The Table

01

Breakfast & Slow Mornings

For when the day needs to start gently.

Tone

Get the shoti bread with pesto. This place is great to work from during the day and good to be at night. Located inside the Fabrika compound.

Must Try →Shoti bread with pesto

Entree

Reliable multi-location chain. Good for a quick snack, coffee, or when you need something fast. Their pastry is genuinely good. You will probably walk past one several times.

The Khinkali Mission

You came here to eat dumplings. Here is where to do it right.

Zodiako

Ask for Khacho's Khinkali - khinkali filled with pot cheese instead of meat. It sounds like a strange choice. It is an excellent choice.

Must Try →Khacho's Khinkali (pot cheese filling)

HB

A German brewery that also makes, by some miracle, one of the best khinkali in Tbilisi. Also does a smoked lobiani (bean-stuffed bread) that is worth ordering.

Must Try →Khinkali, smoked lobiani

Courtyard Hangouts

Places designed for staying, not just eating.

Fabrika Yard

The compound has multiple food and drink spots scattered through the courtyard. Walk around, see what looks good, sit outside. The atmosphere does most of the work.

Must Try →Explore - everything here is aimed at lingering

Zeche

Similar courtyard energy to Fabrika - a curated collection of bars and spots built around a shared outdoor space. Good for bouncing between places without committing to one.

Must Try →Move between spots
