Old Borjomi
Once you have freshened up, head into town for a traditional Georgian dinner. Old Borjomi is one of the best restaurants in town to try local cuisine.
Georgia has a lot of regional dishes, but they also have classics. You must try 'Khinkali', a small dumpling filled with a meaty stew. Another traditional dish is 'Khachapuri', but be warned, this can be very rich and heavy. Khachapuri is bread baked in the shape of a boat and then filled with cheese and egg on top and sometimes a stick of butter. Traditionally, you would break off the bread crust to dip it into the dairy-filled center.
Opening Hours: Monday – Sunday: 10:00 – 23:00
