Bar with wonderful view of the mountains, the bartender is the sweetest and most amazing person. He cares of you every minute and you will not want to leave this place and maybe like us, will come back again and again. May God save this place for us

We had the BEST time on our first night in Mestia thanks to this restaurant. It was a good selection of food with a very helpful but not overbearing service. It was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. When our table was the last to finish, the owner invited us to the bar and showed us a Mestia skiing tradition, which was very fun and included just the right amount of chacha! We will definitely be back in wintertime ;)

We picked this restaurant while simply passing by and what a lucky decision it has been. Vito warmly welcomed us and has been kind and friendly the whole time we were there. He even showed us the traditional way to drink chacha in Mestia, which was really fun. We really enjoyed this place and the food was obviously delicious as well! Definitly worth a visit.

I have absolutely no idea why this place was empty when we came because it's one of the best restaurants I've been to in Georgia. The portions are huge: the three of us shared a salad and a khavhapuri, and it got us full. Everything was really delicious, and the service... Oh, the service was top-notch. The waiter (who turned out to be the owner) treated us like his own guests, but wasn't annoyingly present all the time. The prices are adequate, and the view from the terrace is great. It's quiet, and the pictures on the walls are very unusual: painted with elements of some real things like pieces of fabric. If you're visiting Mestia, this is definitely a place to visit. It's even better than some trendy local places.

We've been coming to Mestia for many years now and this is probably the best restaurant in town. The shashliks are tender and marinated, the pizzas superb, prices very reasonable. Best of all the service is friendly and welcoming which is not a given in Georgia.
