Vieille ville et au-delà : un festin de la route de la soie à Tbilissi avec des ruelles culinaires
Description
Alors que la culture culinaire géorgienne émerge lentement de son gel de l'ère soviétique, les chefs de Tbilissi regardent au-delà des frontières de leur pays tout en ravivant et en sauvegardant les traditions culinaires uniques de la Géorgie. L'esprit ouvert de la Route de la Soie est de retour en ville, et en cette journée épique de repas, nous aurons un avant-goût de ce dont il s'agit. Notre journée commence là où Tbilissi a commencé il y a des millénaires, près des sources chaudes naturelles de la partie la plus ancienne de la ville. Ici, une mosquée, une synagogue et une cathédrale orthodoxe géorgienne offrent un panorama qui en dit long sur la diversité de la ville et son histoire en tant que centre important de commerce et de culture et étape clé le long de l'ancienne route de la soie. L'emplacement stratégique de Tbilissi en a fait un endroit souhaitable à occuper, et les conquérants ne manquent pas : Romains, Byzantins, Mongols, Khazars, Arabes, Perses, Ottomans, Russes et, enfin, les Soviétiques.

Booked the tour for our third day in Tbilisi. What an incredible experience! Kristo was very knowledgeable, passionate and did not stop smiling. Her experience and knowledge of the area, the food and the history made for a fantastic time. Plenty of different foods tasted along with a story behind each dish. A leisurely walk around the city was made so much better by Kristo’s energy. She is an ambassador to a beautiful country and an absolute credit to Culinary Backstreets. I highly recommend a tour with Kristo.

We had an amazing food tour in Tbilisi and would highly recommend it. Our guide, Maka, was warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and authentic. We tried some incredible Georgian dishes, including khinkali, khachapuri, and other local specialties, along with delicious Georgian wines.

This tour exceeded expectations in every way. Our guide, Tamra, gave us the best possible first impression of Georgia, the people, the culture, and the history. The information provided and the robust discussion definitely enhanced our overall experience. The food…I can’t even describe how much we all enjoyed it. Not only the taste, but learning about the traditions and importance of certain dishes. I am not going to embarrass myself by trying to name the dishes (!), but suffice it to say the four of us did our best to clean every plate! Further, the pacing of this tour allowed us to fully enjoy each dish, and each tasting was given an appropriate amount of time and space between courses. Highly recommend this entire experience. Thank you!!
