Sakartvelo

This little restaurant specialising in Georgian cuisine is without a doubt one of Vasilievsky's hidden gems. Tucked away on 12-ya liniya, its welcoming atmosphere wraps you in its arms the minute you step through the door. It can feel almost like a party in someone's house – live music is regular, décor and crockery are homely, and the walls are crowded with colourful, mismatched art. Service is friendly and informal; don't be surprised to see your waiter busting shapes on the tiny dancefloor. Both the food and the portion sizes are very hearty.
