A wonderful legend about the origin of the recipes, wonderful staff (well-trained, inconspicuous, but very attentive). Besides, when I flew to Tbilisi for a couple of days, I was terrified of food. It's delicious, but very monotonous and heavy. And Barbarestan is a deeply and almost molecularly processed classic that leaves you wanting to try other dishes. Excellent serving, competent sommelier, well done. It's quite an Instagram point of attraction.

Everything was just top notch! The cuisine is interesting, unique, not for every day, but to surprise and pamper yourself, you should definitely visit this place! Special thanks to the musicians for the unforgettable atmosphere!

This is a wonderful spiritual corner for meetings with friends, cozy, homely, a small cafe, good cuisine, you can choose for dieters. A large selection of dishes and wines. We liked the amber. In short, come on in, you won't regret it. The staff speaks Russian too.

A great restaurant. The interior is very cozy. Interesting storytelling both about the restaurant itself and about the menu, which, by the way, changes every two months so that guests can try as many dishes as possible from the very cookbook of the early 20th century, which, according to legend, formed the basis for the creation of the restaurant. The cuisine is author's, Georgian rather in terms of ingredients, in fact closer to European. After a week, khinkali and khachapuri are just like a breath of fresh air. Probably the best restaurant in Tbilisi that I visited during two trips.

It was incredibly delicious and beautiful! All the dishes look like works of art. The prices bite a little, but it is absolutely justified. Service, food, interior for 10/10! In honor of my birthday, I also received a free dessert as a compliment. In general, if you are in Tbilisi, be sure to visit this restaurant 😊

A place with a claim to fine cuisine , good service , but no food . The recipes, as the manager told me from an old book purchased at a flea market... the legend is normal, the execution is a complete disappointment against the background of inadequately high prices.

It was February 14th The menu has changed since autumn and summer. For the worse The dishes are more spicy, smoked, and saturated. strange combinations. Taste does not often make friends with each other It's not as delicious as it used to be. But I didn't eat anything at all. Staff and service are 10/10, everything is stable here Ps. Dear Barbarian, return the duck to the menu, please

Great restaurant, excellent service. I haven't seen such etiquette anywhere, there were 3 plates. In expensive restaurants, they put 2, and here 3 (for bread and butter), as is correct. If you go out for a smoke, the waiter brings out an ashtray and wine. They open the doors there , put a napkin on their feet In general, it was wonderful 👍

A wonderful restaurant for connoisseurs of fine cuisine. If you want not just to "eat delicious food", but to enjoy the aesthetics of the restaurant and cuisine, then you are here. All the staff is very professional, we were very satisfied. The prices are above average, but they fully justify themselves 5/5

We celebrated our birthday with a small company. Most likely the best place in Tbilisi. Haute cuisine with a hint of Georgian. It's expensive, but definitely worth it. There is no wine list, but the sommelier is willing to offer wines of any price category. The whole company was left in awe. I do not attach photos of the dishes-be sure to try them yourself.

Let's go after reading the reviews. We were booked, but when they came they wanted to put us in a walk-through cabinet, where there was a hanger and there was a passage to the toilet, after the claim we were transferred to the common room, not a single dish came to us, not even compote. It's all pathos and the statement: "it's delicious." It was not tasty for us, out of 6 people, none.

Good afternoon! I was surprised by the reviews 100% after visiting this restaurant. They invented a story with an ancient book that they found, and they are now cooking according to the recipes of this book. The cuisine is far from Georgian, it is more tailored to European .....I did not like anything. Maxim, the eldest in the restaurant, imposes dishes himself, since there is no Russian translation on the menu, he also picks up the wine himself, at prices it turns out to be a complete surprise, the check is sky-high. Outerwear is hung on top of each other on standing hangers, it takes a lot of time to find clothes. Pathetic, not tasty (absolutely not in Georgian) and delicious!!!

It is a very atmospheric place, as if you are visiting a Georgian princess, in fact, according to her recipes, the menu is compiled here. Interesting serving of dishes, high service, beautiful table setting, if you want to try another Georgian cuisine and plunge into the refined atmosphere, you are here. They will meet and conduct you at the highest level! The check is above average.

The food is too salty, the waiter Maxim is very intrusive, he sold wine and food not the way they wanted. As a result, then he said, "I told you not to advertise it." There were 650 laras for three people. These are not the top restaurants in the world, as they position themselves. The usual divorce for tourists. The cuisine is NOT Georgian.

Very tasty cuisine. The place is pleasant. We made a surprise in honor of the fact that we had a holiday on this day. The only negative was treated to some water and included in the receipt. Well, it wasn't serious somehow) The waiter Maxim told about the history of the institution, which he also liked very much. We will definitely come back for a new portion of unusual Georgian cuisine

A chic restaurant with authentic local cuisine. Waiter Maxim will make your dinner perfect. He will tell the history of the restaurant, help with the choice, pick up the wine. I have never been greeted so warmly anywhere else. The check for one came out 144 with a glass of wine, but it reflects the quality.

I was here 7 years ago and then I wrote an enthusiastic review on fb. Then everything was fine: the food, the wine, and the service. But times seem to be changing. The food is delicious, although not so good anymore. An ordinary simple wine, after being kept in a bottle for 3 years after bottling, turned into a bitter mess. The service is good, I didn't notice any intrusiveness. The price tag was deservedly horse, now undeservedly horse. There are restaurants in this price category that are a cut above.

The food is very tasty, I change the menu 1 time a month. They cook according to some old book from 1904. The service is at a high level, they will tell you everything, show you. The interior of the 20th century is very beautiful. 200 GEL is too much for two main dishes, a snack and compote.

Great restaurant! Georgian cuisine is not familiar and traditional, as in most Georgian restaurants, but based on rare ancient recipes. Excellent table setting, original serving of dishes. The restaurant is focused more on the European visitor. Delicious, beautiful, expensive.

At the same time, there is a museum, a theater and a concert hall. In which they also do not feed banal food. But there is no point in visiting more than once, it will not be so interesting anymore. Expensive. GEL 150 for dinner for one person.
