Modigliani

Near the promenade and the MiG plane, this Georgian place has a medieval-cellar ambience. Standout dishes include slow-cooked lamb and veal chakhushuly (spicy soup) with herbs and vegetables, lobio (beans with walnuts, herbs and spices) baked in a clay pot and manty (steamed dumplings)s. There's a good business-lunch deal on weekday lunchtimes, too.
