Restaurant Littera

Best thing about my dining experience in Littera was the atmosphere, view, and ambiance of the restaurant. Could’ve been improved if a little music was being played, as it was completely silent. The service is excellent, very friendly staff. They are very well informed about the wine selection. Our table was a big one, so we had a set menu that was perfectly paired with different wines for each course. The local wine is absolutely phenomenal. The food was delicious as well. They had a plate of mixed mushroom that I highly recommend. Overall great experience, hidden gem in Tbilisi you don’t want to miss.

The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, set in a beautiful historic building with a charming garden that makes dining here feel special. The service is attentive and professional — the staff are knowledgeable about the menu and always ready to offer recommendations. The food is simply outstanding. Every dish is a creative blend of Georgian flavors with a modern twist, using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The wine selection is also impressive, featuring some of the best local wines that perfectly complement the meals.

A beautiful place, a very cozy corner in the yard in the garden. The cocktails are deliciously prepared, but that's where the good ends. They have no idea what service is. You can't expect a smile or kindness from the staff. I changed my mind about having dinner there, simply because the table was dirty and no one bothered to wipe it, and they apparently couldn't even afford tablecloths for the tables. It's uncomfortable to sit there, like being in someone's backyard. The benches by the tables are all sticky and dirty, and my dress got ruined. The restroom is dirty, and apparently, they forgot that toilet paper is necessary. A place with huge potential, but the restaurateur clearly doesn't care about their business and ignores the service. We had a drink and left to have dinner somewhere else. It's very disappointing.

I came here alone for dinner without a reservation and they accommodated me. The server was very attentive and spoke the best English I’ve encountered in Georgia thus far, which helps with food recommendations. Unfortunately the food was not anything special, and definitely not worth the price. Ambiance is good but not as nice as I expected from reviews - it is basically a yard full of ivy. It does feel quiet and private, which is nice.

Such a beautiful garden café with delicious food. Just keep in mind there’s no air conditioning or fans, so it can get hot at lunchtime in summer. Also, it’s a little tricky to find without a map, but totally worth it once you’re there.

I believe the most elegant and tranquil garden terrace restaurant in Tbisili. The trio of phkali dips with a delicate and aromatic amber wine in this wonderfully designed setting was magical. It is truly hidden, so not easy to find but well worth the search. Easily, my most enjoyable lunch in Tbisili.

Set in the lush garden of the historic Writers’ House in the heart of old Tbilisi, Restaurant Littera offers a unique dining experience that blends literary heritage with culinary innovation. Under the direction of renowned Georgian chef Tekuna Gachechiladze, the restaurant presents a refined take on New Georgian cuisine, reinterpreting traditional flavors with modern technique and seasonal ingredients. The atmosphere is undeniably charming—dining beneath trees in a tranquil courtyard surrounded by history creates a setting that feels both intimate and culturally rich. The food itself was very good, with well-balanced flavors and thoughtful compositions that reflect the kitchen’s creative ambition. However, the overall experience was tempered by noticeably slow and inattentive service. Despite the relaxed garden setting, the lack of attentiveness and long waiting times detracted from the otherwise elevated tone of the restaurant. Additionally, the seating on hard wooden benches without cushions proved uncomfortable over the course of the evening. A simple addition of padding could significantly improve guest comfort. In summary, Restaurant Littera delivers memorable flavors in a beautiful setting, but would benefit from greater consistency in service and attention to guest comfort. With a few adjustments, it could fully live up to the promise of its exceptional location and culinary vision.

Hidden gem of Tbilisi. Please didn’t have any sign outside but it worth to find. Romantic and cozy atmosphere of the garden. Was pleasure to get recommendation from sommelier, we have got amazing white local wine( pic below). Totally forgot to take pics of man courses cuz it was too delirious. Pork belly, beef with truffle souse and cod was great! Service was pleasant. Staff has very good English so would recommend for travelers. Prices are above average in Tbilisi, but still affordable. Recommend!
