Tbilisi, Georgia
Akura San brings a Japanese-Georgian sensibility to Tbilisi's increasingly internationalist dining scene.

Details on booking and pricing are best confirmed directly on arrival or through local concierge networks.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Asian Corner belongs to a useful Tbilisi category: small-format restaurants that look beyond Georgian canon while still depending on the city’s produce markets, dairy culture, herbs, and quick-service dining rhythm. With no awards or chef-led tasting format attached, the appeal is less ceremony than contrast: a central Tbilisi stop for diners mapping how Asian flavours are being absorbed into the city’s casual restaurant scene.
Tbilisi, Georgia
ATI sits on Telavi Street in the heart of Tbilisi's dining scene, drawing a loyal crowd who return not for novelty but for consistency.

Tbilisi, Georgia
Bell & Gray belongs to the newer Tbilisi dining conversation around sourcing, produce, and a more international style of city restaurant. Its position on Shota Rustaveli Avenue puts it in the capital’s central cultural corridor, where hotel dining, wine bars, and independent kitchens compete for the same evening crowd rather than separate audiences.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Bina 37 occupies apartment 37 on the eighth floor of a residential building on Sofrom Mgaloblishvili Street, operating at the precise intersection of private dinner party and serious dining that defines Tbilisi's most considered eating.

For visitors already mapping Tbilisi's better tables, it belongs on the itinerary.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Café Leila occupies a storied address on Ioane Shavteli Street in Tbilisi's Old Town, where the dining room's worn stone and warm light make it a natural setting for meals that matter.

For occasion dining in the city, it occupies a distinct place in the conversation.
Tbilisi, Georgia

Tbilisi, Georgia
At 5 Shalva Radiani Street, Chef Konstantin Tedeluri occupies a particular position in Tbilisi's evolving fine-dining conversation — a name attached to a specific address rather than a branded restaurant concept, signalling the chef-driven, personality-led format that has quietly reshaped how the city's serious food scene presents itself. For travellers tracking Georgia's culinary momentum, this is one address worth understanding before visiting.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Chocolaterie sits on Merab Kostava Street in central Tbilisi, a useful address for reading the city’s café culture through chocolate, pastry, and the slower rituals that sit alongside Georgia’s more famous wine and supra traditions. Treat it less as a formal restaurant call and more as part of Tbilisi’s daytime circuit: compact, urban, and tied to the capital’s habit of lingering over sweets and coffee.
Tbilisi, Georgia
On the Mtkvari riverbank at 35 Zakaria Paliashvili Street, Chops By The River positions itself in the grill-and-river-dining niche that has expanded steadily across Tbilisi's Vake and Mtatsminda corridors. The name signals a focused meat program in a city where live-fire cooking and Georgian ingredient sourcing are increasingly the criteria by which serious restaurants are judged.
Tbilisi, Georgia
On Tchorokhi Street in Tbilisi, Chveni operates within a city that has become one of Europe's most compelling dining destinations, where Georgian culinary traditions are being interrogated and reinterpreted with serious intent. The restaurant draws on the country's deep culture of ingredient provenance, sitting in a neighbourhood where old recipes and new technique converge on the same table.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Culinarium Khasheria occupies a specific place in Tbilisi's dining conversation: a dedicated khasheria, or traditional tripe-soup house, on Vekua Street that grounds itself in one of Georgian cuisine's oldest morning rituals. In a city increasingly divided between heritage-revival restaurants and international formats, it commits to the hyper-local register with a discipline that sets it apart from the broader Old Town dining scene.
Tbilisi, Georgia
On a quiet street in Tbilisi's older residential quarters, Dadiani occupies a space where Georgian cooking is treated as a subject worth serious attention. The address at 11b Bakhtrioni St places it away from the tourist-heavy corridors of the Old Town, drawing a crowd that arrives with purpose rather than by accident. What it represents is a focused engagement with the depth and regional range of a cuisine that predates most European culinary traditions by millennia.

Tbilisi, Georgia
The Telegraph Hotel occupies Tbilisi's former central post and telegraph office on Rustaveli Avenue, converting a Brutalist Soviet-era landmark into a 239-room design-led property with a rooftop bar, jazz club, and a food program that spans Thai street food to modern Georgian.

