About Us

Svaneti cuisine

It is a special and unique feeling when you come down from the mountains, and you are greeted by the aromas of juicy khachapuri, and a light smoke from a barbecue. You sit down in a bamboo chair, stretch your legs, and look forward to delicious food and intimate conversations at the table.

You need look at the menu, and choose!

Three conditions for delicious national food

the key to a pleasant trip to Svaneti

Quality
We cook in the Svan oven, using environmentally friendly firewood from local tree species. For cooking, we take water from the purest mountain springs.
Authenticity
For more than thirty years we have been cooking according to the old recipes of Svaneti. This is how our grandmothers and great-grandmothers cooked.
Price
We do not inflate our prices in principle, even in such a tourist region as Svaneti.

Continuity of tradition...
For several thousand years, the culinary traditions of Svaneti have been passed down from generation to generation unchanged.
Many folk recipes use plants that grow exclusively in our mountains and river valleys. This is one of the secrets of Svan cuisine.
We bake Svan bread the way our grandmothers and great-grandmothers did before us.
All dishes are prepared on a real Svan oven.
We use the purest water from waterfalls and mountain springs, and firewood from local wood species.

For more than thirty years we have been delighting travelers with delicious food.
Living antiquity...
The national flavor of the Svans is not only towers and machubi, it is the smell of cedar smoke, the noise of Inguri, and the taste of food cooked according to ancient recipes.

If you want to fully immerse yourself in the centuries-old tradition of Svaneti, then our kitchen will help you with this.

We cook the same dishes that our distant ancestors ate, who were the first to build high towers here, and stretched suspension bridges.
