Heard many good things about this restaurant and their foods (especially the burger) and their wine list so decided to go and try their dishes myself.
First, I was pleasently surprised since I was greeted with smiling faces of the staff.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was cool, it's in two levels, in the ground floor they have the bar, few tables, a piano and upstairs they have more seating space. Was eating alone so the ground floor was perfect for me but for dates I would prefer sitting upstairs.
Not big fan of vegan/vegetarian interpretations of famous meat dishes since usually they are more catered to the person who eats meat and "has no taste". Must say, was really surprised about their burger, the patty was tasty and overall the all the ingredients balanced each other and created perfect harmony in your mouth. The sides were great too, nice side salad with few pieces of fried eggplant/zucchini fries.
As for desert I decided to go for the carrot cake (recommended by the staff) and coffee. Cake was quite different from what I've used to in Finland but still extremely tasty and went perfectly down with their americano.
I was also helped to choose a wine to accompany my burger and the red wine I chose was titled as "georgian rioja". The description fit well and indeed it tasted like some of the younger rioja wines I've tried.
For me the experience was 5/5 and will go and sample more of their dishes (and especially wines) :)
P.S. I think given the current situation of rising costs of basically everything the prices were okay for a restaurant in Central Tbilisi. Visited many restaurants here in which the prices were higher and quality of the ingredients lower. Paid around 20€...
Read moreCreative Vegan Food and Interesting Wines. I really wish I could give Living Vino 5 stars and they have a ton of potential but there are some hits and misses here. They have very creative vegan food that is a healthy break from local fare. Some of the dishes have been excellent but a couple have been off. I really enjoyed the truffled mushroom tagliatelle and my wife loved her pesto gnocchi and the seaweed salad is really a work of art, with the combination of peanuts and seaweed with their special dressing . However, when my vegan borguignon came out it was served on a bed of mashed potatoes that were barely warm. We did the tasting along with the sausage board on both visits and the first time the sausage was amazing but the second time is was just watery, curried tofu (or maybe satan). Their choice of wines is excellent but unfortunately the pours for both the tasting and the glasses are really small and that is quite disappointing here in this country in a restaurant named after wine. The staff here are great and are very enthusiastic. It is still worth a visit for a nice change of pace and if they can tighten up the kitchen and be a bit more generous with their portions of wine and food then it could be...
Read moreWhen vegan tastes delicious as it’s not vegan… Amazing small restaurant with delicious food and great wine list. Probably one of the best places in Tbilisi in my opinion. Prices here are a little higher than in other vegan places, but the quality is absolutely worth it! Menu is not very big but each dish is so gourmet and they use great quality products👍 I had one of the best vegan burgers here, and an amazing schnitzel. And the staff is really kind and friendly❤️ Don’t even doubt - it’s a great choice. You’ll be...