Tbilisi, Georgia

Tbilisi, Georgia
Artizan - Design Hotel sits on Iakob Nikoladze Street in central Tbilisi, carrying Michelin Selected status in the 2025 guide — a distinction that places it among a small group of Georgian hotels recognised for hospitality quality. The property positions itself within the city's design-led independent hotel tier, where considered interiors and attentive service count for more than brand affiliation or room count.
Tbilisi, Georgia
We admit we never saw it coming, but Tbilisi, Georgia is now home to particularly fully realized and authentically distinctive boutique hotels in the world. The Communal hotels make use of antique townhouses in some of the city’s most desirable old neighborhoods, in the case of Communal Plekhanovi, that’s Chugureti, a hip, creative district a short distance from Marjanishvili Square and Tbilisi State University. With just 14 rooms it’s still guest-house-sized, and at that scale, a hotel can aim for a communal atmosphere without feeling crowded or chaotic. The style is a postmodern mixture of period architecture, classic fixtures and furnishings, and a modern graphic color sense; no two rooms are alike, but the hotel presents a unified aesthetic and makes an impression that’s nothing if not memorable. Speaking of communal experiences, there’s a substantial buffet breakfast that serves as an introduction to Georgian cuisine, and later in the day guests mingle in the bar and on the terrace. For lunch and dinner there’s Weller, the hotel’s restaurant, and while it’s worth making time for, it’s by no means the only one in town, the hotel’s lively location invites a bit of urban exploration.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Communal Sololaki Hotel occupies a address at 6 Kojori Street in Tbilisi's historic Sololaki district, where 19th-century European-influenced townhouses define the streetscape.

Tbilisi, Georgia

Tbilisi, Georgia
It says something about the Georgian capital that the St. Petersburg–based Ginza Project chose Tbilisi as the setting for its first lodging outside of Russia. Khedi Hotel is located in the riverside district of Avlabari, close to the Holy Trinity Cathedral and other local landmarks. And the hotel is something of a monument unto itself, at least for devotees of luxury boutique hospitality; its two buildings are divided into 57 rooms and suites in two styles, one a colorful modern re-interpretation of Georgian tradition, and the other a more spare, more subdued, more contemporary look. And though the Ginza Project’s first expertise is in serviced apartments, this is a proper hotel, complete with a restaurant helmed by a highly regarded local chef.
Tbilisi, Georgia
A Michelin Selected property on Ketevan Dedofali Avenue, Margot Old Tbilisi places guests inside one of the city's most architecturally layered quarters, where 19th-century courtyard houses and carved wooden balconies define the streetscape.

Tbilisi, Georgia
A Michelin Selected hotel positioned on Vakhtang Gorgasali Street in Tbilisi's Old Town, Mercure Tbilisi Old Town places guests within walking distance of the Narikala fortress, the sulphur bath district, and the dense concentration of wine bars and Georgian restaurants that define the neighbourhood.

Tbilisi, Georgia

Tbilisi, Georgia
Tbilisi's first Marriott Luxury Collection property, Paragraph Freedom Square occupies a commanding position near Pushkin Square at the edge of the historic center. The 220-room hotel has earned Star Wine List recognition for 2026 and places its guests within walking distance of the Old Town's cobblestoned streets and major cultural landmarks. Among Tbilisi's premium hotel tier, it represents the international-brand end of the spectrum.

Tiflis Palace sits on Vakhtang Gorgasali Street in the heart of Old Tbilisi's Abanotubani district, where the city's Persian and Russian imperial layers are most legible in stone. Named Georgia's Leading Boutique Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards, it occupies the smaller, design-conscious tier of the Tbilisi market rather than the large-footprint international brands.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Selected by the Michelin hotel guide for 2025, Unfound Door is a design hotel on Davit Aghmashenebeli Avenue, one of Tbilisi's most architecturally layered thoroughfares. The property sits within Tbilisi's growing cohort of design-led boutique stays that trade international chain scale for neighbourhood specificity and considered interiors.

Tbilisi, Georgia
A candlelit natural wine bar positioned steps from the Georgian Chancellery on Pavle Ingorokva Street, Kancellaria arrives at a moment when Tbilisi's wine scene is drawing serious international attention. The format pairs European food with a natural wine selection inside an intimate, low-lit interior, placing it squarely within the city's growing cohort of specialist wine-focused rooms.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Poliphonia occupies a brick-vaulted sous-terrain on Chonkadze Street, sitting far enough from Tbilisi's tourist circuits to retain the unhurried rhythm that defines the city's best neighbourhood restaurants. The atmospheric interior rewards visitors who seek out Georgian dining on local terms rather than in tourist-facing venues.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Saamuri operates inside Fabrika, Tbilisi's converted Soviet sewing factory turned creative hub on Egnate Ninoshvili Street. The venue sits within a multi-use compound of restaurants, bars, shops, and a hostel that has become a gathering point for the city's younger creative class. It is less a destination bar than a neighbourhood fixture — one that reflects how Tbilisi's social life has reorganised around repurposed industrial space.
Tbilisi, Georgia
In Tbilisi's historic Vera district, Sulico has established itself as a reference point for natural and conventional wine in the Georgian capital, drawing both locals and visiting drinkers who know what they're looking for. The bar sits at 27 Mikheil Zandukeli Street and pairs a considered drinks list with a food programme that treats wine as the primary lens. A few years of operation have made it a fixture rather than a novelty.
Tbilisi, Georgia
A brick-lined cellar bar on Galaktion Tabidze Street, Vino Underground operates as a collective owned by Georgian artisan winemakers — making it less a wine bar and more a direct channel to the country's natural wine movement. Alongside peers like 8000 Vintages and Poliphonia, it sits at the centre of Tbilisi's low-intervention wine scene, where the pour reflects the producer rather than a buyer's list.
Tbilisi, Georgia

