There is perhaps no better place to experience the modern, creative pride that marks post-Soviet Tbilisi than its art cafes. Each of these bistros is distinct, but all feature vintage design, quality food and a delightful blurring of gallery and gathering place. One of the prettiest, Cafe Leila, sits a stone’s throw from the Gabriadze Theater.

In a century-old building, Cafe Leila has delightful decor of interlaced stucco work inset with Persian-style paintings. (Lonely Planet)
- Traditional Georgian Apple Cake
- "Kaklucha" კაკლუჩა
Also known as ‘Royal Candy’ or ‘Orbeliani’s Candy’, Kaklucha was invented by Mariam Orbeliani and her cook, Pelagia, in the 19th century. Mariam was the daughter of poet Prince Vakhtang Orbeliani, who belonged to the noble House of Orbeliani.
Kaklucha is made with walnuts and caramelized sugar and tastes like heaven! Even though the main ingredients are simple, the flavors and textures are quite complex. Every tiny truffle-like candy is like a miniature candy apple, with a hard crystalized shell, a creamy inner filling, and a single piece of crunchy walnut inside.
Today, only a few people remember the art of Royal Candy making, so it’s quite tricky to find this dessert in Georgian restaurants.
