I love to eat out and Tbilisi is city which offers plenty of restaurants for a very affordable prices. I'm no expert but I feel like I know Georgian cuisine pretty well. My favourite dishes - fresh tomato and cucumber salads accomplished with grilled meat, but I will not give up on khinkhali, khachapuri and of course a cup of Turkish coffee.
When heading to a new place I take my phone and instagram food, the result is bellow.

During our time at Keti's bistro we were the only guests and that helped. Baby girl was happily running …
