In early January 2025, during a weekend trip to Gudauri, we stumbled upon Kakhaberi restaurant near Bibliani.
What a discovery it turned out to be! Nestled along the route to the mountains, this place is a treasure trove of authentic Georgian cuisine, offering a delightful mix of great food, efficient service, and genuine hospitality.
Our experience was memorable from the moment we stepped in. The food was not only amazing but also served promptly—a blessing when traveling with a young child. The staff, fluent in English, made communication effortless and added to the welcoming atmosphere.
For myself, I decided to try 50 ml of their locally made brandy, only to be generously served what felt like at least 120 ml. The taste? Absolutely delightful, especially when mixed with Georgian lemonade—a unique pairing I highly recommend. Meanwhile, our kiddo enjoyed a feast of French fries, kebab, and her all-time favorite, tkemali (Georgian plum sauce). Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care.
On our way back to Tbilisi, we couldn’t resist making another stop at Kakhaberi. This time, I ordered their homemade brandy for takeaway—an incredible bargain at just GEL 15. Conveniently, the restaurant accepts VISA cards, making payment hassle-free.
Kakhaberi stands out for its true and authentic Georgian cuisine, served in a warm and inviting setting. Whether you’re heading to Gudauri or simply exploring the area, this spot is a must-visit. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to—just as we did!
