New Asia
11/5 Alexander Griboedov StOne of the best Chinese restaurants in town.
If I want to eat well and cheap, I go to a café which is already well known by almost all Tbilisians. You must try Khachapuri with well-known “Lagidze Lemonade”. This lemonade’s unique recipe was created by Mitophane Lagidze and is based only on natural ingredients. It was the “calling card” of Tbilisi and in 2013 it got the status of intangible cultural heritage of the country. I drink mostly chocolate mixed with cream.

The ride up Mt Mtatsminda on the recently reconstructed Funicular is spectacular, as are the views from the top – and the Funicular Complex restaurant building has a couple of great places to eat or drink.
