Leuville — Restaurant in Batumi

ONE star, for interior. The rest should be greatly improved. Starting from the reception, we were waiting for the waiter, we even bushed the call button several times, but in vain. I think hey have the new technology- Syscall , just to show off. It took us long time too wait for our 5 different kinds of Khachapuris. We have heard their special 4 cheese Acharuli Khachapuri, but it appeared just a nice, but cheap marketing. The dough was good, but the taste of cheese nothing special to overpay it. Another our order was two Acharulis with dough, egg and one Acharuli without dough and egg and one Khachapuri with beans and ham. In that case the taste was good enough, but again nothing special comparing to price. And the last Khachapuri with beans and ham - it was just spicy beens with two smallest pieces of ham in and 3 chilly small peppers in it, again big disappointment. We still were happy and enjoying our family time, until my younger daughter face black hair in her Khachapuri. She felt horrible. We called the waitress, she took it without a word of apology. While paying the bill she seemed as we committed a crime. The staff did not include the price of haired Kachapuri, but Her mimes were unacceptable and very unpleasant. P.S. None of us have black thick hair 🤮🤢 Uploading...

So it’s true — what looks good isn’t always what it seems.

The café gave a great first impression: modern, quaint, and lively enough that we thought it would be a nice spot to sit down. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the setting. The staff seemed disengaged, more interested in chatting amongst themselves than attending to guests — and this was in an almost empty restaurant.

We thought we’d just enjoy a couple of drinks in the sunshine. My friend ordered a Mojito, and I asked for a Margarita. Along with that, we got some fries and corn chips with dips. Somehow, the order turned into a Mojito and a Margarita pizza. A mix-up happens, sure — but we decided to accept it and paid for it anyway. Sadly, the pizza was underwhelming: bland tomatoes and a heavy layer of cheese that did nothing to save the flavor.

To top the already bad experience - we were interrupted by a homeless person entering the restaurant premises - demanding for money from us and hurling abuses at us!! She was later asked to exit by one of the waiters. Unexpected behaviour. My first such encounter.

Overall, it felt overhyped with a very limited menu. Not a place...

Leuville is one of our "to-go" places for Adjaruli Khachapuri. Sometimes I order their fusion-styled Adjaruli Khachapuri with 4 cheeses and arugula. Perfect and stable quality (a rare combination) and presentation with attention to detail: usually butter is not frozen, and the yolk is separated from the egg white. The cheese filling is not too salty, it stretches well.

Interior is nice, stained-glass windows are used.

There is an air-conditioned terrace outside the restaurant. The restaurant has a separate children's toilet room, where the plumbing is mounted appropriately.

Improvement suggestions: sometimes tables need to be prepared (cleaned up).

Staff providing good service, usually Giga usually serves us during weekend brunch with needed attention. We never experienced any noticeable or critical delays during our brunches. Last time we got recommendations for lunch/dinner, so we'll give it a try.
