Old Boulevard

Top choice in Batumi


The Old Boulevard has a refined atmosphere with deep sofas, floor-to-ceiling shelves of sculpture, and live classical guitar and piano in the evening. It cooks up great grills, seafood, Georgian classics and the odd international dish, such as fried duck fillet in berry sauce, king prawns in garlic or foie gras. There's also an excellent wine list.
