The funicular in Tbilisi to Mtatsminda Mountain is a historical attraction that should be visited by all visitors to the city. There is a restaurant of the same name at the very top. The place is expensive and famous. We went to the restaurant for only one thing – to try the famous donuts. I really declare that these are the most delicious donuts in my life. Hot, crispy, with delicious cream inside. The most important thing is to stop))). A calorie bomb, but very tasty. But the Waters of Logidze, praised by all, are overrated.
Probably the main advantage of this particular restaurant is the huge full-wall panel in the banquet hall of the artist N.Ignatov "Dedication to Pirosmani". You can look at it as much as you want, and always find new characters.Who doesn't know, try to at least ask to see it-it's a masterpiece!
I also remember this place in the 90s. The restaurant was closed, and the panel was completely unattended in an empty hall, but the benefit was preserved. 🍇
The restaurant is located on a hill, I got from the bottom of the funicular to the top. There were few seats, but the administrator (a nice man) put me on the balcony, where I actually met the sunset. The views are incredible . The price is usual for Tbilisi . The waiters speak only English. There are a couple of attractions near the restaurant. They work until 23.30. There is a small queue for the ascent and descent, but it passes quickly. The cost is 22 GEL with a round-trip card .
I will only talk about the restaurant itself, which is on the top floor.
The view of Tbilisi overshadows the disadvantages of the kitchen) we have written about the view here many times, so I will tell you about the kitchen
A large company came, 10 people. That's why we tried different dishes.
From delicious:
Ajapsandali (very pleasant and delicate taste, liked even by those who do not eat eggplant)
Lamb rack is a tender, soft meat, served with Brussels sprouts, a little bit insular, but the taste is interesting. However! Ordered 2 times. At the beginning of the evening and at the end. The first time the square was a little dry, and the second time it was juicy and soft
Shkmeruli (delicious sauce, tender chicken, fried garlic was added on top, if it got in, it very much interrupted the taste)
The vegetable salad is very tasty, everyone praised it! Top dressing, sour and salty
Khachapuri is excellent, lots of cheese, good dough. After dipping into sauces from the dishes, it was delicious
Satsivi is an interesting serving, tender chicken, excellent sauce. Delicious
And now about what I didn't really like:
The steak was ruined! Very dry meat, they asked for medium roasting, in the end it was well done
The pork ribs turned out to be not pork ribs (as it was on the menu), but pork belly and sooo salty! That's right very
Service: we forgot to bring salads at the end of the evening, it was a shame. We ordered meat, there were not enough vegetables, but they were not brought.
Result:
You can visit once, the view is crazy. It is worth going and ordering Georgian cuisine - it is really very tasty here. For the sake of everything else, it's not worth it
It is an extremely overrated place, and my assessment is precisely disappointment. The food is ordinary, there is nothing interesting on the menu. The waiters do not know Russian, although 50% of visitors are residents of the CIS, a strange approach to recruitment, you need to know the language in which your guests come, in all hotels there are no problems with this. It is also important for a good restaurant to constantly be near the guest, to offer something , to find out if everything is okay, if you like the food, to offer something, pour wine, there is a complete failure, they never came up themselves, constantly waving their hands and calling for such a level of institution is simply indecent, tips are exactly 0 for this approach, the owner screwed up a lot here that he did not build a training system, also the lack of a menu in Russian looks crazy, even in any hole in Vietnam or Cuba they will bring you a crooked oblique translation. The waiters, accordingly, cannot advise anything. Russian Russians and the Russian language are suspected to be biased by the owner.. I always try to follow the reviews and in large numbers, but there is a complete bottom. The only thing that's really good is the view of the city, but the restaurant has nothing to do with it, it's not his merit. In general, it's not worth eating here, drink coffee or tea with dessert, look at the city from the balcony and leave. You can have wine, it was pink and delicious .
A MUST HAVE to visit in TBILISI 🥰🇬🇪🍽️
Gorgeous view of the city and traditional Georgian cuisine
The perfect place for a date: a glass of Prosecco with a view of the night city is so romantic 😍
Local donuts are mandatory, as is local lemonade. The park is good, the roller coaster is not worth the money, it's worth arriving early, there are huge queues for the descent in the evening. But you can go down a good, well-maintained staircase, almost completely alone. A good place with a stunning view of the city.
Like all tourists, we came to try insanely delicious donuts. We got there by taxi, and back by funicular. There was a small queue for boarding, but everyone went quickly enough. The trip was comfortable.
A very cool multifunctional place: you can ride funiculars to a beautiful park with an observation deck and attractions. And you should definitely go to this restaurant, the donuts are divine, there are large portions and everything is wildly delicious. We tried donuts, Napoleon and lemonade — everything is very tasty, I advise you to visit)
The restaurant is located in a very beautiful location, the price is almost twice as high. The dishes were bland, the pork was dry. Unfortunately, the staff is not friendly and the professional level is low. Let it be expensive, but delicious and pleasant atmosphere, unfortunately disappointed in the end.
A pleasant place with a beautiful view!But it's expensive, designed for tourists, the locals probably aren't very comfortable with the price! But you can have a glass of beer in a pleasant place!
An extremely overrated place, it would be possible to put a zero - I would. It's a disappointment. The food is ordinary, there is nothing interesting on the menu, the food should be not only nutritious, but also delicious. Before entering the place, you must overcome the guards on the courts, who do not know either Russian or English, and speak Georgian as if from a doorway. The waiters also do not know Russian.
The view is beautiful, but this is not the merit of the restaurant, everything that the restaurant could spoil, it spoiled:
- service
- attitude
- I'm on my way
- comfort
Khinkali and khachapuri taste like everywhere else, nothing over-the-top. A portion of khachapuri is too small. Therefore, I consider the prices a little too high. The staff is good, but sometimes they pretend that they don't know Russian. There is a lot of space. Smoking is allowed outside and you need to be prepared for a smoky neighborhood.
