Ultimate GEORGIAN FOOD & ATTRACTIONS Tour!! Cheesy Khachapuri + Khinkali | Tbilisi, Georgia
🇬🇪 TRAVEL TBILISI:
🇬🇪 LEARN MORE ABOUT GEORGIA:
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
After arriving in my 84th country, the Republic of Georgia, I set out bright and early the next morning to begin my exploration of its capital city, Tbilisi! Come with me as I dive into some authentic Georgian food and check out the sights and attractions of Tbilisi, Georgia!
My morning began with my guide, Sophie from Travel Tbilisi, who would be showing me around the capital for the next couple of days. Today, we’d be focusing on the historical center!
We started off at Freedom Square, which used to be Lenin Square during Soviet times. After the Soviet Union fell, the statue of Lenin was removed and replaced with a statue of St. George, the guardian of Georgia.
Then, we saw Tbilisi Sioni Cathedral, which actually dates back to the 6th and 7th centuries, but was destroyed by invaders. The current church was rebuilt in the 13th century.
In the very back is the cross, which is made from grave vines. From there, we headed to the Tbileli Caravanserai. It was an 18th-century hotel used during the Silk Road times.
Next, we headed down a lane of restaurants with terraces and approached the 4th-century Narikala Fortress, which sits atop a hill.
Instead, we saw the Kura River and the Peace Bridge across it before arriving at Metekhi Church, where there’s a statue of King Vakhtang.
The 13th-century church has been destroyed and rebuilt, and during Soviet times, it became a theatre. You can see the stones and bricks from different eras on the exterior!
Next, we visited Leghvtakhevi Waterfall, a hidden gem near the Sulfur Baths of Tbilisi. There’s a statue of the falcon there, 17th-century bathhouses, and other 19th-century buildings.
At the end of the boardwalk along the springs is Leghvtakhevi Waterfall. The buildings you pass on the way are built on the edges of cliffs and exhibit typical Tbilisi architecture.
Next, we drove two minutes to Rigi, a rustic but modern restaurant serving traditional Georgian cuisine. They were baking bread in a tone oven, as well as dedas puri (a type of bread).
They also were making sulguni cheese, Megreli khachapuri (cheesy bread made with 3 cheeses), tkemali (an herbal vegetable soup), and khinkali (Georgian dumplings) filled with beef and pork.
At our table, we started with three types of chacha, which is similar to grapa and raki. To eat the khinkali, you take a tiny bite and suck the soup out. Then, you eat the khinkali except for the little handle.
We also had mountain pork, dedas puri, sulguni cheese, eggplant, and Megreli khachapuri. The khinkali was thick and the meat inside was juicy and full of onion flavor.
Next, I jumped on a craft beer and the khachapuri, which was incredible! It was almost like a pizza! The three cheeses were creamy and really filling. The chachas were strong!
The pastes with eggplant; sulguni with puri; and walnut salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley, mountain pork, and sunflower oil were amazing. The pork was similar to prosciutto, and the salad was very refreshing.
We also got some kebabs and shkmeruli (fried chicken in a garlic-milk-cottage cheese sauce). The shkmeruli was insane and reminded me of creamy chicken pasta dishes my Italian grandmother used to make.
The kebab was wrapped in thin, lavash-like bread and was full of light but flavorful spices. The leeks with walnut were amazing, but the kind with the plum sauce was better. I also loved the eggplant with peppers and creamy paste.
The tone puri with hazelnut paste was also really great with some cheese. We finished with Pelamushi, a frozen grape juice dessert with sunflower, cherry tomato sorbet, and white chocolate.

The BIGGEST FISH MARKET in GEORGIA!! Georgian Seafood + Market Tour | Batumi, Georgia
🇬🇪 FRIENDLY GE:
After over a week of traveling around the Republic of Georgia, I finally made it to the final city on my whirlwind trip, Batumi! Come along with me as I try some local Georgian cuisine and check out the sites and culture of Batumi, Georgia!
Batumi is the second-largest city in Georgia and the capital of the Adjara region. It’s located on the Black Sea and is known for its gambling. In fact, its nickname is “The Las Vegas of the Black Sea!” It’s also famous for its unique Adjarian cuisine!
🇬🇪 LEARN MORE ABOUT GEORGIA:
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
My boy Tim from Friendly GE and I started our morning at Batumi Fish Market, the largest fish market in the country. It opens at 10 a.m. and sells fish from the Black Sea, nearby rivers, and fish farms.
Inside, the vendors were just starting to set up their catch. One woman we met was selling dorado fish, salmon, sturgeon, prawns, and oysters. We went with some wild Black Sea salmon for GEL 52/$17 USD. She gutted and cleaned it for us as well!
At another vendor, we saw shrimp, tiny octopus, dorada, sea bass, salmon, and more. There were so many options! I hadn’t seen the small octopus. We took 5 of them for GEL 10/$4 USD and 3 prawns for GEL 9/$4 USD.
Then, we got some Turkish coffee, which was thick and strong. Then, we bought 5 oysters for GEL 20/$7 USD. In total, we had only spent about $30 USD!
The fish market is next to the port area, and there are lots of restaurants nearby that will cook up your fish for you!
We headed to Blue Wave Restaurant, where they charge GEL 6/$2 USD per kilo you want them to cook. We gave them our fish and then we headed back into the kitchen to watch them prepare everything! To the salmon, they added oil, paprika, oregano, and more.
After 15 minutes, our seafood feast was ready! We got a table out on the pier by the water and dug in!
The wild grilled salmon was buttery and delicious but had some bones in it. I loved the oil, paprika, and oregano. There’s nothing like fresh fish!
Next were the grilled octopus, which was both weird and amazing. I loved the tentacles and the paprika-oregano-oil sauce on them. It was too good!
Then, we jumped on the oysters, which we added a splash of lemon to. They were nice and briny! Then, we took the shell and legs off the shrimp, which were fresh and succulent!
After eating with a fork, I just dug in with my hands. It was easier and the food was fantastic! I finished with one last oyster and a bit more salmon and then our wine arrived!
It was a MaNavi dry white wine from the Kakheti region. It was perfect with the seafood and the hot weather. What an amazing experience!

