Beyond its bean specialties, Salobie Bia serves a tight selection of rustic Georgian home-cooking mains praised by Gault&Millau under chef Giorgi Iosava.

Signatures include shkmeruli, fried chicken slowly cooked in butter and garlic; ojakhuri, tender pan-fried pork; and kharcho, a spiced beef stew with rice. A white plum sorbet with white chocolate closes the meal on the dessert side.

The cooking leans on simple, traditional recipes with a light contemporary touch rather than reinvention.