It takes a long time to get to the location. + funicular. Upstairs, in addition to the restaurant, there is an observation deck and a carousel. There are queues at the restaurant, especially on weekends.
Whoever will be in Tbilisi must definitely take a ride. To begin with, you will visit the most prominent site of the city, then you can walk through the park on the mountain, then you can go to a restaurant, if with children, then to the attractions, well, and visit the Pantheon on the way back when descending. The only stop in the middle is the Pantheon. For example, Griboyedov's grave is located there.
A very decent restaurant. Admires the location))) expensive, pretentious, but very tasty. They serve a chic shish kebab..unlike other restaurants in Tbilisi, the portions are straight Moscow🙈🙈😅The locals don't like him very much, that's what they told me...There was a church on the site of this restaurant, so after the destruction, this restaurant was built from the stones left from the church
An interesting event is how to ride back and forth, and there is a vacation for children. We waited a long time for the landing, about 40 minutes. A quick round trip came out at 1.5 hours. The plastic card cannot be returned to the cashier, which means that the money for it cannot be returned.
Кафе расположено в парке Мтацминда, это гора в Тбилиси. Поднимались на фуникулере, можно и на такси, но долго и муторно((. Кассы фуникулера около Вильнюсского парка, покупаешь карточку и кладешь там же на нее деньги. Карточка вроде бессрочная, не выбрасывайте, вдруг вернетесь). Поднимались в кафе специально поесть пончики по тбилисски. Кафе приятное, много десертов, меню принесли. Есть русскоговорящий персонал, все готовы тебе помочь с заказом. В теплое время года можно посидеть на открытой террасе с видом на Тбилиси. Да, пончики! Они супер! При каждом посещении Тбилиси стараемся съездить в это кафе.
Very nice view, especially in the evening. The restaurant itself is expensive, there is more delicious, but if you need a status and the price is not important, then it is quite possible.

A nice place with a great view. I advise everyone to take Lagidze water lemonade and classic donuts. They do everything quickly, despite the large number of people. The desserts are delicious (made in advance), but the dishes are not always "on the level" sometimes it is tasteless. But for the sake of the views and donuts, I advise you to get there)
It is interesting to ride Beautiful views. In the evening, the illumination of the city gives beautiful views. I recommend a ride. It is better to take tickets there and back immediately. I didn't get off at the middle station. The staff is treated well, it does not matter who is by nationality. They speak Russian. Many tourists from other countries
The most delicious Adjarian khachapuri and the best cream doughnuts were here in the evening, so we stood in line for a while, but these are small things
Good location, comfortable cabins, reasonable price. Upstairs there are cafes and souvenirs, the view opens to the whole city. There is a toilet next to it, and an exit to the Kura.
Good view, comfortable furniture, pleasant interior, but at the same time terrible service, arrogant waiters, the girl's manager does her job terribly. The salad was not fresh and not tasty.
The Funicular Restaurant (2nd floor) is a place without which a visit to Georgia and its capital will not open in all its glory! The face and business card of Georgia!
A very beautiful place!
View of the city and mountains
Delicious food
The check is above average
But it's not a pity to give away the kitchen for such a view)
Впервые на фуникулере. При подьеме открывается красивый вид на город. В самом парке хорошие атракционны,без очередей,контактный зоопарк,разные кафе и рестораны и много смотровых площадок с шикарными видами на город.
7 years ago, there were delicious impressions, this year they did not disappoint!
The cakes are great! Keep it up !

A great experience! The funicular trip to Tbilisi was magical and unforgettable. The amazing views of the city, the pleasant breeze and the amazing atmosphere created an unforgettable impression. I definitely recommend everyone to visit this wonderful place to enjoy the beauty of Tbilisi from a bird's eye view.
The dishes were not bad or we were very hungry) we are not satisfied with the service, the prices were also not pleased. I think the rating is not deserved.
We came here just for the view, like probably 99% of people, refused to open the terrace, allegedly it rained 2 hours ago, ruined the evening, because we didn't have time to go anywhere else
Фуникулёр - классная штука! Вид с горы потрясающий! Парк на горе прекрасный для прогулок и развлечений, и для детей свой парк, и для взрослых. В парке можно и перекусить, и хорошо пообедать в ресторане. А какой обзор Тбилиси открывается со смотровых площадок - не хватает слов, описать, просто классный! Одно докучало - жара была, около 35 градусов.
I was faced with the disdainful attitude of the waiters, no one brought me the menu, the waiters stubbornly pretended that I was not there, I had to come and take the order myself, too - I turned to the waitress, received only persistent disregard in response, only one waiter deigned to pay attention to me. There is no attitude, I do not know what I did not please them.
Очень классно и дешево!!! Нагулялись в Ботаническом парке Тбилиси ( тоже рекомендую) и спустились на фуникулере, полюбовавшись видом прекрасного Тбилиси ❤️
Everything is fine, inexpensive travel. It is necessary to purchase a card for GEL 2 at the checkout, both cash and cards are accepted. It takes longer to go up, but it goes down very quickly. The staff is polite
Место отличное, на входе встретили вежливые хостес , охрана
Поток большой. Фирменное блюдо, что необходимо попробовать это Ponchick ! Это волшебство !
Хостес и администраторы говорят по-русски улыбаются и доброжелательны, некоторые молодые официанты прекрасно понимают, но отказываются говорить и некоторые показывают неприязнь , не хотят обслуживать русскоговорящих- передают стол другим. Не профессионально
In the city center, especially in the old part of it, you want to wander and wander and look at everything...We fell in love with Tbilisi, we are coming for the second time this year
