Georgian cuisine is well-known in former Soviet Union countries for its rich and distinguished taste. This traditional food is highly influenced by the location of the country. As Georgia is located in the center of various trade routes, Georgian cuisine is based on various culinary ideas carried along these trade routes by traders and merchants of the middle ages. The majority of the food recipes are ancient, based on the traditional ways of cooking.

Being ancient alone does not make Georgian food what it is. Georgian food is also extremely hard to come by. Unless you happen to be in one of the former Soviet Union countries it is difficult to find a Georgian restaurant outside Georgia. To my surprise, Paris is an exception to that! There are several Georgian restaurants in Paris where you can try authentic traditional food for reasonable prices. “Pirosmani” is one of the well-known Georgian restaurants in Paris, close to Saint-Michele. This place is great fit for people who are looking for unusual food assortments. The food served is tasty, healthy, rich of traditions, aromatic, and esthetically beautiful. In Pirosmani you can try such famous Georgian dishes like Khinkali, Khachapuri, Lobio, Pkhali and others. It is a small, quiet, and cozy restaurant with traditional design and atmosphere.

Since the food market in the globalization era becomes more and more adapted to the internationally accepted standards, Georgian food also becomes standardized while the ancient authentic recipes gradually disappear. Here, in Paris, you have a chance to try exotic and cheap food while becoming part of the ancient Georgian culture. It is worth trying; you never know when it disappears.
