Greetings from Tbilisi , the first stop on our journey with Pegasus , where we're traveling as if we were locals …

Yes, we're embarking on a long journey, traveling the world on the wings of Pegasus, and our first stop is Tbilisi.

I had traveled to many parts of the world before, and Tbilisi was an exciting city for me, waiting to be explored.

We completed our Tbilisi tour in an unconventional way, as if we were locals. We visited many places, ate and drank, met new people, and finished our three-day trip to Tbilisi as if we were residents.

We carefully selected our locations, researched the best restaurants, and ordered the finest dishes on their menus. Our days in Tbilisi were a feast for both our eyes and our hearts.

Before I go into more detail, if you'd like to watch, my entire Tbilisi adventure is on my YouTube channel. The video is below!

Now, here's a list of the most beautiful places we've visited and would recommend, in order.

Alubali

We arrived in Tbilisi in the afternoon, quickly checked into our hotel, and then, after getting ready, one of the first restaurants we went to for dinner was Alubali.

Low lighting, a calm ambiance, and a lovely dinner made it one of our preferred spots. The restaurant, whose menu mainly consisted of Georgian cuisine, had a very pleasant decor.

The spacious hall, filled with round tables, white tablecloths, and decorative objects on the walls, will surely create a pleasant atmosphere. If you're looking for a romantic dinner in Tbilisi, this is a great option.

Address:

6 Ekaladze St, Tbilisi, Georgia

Lolita

We went to meet up with friends after dinner and discovered Lolita.

Although it initially gives the impression of entering a nightclub, the interior quickly transforms into a cafe.

An open kitchen surrounded by an open garden, under dim red lights, could be perfect for a Lolita first date. Admittedly, we got a little cold there. While the heating system was somewhat inadequate given the open space, you can solve that with a warm chocolate or mulled wine to warm you up.

Address:

Chovelidze St. 7, Tbilisi, Georgia

Stamba

On the first morning of our second day in Tbilisi, we knocked on Stamba's door to have something to eat.

Located in the heart of the city, Stamba is a massive building with a hotel on the upper floors and a café on the ground floor. It serves both hotel guests and outside customers.

Upon entering the hotel, you are first greeted by a huge library, then the doors open to the cafe area.

And this is the most beautiful cafe in the city…

With its spacious seating areas, airy atmosphere, welcoming bar, and cuisine, it's as if it's saying "Welcome to Tbilisi"...

It should also be noted that the service staff are very attentive and caring.

So if you come to Tbilisi, you should definitely visit this place.

Reserve a table here for breakfast or dinner.

Address:

Kostava st. 14 Stamba Hotel, Tbilisi, Georgia.

Factory

There's really no need to describe the factory in detail; it's a place familiar to almost everyone who's been to Tbilisi, and even those who haven't.

Located in the Old Town area, the factory, as its name suggests, was converted from a former factory dating back to the Soviet era.

The upper floors consist of a hotel and hostel, while the lower floors house a huge café.

In the garden area, you'll find communal spaces, bars, and walls adorned with graffiti…

If you come to Tbilisi, even if you don't stay here, I recommend you stop by the factory for a coffee break.

Address:

8 Egnate Ninoshvili St, Tbilisi, Georgia

Shavi Lomi

If you were to ask me which restaurant in Tbilisi has my favorite decor, I would definitely say Shavi Lomi.

You'll truly feel like you're in a Georgian home; it's a colorful place, and the food is amazing.

Shavi Lomi, located within walking distance of the factory, is on the list of Tbilisi's best restaurants.

There's not much need to write here; the photos speak for themselves. This is definitely one of the places to add to your list for your trip to Tbilisi.

Address:

28 Zurab Kvlividze St, Tbilisi, Georgia

Puri Guliani

On the morning of the third day, we set off for breakfast, heading towards the best breakfast spot in the Old Town area…

Puri Guliani, located next to the Saarbrücken bridge…

A huge patisserie greets you at the entrance. The wonderful aroma of coffee fills the air. We went upstairs and had our breakfast while enjoying the magnificent view of the bridge.

After some enjoyable moments, we immediately headed towards the flea market located on the bridge. If a flea market is on your list of places to visit in Tbilisi, I highly recommend stopping by here beforehand.

Maspindzelo Express

Have you ever discovered a place that wasn't on your list? Of course I have!

Maspindzelo Express was one of them; we came across it while wandering around trying to decide when to spend time having a snack before Keto and Kote, where we had a reservation for dinner.

I'm so glad we went; the entrance made you feel like you were in a European country from the outside, and the interior was just as beautiful.

With its minimalist paintings on the wall and its decor that was a mix of modern and vintage, it was dazzling.

Here we drank Georgian wine and tried khinkali, which we know as Georgia's famous dumplings.

I can say that although we discovered this place by chance, you should definitely visit it.

Address:

20 Giorgi Akhvlediani St, Tbilisi, Georgia

Keto and Kote

Keto and Kote was one of the first restaurants we wanted to visit when we arrived in Tbilisi…

But unfortunately, it will always remain in my memory as a place where we were turned away at the door because we went in unannounced and they operate with a reservation system.

Luckily, we managed to book a reservation for our last night in Tbilisi. And here we were on our final night.

The restaurant, named after the 1948 film directed by Vakhtang Tabliashvili, also served as a filming location for that movie.

The moment you step inside, you are instantly captivated; the enormous chandeliers, candelabras, and candles illuminate the space, making you feel as if you are in a castle.

With its attentive service, delicious food, and vibrant atmosphere, Keto and Kote will blow your mind.

Definitely add it to your list.
