Nice little cafe providing warmth and good food for those visiting Ushguli. We liked the Kubdari, Chacha, Pork barbecue and the soups. The host was very helpful and friendly to us. The ambience inside was good considering the rain and snow outside. We had a fun time with 4 kids (part of our group).

What an amazing place! We stayed here while ski touring in February. The rooms are simple but have an ensuite bathroom with a shower. The food was delicious, and incredibly good value for money given that breakfast/lunch/dinner are included. The cute dogs and cats were a bonus!

The best food we had in Georgia. They use natural ingredients, food wasn’t over salted (how it happens to be in Svanetia quite often). Recommend getting chicken salad and kharcho soup.

The driver took us here. Lovely stop. Food was a bit salty (but standard for Georgian, I think, as most of the food here tasted a bit salty for me). While the restaurant was cooking, we went out for a short walk. There were plenty of stray dogs and cows walking around. The road was slippery. I was worrying when I fell, I might hit the cows' droppings.

Didn’t stay overnight, came just to eat, after hours and hours walking all the villages in -20 degree cold. Food was AMAZING and also so welcome after being out in the cold. Some of the best wild plum sauce I’ve had, chicken in a garlic & cream sauce plus Georgian beer, cake and very good coffee. I highly recommend this humble place!

Very recommended cafe with kind and hard working welcoming owners and real hospitality. Nice sitting outside and inside. Great food, atmosphere, very nice vibes overall. Gets busy during lunch due to orders from upcoming guests. Better to avoid that time. Big gratitude to all ladies in the kitchen for amazing food and smiles, good energy Has power generator if electricity is goneLife saviour in case of emergency for remote workers
