Georgian Food

& where to taste them in Gudauri

My TOP 5 favorite dishes

KHACHAPURI

Probably the most traditional Georgian dish. Translated, it means "cheesy bread" and these two words sum it all up. It is a flatbread made of leavened dough, filled with cheese. Available in restaurants as well as a street food and tastes really well - the dough is often oily and pleasantly crunchy, cheese (usually cow "sulguni") is smooth and salty.

KHINKALI

Another traditional dish is khinkali. These are the dumplings stuffed with meat, potatoes, mushrooms or cheese. They can be bought virtually everywhere, but according to the general consensus, the best ones are made at their place of origin - valleys lying by the Georgian Military Highway.

MTSVADI

"Meat on the stick" is one of the oldest dishes in the history of mankind and therefore it´s no surprise that it´s very popular also at the Caucasus. No matter whether we are speaking about the Russian shashlik, Azeri shish kebab, Armenian khorovats or Georgian mtsvadi - it´s essentially the same lambpork or veal barbecue.

CHASHUSHULI

Chashushuli is a spicy beef stew resembling an European goulash. The beef is cooked together with tomatoes and mushrooms and further flavored with generous amount of garlic, spices and herbs. It´s a hearty, filling dish ideal for chilly evenings.

ADJARULI KHACHAPURI

Soft bread, flavorful cheese, and a runny egg combine to make Adjaruli Khachapuri, a Georgian cheese bread that is sure to win your heart (and your stomach).
