I booked a table, but when we arrived, they couldn’t find the booking in their records. After I showed them our chat on Instagram, they agreed to give us a table. They then forgot one of the dishes, and when we asked about it 40 minutes later, they simply said they didn’t have the cheese (???) for it, so my friend had to choose another dish. She waited for about 90 minutes in total. The food was tasty but overpriced.
We recently learned that Arkady Novikov's new restaurant has opened in Tbilisi. We decided to celebrate a birthday there, but since we couldn't determine the exact time, we came without reservations. If it is important for you to choose a convenient location, it is better to book a table in advance.
The hostesses quickly found us a table and were very friendly. At the very beginning, they brought us some homemade bread to try — looking ahead, this is the best bread in the city! Before we left, we even bought it at home — it was huge, fragrant and incredibly delicious.
The restaurant is famous for its cheeses, so we took salads with different types of them. The cheeses were simply magnificent, the dishes were incredibly delicious. The portions are large and filling, so be careful! In addition, we ordered pizza — also at the highest level. And as a birthday compliment, they brought dessert and congratulated me, which was very pleasant. I wanted to try something else, but there was no room left. The food arrived very quickly, no more than 10 minutes.
Separately, it is worth noting the dessert menu — there is a large selection, so you can just come here for tea with a piece of cake. Overall, this is definitely one of the best places in the city: a chic location in the center, stylish interior, attentive and friendly staff, excellent service (which you rarely see in Tbilisi!). Anna Simonyan served us — many thanks to her for her hospitality!
I don't recommend paying attention to stupid reviews with 1-2 stars — it seems that some people just like to look for flaws. Mistakes can happen, that's okay.
The restaurant also has a shop with cheeses, bread, sauces and other products of its own production. When we pass by, we will definitely buy something.
In general, the place is great — we definitely recommend it!
I tried to taste the cuisine of this "establishment" twice. The first time we were seated right in front of the reception desk in the central part of the hall, we sat in front of the staff, but we didn't wait for anyone to place an order.
The second time I stood waiting at the entrance. They greeted us and went into the hall. While I was waiting, other guests came after me. The man who greeted the guests came back, looked at me and took away the guests who came after me, leaving me there at the entrance. Of course, they left the place again after that.
I haven't been able to taste anything in two visits.