Ozurgeti - Lesa (Georgian Roads)
Из Озургети в Ланчхути восстановили короткий путь через Лесу. Построили в последние годы правления националов. С одной стороны честь им и хвала, ибо сейчас это дорога, а не направление, короткая и более-менее нормальная. Сравнивать с тем что было невозможно, ибо никому и в голову не могло прийти ехать в Ланчхути этим путем до строительства. С другой стороны, как и всё перед выборами, делалось наспех и кое-как, лишь бы отчитаться, поэтому в некоторых местах подушку размыло и полотно разрушилось. Но мест таких буквально единицы и лично я на трезвую голову предпочитаю ехать в Озургети через Чохатаури, а возвращаться с похмелья именно через Лесу. По километражу выходит километров на 10 длиннее, чем через Чохатаури с его насакиральским и бурнатским перевалами, но по времени минут 10 отыгрываешь за счет того, что от Лесы до Саджавахо гонишь по трассе, а не по серпантину.

Georgian STREET FOOD MARKET Tour!! Exploring Gori + Ancient Cave City | Georgia
🇬🇪 FRIENDLY GE:
My travels in the central part of the Republic of Georgia continued in the city of Gori. Join me as we try some local Georgian food and check out all the things you need to see and do in Gori, Georgia!
Gori dates back to the Hellenistic period and is located just an hour west of Tbilisi. It’s now the capital of the Shida Kartli region. It’s known for its famous fortress and has been a strategically important military location for centuries. It’s also the birthplace of the infamous Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
🇬🇪 LEARN MORE ABOUT GEORGIA:
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
My boy Tim from Friendly GE and I began our morning at Gori Fortress, a medieval citadel that dates back to ancient times. However, the current version of the fortress was reconstructed in the 18th century. It’s situated on a rocky hill high in the middle of the city.
Then, we drove through the old center of Gori, where there are lots of old homes and churches. I couldn’t wait to check out the bazaar. But first we stopped at the Joseph Stalin Museum, which is all about the brutal dictator of the USSR.
The museum contains his old home, his private train car that he traveled around the USSR in. His home is an ordinary village home, which they took apart and rebuilt here. It has a terrace and a cellar. He lived there from his birth in 1879 to 1883.
Gori Bazaar is a big flea market and produce market. It recently burned down, so they moved it by the bus station, about 20 minutes away. We found a bakery that sells lobiani and a sweet bread called kada. They gave us some kada for free!
I also got to see them make dough and bake bread. Then, I tried some lobiani, which contained bean filling. I loved the char on the outside and the spice! It had a nice kick to it!
They also gave us some tonis puri, which was fresh, crunchy, and hot out of the oven. The amount of fresh bread you’ll eat in Georgia is amazing!
Then, we found the new bazaar, which was covered. I could see vendors selling tools, fruit, and vegetables. It was a chilly Saturday morning, so there weren’t a lot of people there.
We me a woman shelling walnuts who let us try them. Walnuts can be found throughout Georgian cuisine! She gave me some wine and also sold dried chilies. The wine was young, almost like juice!
Next, we tried some sala, or pork belly, that was covered in spices. It was really spicy and contained red pepper. It was amazing!
Then, Tim and I headed to Uplistsikhe Cave Town, which was the largest city in Georgia in ancient times. It costs GEL 15/$5 USD to get in.
The cave city was destroyed by invaders and an earthquake, so much of it is in ruin. On the map at the entrance, you can see the main road, fortifications, main tower, and more.
Then, we went inside the cave dwellings, which looked out over the area. Because of the damage it sustained from the earthquake, parts of it are unstable and are held up by new pillars.
Uplistsikhe Cave Town was inhabited from before Christ, but its height was in the 12th century. It reminded me of Cappadocia!
The site is pockmarked with caves and ruined structures, as well as homes and wells. We saw Queen Tamar’s Hall, a mostly collapsed structure that belonged to a queen who became king in the 12th-13th century. We also saw her wine cellar and the remains of her qvevries.
We also saw the remains of the three-nave cathedral and hiked up to the very top to get views of the church and the area.

