4 Nights & 5 Days Guduari and Tbilisi: Must Try Georgian Food And Where To Try Them

Georgia has a lot to offer when it comes to Georgian Food. Everything is just as tasty and mouthwatering. If you are traveling for the first time to Tbilisi, Georgia, you might be interested to read this first, Tips and Guide for First Time Travelers.

So without further adieu, here are some Georgian food you must try and where to try them:

1. Kachapuri
There are 3 types of Kachapuri but I only like two of them.

The most famous type is the Adjarian Kachapuri in which the dough is shaped into a boat and topped with raw egg and butter at the center. This usually costs around 7 GEL - 12 GEL ($2 - $4).

There's a specific way to eat this dish which is illustrated on the photo below. This kachapuri is served hot so be careful when eating it.

The Megrelian Kachapuri on the other hand is like a cheese pizza but has a softer crust.

The following cafe's are known for their best Kachapuri.

• Cafe Kala
• Sakhachapure №1

2. Lobiani
A Georgian dish with a bean-filled bread. The is one costs 5.50 GEL ($2).

You can try this dish at any Georgian restaurants but we tried them at Sakhachapure №1.

3. Khinkali
The famous Georgian dumplings are a must try. To eat this, you must hold it upside down, suck the soup, eat the meat and throw away the top part. The Khinkali is the one that looks like a dumpling on this photo.

You can try this dish at Khinkali House Iverion located at Shota Rustaveli street.

4. Mushrooms with Sulguni Cheese
Baked mushroom stuffed with sulguni cheese.

5. Eggplants with Walnuts
Eggplant rolls with walnuts-garlic filling. This one's definitely one of my favorite.

6. Pork Ojakhuri
Ojakhuri which means Family Meal is a Georgian dish with roasted pork cuts, onions and potatoes.

We tried this dish when we were in Hotel Alpina in Guduari.

7. Pork BBQ
Large cuts of fresh pork bbq topped with onions.

We tried this dish at Cafe Kala in Tbilisi just a few minute walk from the Bridge on Peace.

All the Georgian dishes are served on any Georgian Restaurants but mostly we tried them at Khinkali House Iverion in Shota Rustaveli and in Alpina Hotel Restaurant in Gudauri.

In terms of prices, most of these meals cost between 6 GEL - 18 GEL ($2 - $6). At 30 GEL - 40 GEL ($10 - $14) you already get a big meal for two persons.

I hope this helps you plan what Georgian food to try during your travel in Tbilisi, Georgia.
