Sofia Melnikova’s Fantastic Douqan

The place is hidden in one of the alleys. So, If you go there, it is next to a parking and there is a door open that takes you to a big backyard. I fell in love with the place, the decoration feels very local and authentic. There, I tried the best tomato soup I’ve ever eaten in my life! Also I ask for a recommendation as I’m a tourist and they were so accurate! Thanks

Amazing place with great food. We ordered khinkali with potatoes and meat, and the potatoes ones were the best I've tried in Tbilisi! The only problem was the temperature inside the cafe: since we visited it in December, it was cold inside. So we had to sit here with our coats on

I’m so happy to see this place still standing strong! The food is just as amazing as ever, years go by, and the quality never drops. That’s something truly special. It’s a lovely place with delicious food, and I always find myself wanting to come back. Please never change. 🤍

Great restaurant, probably the best quality food we tried in Georgia. The place is very famous in Tbilisi, being one of its culinary landmarks. It’s featured on many blogs of the best restaurants in Tbilisi, being endorsed by many foodies, and most famously being featured on one of Mark Wiens’ videos. The staff were friendly, the service was efficient, the food was very delicious, especially the beetroot salad, baked pumpkin starter and the chicken Shkmeruli. The desserts were very delicious as well, especially the Crème Brûlée which had orange flavor. The atmosphere was very nice, simple and humble seating under multiple bunches of grapes was very nice. It was overall a very pleasant experience.

Another great address in Tbilisi for Georgian cuisine! I had dinner there with my girlfriend. The place was pretty crowded, so we found the service a bit slow. But then, the food came and we both found it very tasty! The staff was nice and the atmosphere was great. I can totally recommend this restaurant. 5/5

Food was unbelievably good. We loved the chicken in garlic sauce (i miss it already) and the pork ojakhuri was also insane ! The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was cosy and lovely. Wish we had discovered it earlier

Very lovely atmosphere. Outside with in a green garden / courtyard. The food is delicious. We had the dumplings and the Khachapuri and grilled oyster mushrooms. All of it was tasty! Service is good. You can easily spend there hours and just enjoy the surroundings and order more and more.

Really lovely little gem. The staff was very friendly and funny, the atmosphere is very charming, and the food was delicious, fresh, and hot. Please keep in mind that, like Georgian service in general, the pace is leisurely because the food is made fresh and with care. You can just play with the kittens in the courtyard while you wait!
