The other day I did took a camera I recently acquired and went on a long long walk around Tbilisi to improve my photography skills and probably reviewing some local place. Soon after I finished shots on Rustaveli avenue I headed near Liberty square taking turn on Alexander Pushkin street. One of my first stops were a local Georgian boutique shops of Georgian cheeses, spices and even a liqueur (chacha) - Aristaues.
Since I were more into a photography than buying something here I decided to add this place on my blog, and show you some pictures I managed to capture here.
In brief - I believe Aristaeus boutique shop is a great place for those in hurry, willing to buy some Georgian spices (or cheese) as souvenir. Indeed it's a good one stop buying place to get all of these goodies at once. Even more they all are packaged in nice looking jars and labelled with nice looking labels. Enjoy!

It's advertised here they are selling cheese from nunnery of Phoka, if you are not familiar what is nunnery of Phoka - in short it's kinda a monastery where nuns produces cheese. Phoka is located in region of Samtskhe Javakheti.

The bottom line
I believe Aristaeus boutiqe shop for spices or cheese is ideal choice for those looking to buy some souvenirs to take with them if leaving Georgia. Prices here are a bit pircey compared to those located in Dezerteer Bazaar for example, but hey you are paying for a packaging. If you are into a small jars, nice looking labels - you will love this place.
