Batumi restaurants & cafes

Batumi is the sea and Adjarian cuisine: the famous boat-shaped khachapuri, fresh fish, and seaside terraces. Vetted places by the boulevard and in the old town.

In Batumi the gastronomy revolves around the sea and Adjara: fish restaurants, Adjarian khachapuri with egg and butter, seaside verandas. In the old town and by the boulevard there are more tourist spots and nightlife; a little off to the side it’s calmer and cheaper.

Below are our vetted places in Batumi. For the basic dishes of Georgian cuisine and what the region is famous for, take a look at the guide to the cuisine; each venue shows the check date.
