CAFE VERDE
Verde is a is a romantic, Italian-inspired restaurant perched high in the Tbilisi hills, affording guests a beautiful view of the city from its large garden. The menu is largely Italian, but with surprises of Georgian and Asian-inspired dishes as well, along with basic ‘American’ staples like steak, cheesecake, and club sandwiches. Additionally, their selection of seafood is surprisingly diverse and good for a country that tends to fare better with land-based options. They have live music many nights.
The service can be quite slow – so don’t come too hungry!

GARDENIA SHEVARDNADZE
Enter the enchanted garden created through the love and effort that Zura Shevardnadze and his team keep putting into it. Buying plants and lovely boho-style decorations for your home, developing a design for your own garden, having a tea or lemonade with fantastic cakes or snapping a new profile picture are just some of the reasons to visit Gardenia.
The location is not central, so you might need a taxi, or take bus #36, #48 or #111 from metro station Station Square 2. The trip is totally worth it! The concentration of
cuteness and good taste is simply immense.
