Delicious Experience 🤩 - Mood Lodging at Geo Restaurante
Anyone who knows us knows that we love to travel, not only from experience, but we also love meeting people and trying new gastronomies.
Georgia is undoubtedly a country that we really want to visitand yesterday we decided to anticipate our gastronomic experience and went to the Geo Restaurant in Caldas da Rainha. It was a magnificent experience, from the service to the quality of the food. We had the privilege of being served by Chef Archil Shinjikashvili, super professional and attentive, he shared his history, explained in detail each starter, each main dish, desserts and each Georgian wine (very interesting options too).
The starters were Khinkluskas with hot sauce, Khachapuri and Ajapsandali with quail eggs.
Khinkluscas is a dish that was inspired by the traditional Khinkalis, a Georgian dish produced by mountain herders. They consist of small pastries of fresh dough filled with minced meat, aromatic herbs and spices. Khachapuri is a pastry filled with cheese, considered one of Georgia's national delicacies. And finally Ajapsandali with quail eggs which is a vegetable stew inside an eggplant and culminating with quail eggs on top.
As the main dish, we chose the Chef's recommendation, the Chicken because it is one of the main dishes that most resembles Georgian cuisine due to the sauce, which is really phenomenal. Georgian wines, as we did not know, the Chef brought 3 different ones to taste, all of the same caste, but with totally different palates.
To finish in the best way, we chose the Chocolate Terrine, very very good !!!
Thank you very much Archil, undoubtedly an experience...
Read moreDelicious and healthy restaurant! We entered this restaurant by chance and it resulted to be a great experience. Very surprised to have found a Georgian inspired restaurant in a city as Caldas. We loved the fact that food was extremely fresh and you could perceive all ingredients were high quality ones.
We ordered two appetizers and two mains. We had the cheese-filled bread - it was a great surprise, in love with it! And the filled eggplant!
As mains we had the free-range chicken and the roasted pumpkin. Both dishes were very well balanced both nutritionally flavor wise.
The treatment and passion of the guys running the restaurant was also a high plus.
To mention something to improve, we were slightly concerned about the prices of the fish. Considering Portugal has a lot of fresh fish in restaurant which is easy to reach, it might stop Portuguese people from ordering that piece (it stopped us). For the rest,...
Read moreWhat a delightful surprise. We were looking for an early dinner (like 18:00) and came across Geo Wine and Supra. We walked in without any idea of what to expect. Georgian wine (who knew?) and Portuguese/Georgian fusion tapas! Nice atmosphere, great soundtrack, and the service was very friendly. The server gave us tastes of three different Georgian wines so we could pick the one we liked. We ordered the cheese plate, bread (which came hot) and Croquette de Frango, but before those came we were served a small appetizer of pork cheeks, mushrooms and kimchi. Delicious. So much cheese. Great bread. And the croquette was incredible. Oh yeah,...
