The Best Caucasian Restaurants in Sochi
Contributor / Journalist
Locals in Sochi adore Caucasian, in particular, Georgian cuisine. Its distinctive flavors fill the air around Sochi and Adler as soon as the first warm summer days roll in. You can buy lavash (thin wheat flatbread) in any supermarket in the city. Stews, meat grilled on the coals, piles of fresh herbs and vegetables, soft cheeses, delicious pastry, and sweet red and dry white wines—this is what a traditional Caucasian feast looks like. Tkemali, satsebeli, adjika, and nasharab are all sauces that are highly popular in Russia. Here’s our selection of the best Caucasian restaurants in the city.
