I had been wanting to try Georgian food for awhile, so on a recent trip to Paris I did my research and came across Colchide. They have two locations and a wine cave in Paris. We visited their location at rue des Martyrs in Montmartre.
Of course we had to try the khatchapuri, Georgia's national dish, a delicious cheese bread. We ordered the khatchapuri boat with an egg in the middle. We also tried badrijani nigvzit, a stuffed eggplant appetizer topped with pomegranate. For the main course we ordered soko (mushrooms) filled with cheese and cooked in a clay jar! The dessert of the evening was a Georgian yogurt topped with honey and nuts. In addition to their delicious food options, Colchide offers an extensive wine list. I tried a traditional Amber wine and was not disappointed!
If you're looking for tasty and authentic Georgian food in Paris, this is it. Note: service can be a bit slow and, as with many Parisian restaurants, this is a small place. Enjoy the pacing, it's part of enjoying this original meal! read more
