Cafe Khinkalnaya

Great khinkali, stylish decor

Unbelievably good khinkali that tick all the boxes: juicy, spicy, fresh wrapped in dough that's not too thick and not too thin. A full menu of Georgian dishes in surroundings that are a cut above the usual khinkali dives.

Vai-me

Fast food that's fresh and authentic

Saperavi Cafe

Vai-me is the first Georgian cafe in the city with a fast-food format. You can have all of your favorite Georgian dishes without the long table, endless toasts, and too much wine. Full menu that changes by season. Vai-me serves fresh fizzy lemonade and Natakhtari, a delicious Georgian beer.

Khachapuri

Traditional dishes and modern vibe

Foreigner-friendly menu offering no less than 15 kinds of khachapuri, with great salads, soups, and mains, too. Comfortable airy European atmosphere, menu and site in English, and a guy in the corner playing the piano as if he were the only person in the world. Check the site to find three other locations and learn about the benefits of the Hacha Friend card.

Saperavi Cafe

Georgian for hipsters

This is one of the first Georgian places in Moscow that put a more modern spin on traditional dishes, and it's still one of the best. Try the Givi-burger (spicy beef) or the Georgia-burger (chicken and herbs). Stop in from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a Georgian breakfast. For people with food sensitivities, it has an extensive gluten-free menu.
