სვანური ფარდული • Svanetian stall — Restaurant in Mestia

I really wanted to like the place. I loved the atmosphere, the smell was great and the people were nice.

However, we had to wait for almost an hour an half for the food, Which I would mind less if it was good.

The whole place is built to tell the story of a bbq, but nothing is being prepared like that. The duck was good but no sauce even though the menu says so.

The roasted potatoes weren’t roasted but cooked.

The chicken wings were ok but maybe the least interesting wings I ever had, with no sauce at all. worst part for me was the lamb ribs which supposed to be the best part of the meat (and the most tender). It was way overcooked and was so small it almost had no meat on it. And it was the most expensive dish (40 lari)

All the dishes were super small

Also important to note that the order of service was very weird.

I ordered also a special sauce for 5 lari - and it arrived after we almost finished eating.

I also ordered soup, because the nice guy (I think the owner) recommended greatly - and it arrived half an hour after all the rest of the food - so I just told the nice waiter that I can’t have it it’s too late but I can pay for it. the owner told me he cooked it for 20 minutes for me. I said it’s just way too late I’m done eating it made no sense.

The beer was nice but very expensive.

I read the reviews so I checked the menu how much we should pay - the waiter told us a higher price, and then we calculated together and arrived at a price Lower in 20 lari.

Just an overall bad experience, which is a shame. The owner was so good at selling the experience to us and taking the order and after that everything just fell apart.

Can’t recommend...

Amazing find! The food is super tasty and feels really authentic – you can tell everything is fresh and homemade. The bread is soft and warm, the fillings are packed with flavor, and the portions are generous. Prices are great too. The people running the stall are friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If you’re nearby, definitely stop and try it – you won’t be...

The best food I had in Georgia. The owner is really awesome guy with great history about being on Netflix programm and farm with ducks you can eat at his BBQ. You just come there and have the best dinner ever. Also he serves great desserts, coffee and lemonade. He speaks English very well and...
