I had noticed a few doors down from my hotel a cafe/bakery by the name of Entrée. I hadn't paid much attention to it until today, when I felt like a pastry for lunch.
When I arrived, I saw that it said "Tbilisi bakery." That was very intriguing becauseTbilisi is the capital of the nation of Georgia. I had never seen any place offering Georgian cuisine.
Inside, there was a large table where a number of the Georgian baked goods were displayed; and there was a counter where Georgian dishes were displayed.
A woman behind the counter explained the various Georgian dishes to me; and I chose one - Chakhokhbili -stewed chicken & tomato with fresh herbs. It came with freshly baked Georgian rye bread for £16.10 ($21.57). I confirmed before ordering that it is mild.
Both the stew and the bread were absolutely fantastic. The stew has a very unique flavor.
(The "kh" in the stew's name is pronounced like the Spanish "j.")
It turns out that Entrée is an international family chain headquartered in Georgia with a number of outlets there and three in London.
