Khachapuri i Vino

St Petersburg


This welcoming, warmly lit space serves outstanding Georgian fare. The recipes aren't overly complicated and the fine ingredients speak for themselves in flavour-rich dishes like aubergine baked with suluguni (a type of cheese), pork dumplings, and tender lamb stew with coriander. Don't miss the excellent khachapuri (cheese bread), which comes in a dozen varieties and is whipped up by the bakers in front.

Top it off with a Georgian wine, like the full-bodied mukuzani. Over the bar, a row of French horns transformed into lampshades adds a whimsical touch.
