Alubali Tbilisi

Another hidden gem

""Alubali" is another hidden cafe in Tbilisi, it is perfect outdoors but it's an indoor place with some of the best Georgian menus around."

Alubali is another hidden cafe in Tbilisi. It is perfect outdoors but in reality it's an indoor place in the heart of Tbilisi with one of the best Georgian menus around. Personally, I really love their grape leaf tolmas which turn me back to my childhood when my grandma used to cook them all the time for me!

The place looks like an orangery - the ceiling is see-through and there are lots of beautiful big plants. Sometimes you just want to sit there for hours to simply enjoy the interior.

Alubali is a very quiet place and it is not overcrowded like every other place in Tbilisi. You can have chilled evenings and mornings or even afternoons with friends or even alone doing work.

As I said, if you like and enjoy a quiet and beautiful place to just sit or enjoy your coffee or glass of wine, Alubali is perfect for you!
