Café Stamba

Top choice in Tbilisi


This super-stylish all-day bar-cafe-restaurant serves as the current meeting point for Tbilisi's various cultural elites, and is equally suited to a relaxed breakfast, a blow-out supra (traditional feast; literally 'tablecloth') or just top-notch cocktails prepared by the iconic Pink Bar. The menu skews Italian, with dishes such as black spaghetti with shrimp or mushroom risotto, but there's also an innovative Georgian menu.