After arriving in Batumi, the final city on my epic road trip through the Republic of Georgia, I set out to explore the city! Come along with me as I try a monster Adjarian khachapuri and visit the sites and attractions in Batumi, Georgia!
My buddy Tim from Friendly GE and I started our afternoon at Batumi Beach. It’s a beautiful spot next to Batumi Boulevard and the boardwalk. There’s a Ferris wheel there.

👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
One of the main sites is a huge, moving statue of a Muslim Azerbaijani boy and a Christian Georgian girl called Ali and Nino – The Statue of Love. It’s based on a novel and represents love between different cultures.
Also in the area is the Alphabetic Tower, which has all 33 letters of the Georgian alphabet on its exterior. There are also hotels, coffee shops, souvenir shops, and bars in the area. I wished I’d brought my bathing suit, as it was super hot!
After a 15-minute walk down the boulevard, we came across the Dancing Fountains and a park area, and the skyscrapers of the city. Between the trees and the fountains, it was a bit cooler there! There’s also a wedding palace shaped like a UFO!
The Old Town of Batumi looked very European, with 3-4 story buildings and 19th-century architecture. On our way to the piazza, we passed the Neptune Fountain and the Statue of Medea, an ancient Georgian princess who helped the Argonauts find the Golden Fleece!
The architecture in the squares looked like a big mix of different architectural styles, from German to Austrian to Bulgarian.
Further on is the Astronomical Clock, which shows the time of day, the time of month, and the time of year. After a quick drink from a water fountain, we reached Batumi Piazza, an open square surrounded by restaurants and bars.
Then, we headed to Retro Restaurant to eat their colossal Titanic Khachapuri! Inside, I met Chef Gia, who took us through the steps of making this monstrous creation! It’s a massive, boat-shaped khachapuri that’s 3-4 times the size of a regular one and contains 3 kilos of cheese as well as six eggs and butter! They scoop out the excess bread inside.
The building used to be the English consulate. Boat-shaped Adjarian khachapuri was invented by the wives of sailors, who would make them as a good luck charm. The egg yolk in the middle is a symbol of the sun to represent good weather.
We ate upstairs. There was such an insane amount of cheese, egg, and butter in there! It was still super hot and the crust was incredibly crispy. The cheese, egg, and butter mixture was incredibly creamy!
It’s just insanely decadent and fatty. The combination of the fluffy dough and cheese is easily the wildest food experience I’ve had in Georgia. It was Tim’s first time eating it, too! It’s the best Adjarian khachapuri in town!
Then, I had some tarragon soda while Tim had some pear soda! All in all, our Titanic Khachapuri set us back GEL 40/$13 USD! A regular-sized Adjarian khachapuri costs GEL 12.50/$4 USD.
Outside of the restaurant is the port. A ten-minute walk to the right is the Argo Cable Car, which costs GEL 30/$10 to ride. It’s a 25-minute round trip and gives you awesome views of the city! I could see skyscrapers, two-story homes, the Black Sea, the mountains and hills, the Old Town, and more!
At the top of the hill is a gift shop, a café, and the lookout point with the best views of the city. There’s a cross and a church up there as well. The views are magnificent!

Über den Wolken von Georgien 🇬🇪 I Road Trip (2/2)
Seit drei Tagen sind wir jetzt schon mit dem Auto und Zelt in Georgien unterwegs. Von Tbilisi durch Tsalka, Bakuriani, Borjomi, Achalziche und gerade befinden wir uns in der Nähe von Beshumi. Mitten im Nirgendwo. Unsere Reise geht heute weiter mit dem Ziel Ozurgeti in der Region Gurien. Nach vielen Stunden und einem Zwischenstopp in der Nähe von Batumi, um im Meer baden zu gehen kommen wir endlich an. In Ozurgeti schlafen wir bei einer Freundin und besuchen Gomis Mta, den Ort über den Wolken. Wir fahren außerdem nochmal ans Meer in die Nähe von Batumi, um unsere Reise mit dem Auto abzuschließen, bevor wir wieder nach Tbilisi fahren und von dort aus einen Tag später nach Hause fliegen.
Viel Spaß beim Anschauen und ganz liebe Grüße!!

English Version:
We have been traveling in Georgia by car and tent for three days now. From Tbilisi through Tsalka, Bakuriani, Borjomi, Akhaltsikhe and right now we are near Beshumi. In the middle of nowhere. Our journey continues today with the destination Ozurgeti in the Guria region. After many hours and a stop near Batumi to swim in the sea, we finally arrive. In Ozurgeti we sleep with a friend and visit Gomis Mta, the place above the clouds. We'll also go back to the sea near Batumi to end our trip by car before we go back to Tbilisi and fly home from there a day later.
Have fun watching and all the best!
