eggs, and sliced tomato and cucumber. This kind of light, dairy-and-bread-based meal reflects Georgian food culture, where lunch and dinner tend to be the main events of the day.
In cities such as Tbilisi, mornings start relatively late. Many offices open around 10 or even 11am, so locals rarely go out for breakfast. If they eat at all, it’s usually something quick at home. One local once told me that leftover khachapuri is the most common breakfast in Tbilisi – and honestly, it’s hard to argue with that logic.
Only a handful of dishes could be considered traditional Georgian breakfast foods. The best-known is kikliko, a pan-fried eggy bread somewhat similar to French toast that is typically served savoury, topped with ingredients such as sulguni cheese.
Another dish you occasionally see in cafes is chizhi-bizhi, eggs cooked with tomatoes, herbs and sometimes cheese – a bit like a Georgian shakshuka. Syrniki or Machkatebi, cottage cheese pancakes, are also very popular.

In practice, most breakfast menus are international, with dishes such as eggs Benedict and shakshuka dominating cafe menus.
Which is all to say: if you’re searching for breakfast in Tbilisi, expect creative cafe brunches rather than centuries-old breakfast traditions.

Where to stay in Tbilisi
See my Tbilisi neighbourhood and accommodation guide for a detailed break-down of the different areas and options. Here are my top overall Tbilisi hotel recommendations:

TOP CHOICE: The Blue Fox Hotel (⭐ 9.7). Located in the heart of Kala Old Town, this intimate 17-room hotel features turquoise balconies overlooking a typical Tbilisi courtyard. Complimentary breakfast is served at the onsite restaurant-bar, Blue Fox, while some of the city’s best restaurants are an easy stroll away.

BOUTIQUE: Communal Plekhanovi (⭐ 9.2). Located in my favourite Tbilisi neighbourhood, this boutique hotel is among the finest in the city. Rooms are thoughtfully decorated with modern art and antiques, and there’s a fantastic restaurant, a wine bar and a gift shop onsite.

MID-RANGE: Graphica Hotel (⭐ 9.2). Explore the lesser-travelled Avlabari neighbourhood when you stay at this chic boutique hotel. Graphica is footsteps from the metro for easy access to the rest of the city. Rooms feature work desks, and a complimentary breakfast is included.

BUDGET: Pushkin 10 Hostel (⭐ 9.2). Located footsteps from both Orbeliani Square (near the Dry Bridge Market) and Freedom Square, this popular hostel has bright dorms and private doubles. The breakfast room overlooks the city from its 3rd floor location.

Breakfast in Tbilisi: Save it


Hey Emily, just wanted to send some love for how valuable ur blogs have been for my trip in georgia (and I bet a whole lot of other people too)
js a note reserve restaurant when I went down today says brunch only starts from 12pm. I did have the best ever eggs Benedict from breakfast is tho.
I did my first ever solo trip for 14 days in georgia including a 9 day road trip. 4 nights in tbilisi fabrika to settle down, then to borjomi (1 night) through gori, uplistsikhe, and then to vardzia/tmogvi (2) through akhaltsikhe where I stayed at guesthouse aleksandre and got totally immersed in their family’s farm life, he even brought me to milk his cows in the morning. From there I went up to mtskheta (1) then through ananuri, zhinvali, gudauri, to stepantsminda (4) where I ate at 4 or 5 of ur top 10 suggested restaurants + a stop at korbuda on the way back down to tbilisi(2).
I had such a great time and truly admire ur effort in keeping ur blogs as up to date as possible.
kudos!
zeph
Thanks so much for your comment, Zeph – that’s awesome to hear. Aleksandre’s place is such a special stay, I’m really glad you went there!
best, best, best, best, best…
like did you eat in all >1000s restaurants in Tbilisi? Hard to read this “best of the best, top-10” etc. kind of articles in 2025, really annoying. Less hype attempts, please
Yes, I absolutely have! I have been here for almost six years, eating every day! That’s why I have original photos and real opinions for each place.
Dear Emily,
I can’t thank you enough for this valuable blog. You have done a great job.
Thank you so much, Pascal!
Hello. I have been planning my trip to Georgia for the last few weeks, and this guide is truly amazing! I especially love that you have put so much effort in describing each place and why it’s so unique. Also, your google maps guide is AMAZING! Thank you.
Thanks so much Halina! I’m so glad to hear it has been helpful. Wishing you an incredible trip!
Hi Emily,
Thank you for all your hard work putting together these detailed guides! Just to let you know I had breakfast at Fabrica this morning, and it definitely wasn’t an all-you-can-eat. Small menu, very nice food, I paid 30 GEL plus tax for pancakes, yogurt and an orange juice.
Julia
Thanks Julia for the update, I just called them to confirm. Shame they no longer offer the buffet option!
Wow so much to check out! Great article. Just arrived and loving the honeymoon period of knowing nothing and discovering it all.
Awesome to hear that Kelvin! Would love to hear your tips too once you’ve discovered your favourite places! Enjoy!
Hi Emily,
I just arrived to tbilisi, quick update for your blog: FABRIKA now is all you can eat breakfast at 27 GEL pp.
Thanks for this amazing blog,
Carolina
Hi Carolina! Welcome!
Thank you so much for the news, I will update that now. (And on a personal note, I’m very happy to hear the all-you-can-eat has been reinstated!)
Have a wonderful stay and thank you again for the note,
Emily
Ovsyanka is closed due to some personal reasons (or life situation) of the owners.
Thanks for the update! I hope it will reopen soon 🙂
Hi Emily,
Thank you so much for your informative blog! It was really helpful.
Among others we went to “Erti Kava Coffee Room”, the coffee and the food there are just amazing! Really worth a stop.
Best regards,
Valériane & Lukas
Hi Valeriane and Lukas, I’m very glad to hear that! Erti Kava is definitely one of my favourites! They have a cafe in Batumi too (and one in Mestia I think) if you’re travelling around Georgia.
Thank you so much for the comment. Happy and safe travels!
