10 open right now·10 venues
Tavaduri
Open nowGeorgian·City Center
Georgian kitchen with a focus on meat. Mtsvadi skewers go on live coals right outside the entrance. Tables fill up in the evening, especially on the terrace. Popular with locals year-round.
Mtsvadi (pork or veal skewers) cooked to order on coals. Adjarian khachapuri. Mchadi corn bread with nadugi cheese.
Come early in the evening. The outdoor seating fills up fast in summer and there is no reservation system.
Kitchen runs until 23:45. Service starts winding down around 23:30.
Porto Franco
Open nowGeorgian & European·Old Town
Georgian and European menu across several halls with heavy wooden interiors. Terrace seating faces the Old Town street. Vegan menu available. A reliable choice for groups with mixed food preferences.
Adjarian khachapuri, mushroom soup, eggplant with walnut paste. The grilled meat dishes are solid.
Book the terrace table for weekend evenings. The indoor halls are quieter for conversation.
Closes at 23:00. Not a late-night option.
Mimino
Open nowGeorgian·City Center
Spacious Georgian restaurant with large tables and a relaxed pace. Works well for groups and families. The wine list covers multiple Georgian regions and varietals, not just a house pour.
Shkmeruli (chicken in garlic cream sauce) and mtsvadi. The pkhali (vegetable rolls) are a solid starter.
Ask for a table on the upper floor. Better ventilation and less noise from the street.
Closes at midnight. Kitchen stops taking orders around 23:30.
Portofino
Open nowItalian·Piazza / Seafront
Italian kitchen at Piazza. Pasta made in-house, not overcooked. Location on the square adds a premium to prices. Outdoor tables on the piazza are the draw in warm weather.
Carbonara or cacio e pepe. The pasta dishes outperform the pizza here.
Outdoor Piazza tables get noisy after 22:00 from nearby bars. Ask for inside if you want a quieter meal.
Kitchen open until 01:00. Food quality drops after midnight.
Briza
Open nowSeafood & European·Seafront
Upscale seafood and European menu on the seafront. White-tablecloth service, attentive staff, and a proper wine list. Prices are significantly higher than most restaurants in the city. Suitable for a dinner occasion where cost is secondary.
Black Sea bass (lavraki) prepared simply without heavy sauces. The cocktail menu is well put-together.
Reserve the window table a day in advance. The bill runs 2-3x the city average per person.
Open until 02:00 on weekends, 01:00 on weekdays.
Bevrolo
Open nowWine Bar & Georgian small plates·Old Town
Wine bar focused on natural Georgian wines. Small sharing plates. The staff follow the small-producer market closely and can recommend by region, grape, or producer. Not a full dinner venue.
Ask what arrived this week. Mtsvane or rkatsiteli from small producers are the focus, not international-style blends.
No reservations. Arrive before 20:00 or expect a wait. The space is small.
Officially open until 01:00, but often stays until 03:00 when busy.
Pizza e Vino
Open nowItalian·New Boulevard
Wood-fired pizza on the New Boulevard with a late-night kitchen. The outdoor terrace is the main seating in summer. Wine list is short but priced reasonably.
Margherita or diavola. The simple versions hold up better late at night than the specialty toppings.
The indoor seating is cramped. Aim for the terrace when weather allows.
Kitchen genuinely runs until 03:00. One of a small number of places in the city with this schedule.
Chacha Bar & Kitchen
Open nowBar & Georgian kitchen·City Center
Bar that also serves food, in that order. The chacha selection (Georgian grape spirit) covers several producers and styles. Food is bar-standard: khinkali, lobiani, fried snacks. Come to drink, not to dine.
A tasting flight of three different chacha varieties. Ask which are from Adjara producers.
The crowd shifts after midnight toward locals and casino regulars. Better visited after dinner at another restaurant.
Open until 04:00. Gets busy after 01:00 when other bars close.
Miyako
Open nowJapanese & Sushi·New Boulevard
Japanese kitchen with fresh fish and a full sushi menu. The rolls are creative without being overly elaborate. Popular with Korean and Chinese visitors. One of the few Asian restaurants in the city with a late-night kitchen.
Chef's nigiri selection. Miso soup is made properly here, not from a packet.
Peak dinner hour is 19:00 to 21:00. After 22:00 it is calmer and service is faster.
Kitchen open until 02:00.
Cafe de Paris
Open nowCafe & Breakfast·Old Town
Coffee shop and brunch cafe in the Old Town. Espresso-based drinks done properly. Croissants baked in-house. Full brunch menu until 15:00. Stable WiFi. Closes at 23:00.
Eggs Benedict or French toast. Oat flat white is the standout coffee drink.
Window seats go quickly after 10:00. Arrive before then for a comfortable spot.
Closes at 23:00. Not suitable for post-midnight plans.
