Let’s begin.

Hurma Café

Hurma Café is a modern café that is located in the heart of Tbilisi. Ironically, it will also please your heart from the second the flavor and scent wafts by your nose.

It provides affordable food that is both filling and healthy.

Whether you’re a local or a tourist, you’ll find something to your liking at the Hurma Café.

Its central location also means that this café is easily accessible and won’t be out of your way for most of the activities within the city.

Strada

Strada boasts a wide variety of customers.

You’ll find businessmen and women having a professional lunch and a family of five chatterings away on the other side of the restaurant.

The informal yet classic atmosphere provides a great area for many occasions. Often times, it’s a packed house during the evening and afternoon hours.

Because of this, many locals and tourists alike don’t frequent it as often as they should. An unknown fact to many is that Strada offers a delectable breakfast as well.

The menu isn’t as large as others, but it doesn’t sacrifice anything on the quality and taste of their food. Waffles, eggs, and other traditional breakfast foods are served and they won’t leave you disappointed.

Café Rustaveli

If you’ve been on Freedom Square, or plan to be there, you need to stop at Café Rustaveli for a cultural experience that comes with all the food you want from a Tbilisi restaurant.

They serve breakfast as well as brunch. Don’t worry if you’re running behind one morning, you’ll still have all the foods you’re looking for.

The restaurant mixes several European and Oriental cultures to create this wonderfully-blended café. If you’re a die-hard Georgian lover, don’t fret. The culture is completely visible through the décor as well as the food.

An interesting feature of Café Rustaveli is their menus. You’ll find that they provide different menus depending on the food you’re looking for. All different kinds of cuisine are available and you’ll be shocked by the sheer amount of options that are available to you.

Of course, if you’d like a side dish and a main entrée from a different menu, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Mix and match whatever foods you’re feeling that morning for the ultimate way to start your day.

Specific offerings include matsoni, specialty coffee, a variety of breakfast menus, croissants, pancakes, and other traditional breakfast foods that you’ve known and grown to love.

A highlight for Georgians will be the breakfast menus that differ based on the region of Georgia. No matter where you were born or where you’ve been, you’ll be able to have specific food from all different areas and regions of Georgia.

This is great for someone looking for an authentic cultural experience or for a Georgian looking to get a little taste of their hometown. It’s something that not nearly enough restaurants in Tbilisi offer.

Entrée

Entrée is a chain of cafes that can be found all across Tbilisi. If you’re thinking that chains don’t stack up to local, independent restaurants, Entrée will be glad to prove you wrong.

This café and bakery will serve everything you want in a quiet, relaxing, and soothing environment. If there isn’t much of a crowd, the atmosphere can resemble that of a traditional Western coffee shop. Peace, quiet, good food, and excellent coffee.

A bonus of being a chain is that their locations are everywhere. They’re spread out throughout Tbilisi and can usually be easily accessible to anyone in the city. Simply look up which Entrée is closest to your location and you’ll be off to the races.

Fabrika Bar

Fabrika used to be much more than a friendly, relaxed place to grab breakfast.

Originally, Fabrika was functioning as a Soviet sewing factory. During the Soviet occupation, the building would be typically lined with workers sewing and mending different materials.

After it was a Soviet sewing factory, it was transformed into a multipurpose complex. This was when Fabrika was born.

It’s often seen as a trendy and hip place for many of the younger-generation to frequent. Neon signs, old-school-styled bar tops, and sophisticated design are some of the highlights to their décor.

This creates a modern, stylish, almost-futuristic look to a restaurant.

Typically, Fabrika functions as a bar. In the evening and night, it’ll be packed full of partiers ready to take the night.

However, a little known fact is that Fabrika also serves breakfast that doesn’t disappoint. It takes a modern approach to serve food with an a la carte buffet that serves almost anything you could want for breakfast.

Of course, traditional hangover foods such as greasy sausage, omelets, and fried foods will be offered. However, you’ll find that they also serve salads, homemade yogurt, pastries, and fruits.

Whether you had a rough last night or want a good morning, Fabrika Bar will be ready to serve.

Brotmeister

Austrian-styled baked goods are a thing to dream of. Thankfully, Brotmeister makes that a reality thanks to Tbilisi’s rich, diverse culture.

The bakery won’t leave you hungry, but if you’re in the mood for hot foods you’ll find yourself pleased as well. Bruschetta with salmon, chicken sandwiches, cheese patties, porridge, and more are all options.

While it may not be Georgian-authentic, it’s a highlight to the inclusivity of other cultures within Georgia and Tbilisi.

The décor matches that of a coffee lover’s dream. It’s relatively quiet and a perfect spot to sit down and get some work or reading done. In the same vein, it doesn’t sacrifice a unique, trendy décor. It’s an atmosphere that aims to please everyone, and it does a good job.

Beyond coffee, it serves traditional breakfast food such as rice pudding, Belgian waffles, yogurt, fruits, and porridge.

Lolita

Similar to Fabkria Bar, Lolita capitalizes on those who drank the night before.

Lolita is located outside in Tbilisi’s courtyard. You’ll be able to eat outside all year round and they serve breakfast and brunch options until a later time than most breakfast places.

You’ll find many of the patrons with sunglasses on with last night’s outfit still shining into the morning. However, there are many other patrons who enjoy eating outside and taking in the beauty of the day.

Either way, Lolita will provide a stress-free start to your day as you let the sunshine onto your face as you enjoy the cool, morning breeze.

It’s filled with the younger generation and the older alike. Good food knows no age ranges, only hungry stomachs.

Amra