The address places it inside a stretch of bars that have redefined how Georgians and visitors alike think about drinking culture. Come for the programme; the room will hold its own.
Tbilisi
Selected entries from the current guide for Tbilisi.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Acto LLC, operating as Winery Bediani, gives Tbilisi a production-minded view of Georgian wine rather than a purely pastoral cellar-door narrative. Founded in 2012, it works with native varieties including Saperavi and Rkatsiteli, drawing on Kindzmarauli fruit and a split between qvevri and classical methods.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Artevani is a small Tbilisi tasting-room and wine label shaped around Kakheti rather than city spectacle. The draw is organic, single-vineyard Georgian wine, with Saperavi and Kisi carrying the argument for qvevri tradition, restrained production, and terroir-led drinking in an urban setting.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Bolero & Company is less a leisurely cellar-door stop than a view into Georgia’s industrial wine and brandy engine. Based in Tbilisi with major Kakheti production, it connects qvevri tradition, Saperavi and Khikhvi, and large-scale barrel aging through a functional appointment-only format suited to wine education and trade-minded visitors.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Corporation Georgian Wine belongs to Georgia’s production-led wine tier: functional, export-minded, and rooted in Kakheti rather than staged hospitality. The draw is the combination of modern technological lines with qvevri aging, expressed through Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, and Kisi, with tours suited to visitors who want wine education over resort-style polish.
Tbilisi, Georgia
G-Wine Cradle of Wine is a wine-focused address in Tbilisi, a city that often acts as the urban gateway to Georgia’s qvevri traditions, indigenous grapes, and long cellar culture. Treat it as part of the capital’s wine-discovery circuit rather than as a documented estate profile: the draw is context, access, and Georgian wine identity in the city.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Georgian Wines & Spirits belongs to Georgia’s export-facing wine story: a Kakheti producer founded in 1993, working across classic wines, qvevri wines, brandy and chacha. Its appeal is less boutique cellar-door intimacy than scale, appellation language and a broad reading of Georgian grapes, from Saperavi and Rkatsiteli to Mtsvane and Dzelshavi.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Kakhatian Traditional Winemaking suits travelers who want Georgian wine explained through production rather than polished cellar-door theatre. The Tbilisi facility links an urban headquarters setting with Kakheti-facing tradition, guided tastings, production tours, qvevri technique, and a broad wine focus that runs from still reds and whites to skin-contact, sparkling, fortified, and dessert styles.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Tavankari Wine is a small Tbilisi-based Georgian wine producer with a portfolio built around qvevri, dry red, dry white, and semi-sweet styles. Its appeal is less about polished cellar-door theatre than about seeing how an urban winery/showroom format can carry Georgia’s clay-vessel tradition into a compact, low-key tasting setting.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Tbilvino reads as a polished, large-scale introduction to Georgian wine culture in Tbilisi, with the country’s qvevri tradition placed alongside modern barrel-aging and a broad portfolio of indigenous grapes. Its value lies in context: two winery facilities, 355 hectares of vineyards, guided tastings, and a production story that connects Mukuzani, Kindzmarauli, Kvareli, and the capital rather than treating wine as a simple cellar pour.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Terra Kisi Winery is a small Tbilisi-area producer working through Georgian qvevri tradition, natural winemaking and a portfolio that spans Kisi, Khikhvi, Mtsvane, Krakhuna, Chardonnay and Saperavi. Its profile is strongest for travelers trying to understand how Kakheti’s grape culture translates into an urban winery format rather than a vineyard-resort model.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Vinotells is a small Tbilisi wine venue built around Georgian bottles, guided tasting, and the kind of intimate room where conversation matters as much as the pour. Its strength is curation: Saperavi, amber styles, still whites, and rarer local selections are framed through staff guidance rather than left as a list of unfamiliar grapes.
