The Meal That Surprised Us Most in Kutaisi

En-route to Batumi, we paused one night in mellow, leafy Kutaisi—and stumbled into the tastiest dinner of the trip so far. 📍 Palaty 2-min walk from White Bridge, 5-min from Fountain Square No reservation needed at 20:00; tables were open Vibe: walls plastered with traveller sticky-notes, mismatched table-cloths, live piano + cello duo (applause after every piece) 🎹🎻 What We Ordered (thanks to the Chinese girls at the next table) 1️⃣ Fried Pork with Mushroom & Cream Crispy coat, juicy inside; mushrooms swim in a silky cream that doubles as spaghetti sauce—drip it over everything. 2️⃣ Spaghetti Bolognese House-made noodles, tangy-sweet balance spot-on for Asian palates; we wiped the plate with Georgian shoti bread. 3️⃣ Mexican Potato ⭐ Baked potato loaded with corn-bean salsa, melted cheese & smoky paprika. Slather each bite in the side garlic-cream—flavour fireworks. Service slow but synchronized—all three dishes landed together (Instagram gratitude). Bill: ~60 GEL for two, no service charge, tummy happiness included. (We’d tried Sisters first—no resy, only a tiny table + cover fee—so we bailed. Zero regrets: Palaty delivered comfort, music and cream-drenched pork perfection.) #Georgia #Imereti #Kutaisi
