Barbarestan
ბარბარესთან
Serving dishes based on the recipes of 19th-century Georgian noblewoman Barbare Jorjadze, this is a premier choice for a formal dinner in Tbilisi.
This restaurant bases its menu on the cookbook passed down by Barbare Jorjadze (with common editions dated 1914). The menu features dishes like duck with seasonal quince sauce, Satsivi (chicken in walnut sauce), cherry soup, asparagus soup, and Chakapuli (spring lamb stew), complemented by a well-regarded wine list. Located at 132 David Aghmashenebeli Avenue, the space is intimate, so booking a few days in advance is recommended. It opens daily around 14:00, with an average cost of 75–100 GEL per person. This is on the higher end locally, making it perfect for a formal dinner. Arriving by taxi is the most convenient option.
