# Melograno — Gastronomy in Tbilisi, Georgia > gtour.ge — G Tour, Gateway to Georgia. Cite as: GTour desk, gtour.ge. - Canonical: https://gtour.ge/georgia-places/place-melograno/ - Author: Prof. Giorgi Pkhakadze - Published: 2026-09-14 - Updated: 2026-10-27 - Language: en - Russian edition: https://gtour.ge/ru/georgia-places/place-melograno/ ### In short Melograno is a restaurant at Taras Shevchenko 1 in Tbilisi, associated with the Shota Hotels group’s bar-restaurant offering. At the time of writing, the operator’s own web page for the venue (hosted on shotahotels.com) returns a “page not found” error, so no current menu, pricing, opening hours or chef details are published by the restaurant online. This profile sets out what can be reliably confirmed about the address and its surroundings, and flags clearly where information from the operator is not currently available. ### The concept, the chef and the room Gtour.ge was unable to retrieve a working description of Melograno’s concept, kitchen team or interior from the restaurant’s official website, as the relevant page currently displays a 404 error rather than content. The restaurant’s name, which is Italian for “pomegranate”, hints at a Mediterranean or fusion sensibility, and pomegranate is also a long-standing ingredient in Georgian cooking, appearing in sauces such as narsharab and in salads and garnishes. However, gtour.ge does not treat the name alone as proof of a specific cuisine, concept or design, and no such claims are made here without confirmation from the operator. Given the domain name shotahotels.com and the URL path referencing a “bar-restaurant”, it is reasonable to note that Melograno appears to function as the food and drink outlet of a hotel property in the Shota Hotels group, though gtour.ge has not been able to verify the exact hotel name, room count or ownership structure from the broken page. Travellers who want authoritative detail on the dining room, open kitchen, bar counter or seating capacity should ask the property directly, since none of these points are currently confirmed in writing by the operator. ### What to order No dish or drinks list is published by Melograno at the time of writing, so gtour.ge is not able to name specific plates, cocktails or wines on the operator’s authority. Rather than invent a menu, the points below describe what is reasonable to expect from a central Tbilisi hotel restaurant bearing this name, pending confirmation on site. - Pomegranate-accented dishes or drinks — plausible given the restaurant’s name, but not confirmed by a published menu. - Georgian staples — many hotel restaurants in Tbilisi offer a baseline of Georgian dishes such as khachapuri or khinkali alongside an international menu, though this is not confirmed specifically for Melograno. - A bar list — the “bar-restaurant” framing of the operator’s own (currently inactive) web page suggests cocktails and wine are part of the offer, though no list is available to quote. Travellers who want a verified sense of what is on the table should ask gtour.ge for an updated check closer to their visit, or request the current menu directly from the restaurant when booking. ### Menus, hours and prices None of these details are published on Melograno’s official web page, which currently shows only a 404 error. Gtour.ge cannot state opening hours, price ranges, set menus, breakfast service, or whether the restaurant operates lunch and dinner services, Sunday brunch, or any seasonal terrace, because none of this is confirmed by the operator at the time of writing. Visitors should treat any hours or prices found on third-party booking or review sites as unverified until confirmed directly with the restaurant. ### Reservations and practical details As the restaurant’s own booking page is not currently accessible, gtour.ge recommends contacting Melograno, or the Shota Hotels property it is attached to, directly by phone or through a hotel booking platform to confirm reservation procedures, group booking policies, dress code, and accessibility for children or large parties. Nothing on these points is stated publicly by the operator at this time. ### Location and getting there The address given is Taras Shevchenko 1, Tbilisi. Taras Shevchenko Street runs through central Tbilisi, in the area generally associated with the Vera district, within walking distance of Rustaveli Avenue, one of the city’s main thoroughfares, which is lined with theatres, museums, government buildings and the Rustaveli metro station. The street is named after the nineteenth-century Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko, a naming convention found in several post-Soviet cities. This part of Tbilisi sits close to Vera Park and is a short walk or taxi ride from Freedom Square and the old town, making it a convenient base for travellers wanting to be near the city centre rather than in the older Sololaki or Old Tbilisi quarters. Visitors arriving by taxi or ride-hailing app can give the address Taras Shevchenko 1 directly to the driver. Those coming on foot from Rustaveli Avenue or the Rustaveli metro station should expect a walk of a few minutes, given the street’s proximity to that axis, though gtour.ge has not independently timed the route from a specific starting point and recommends using a mapping app for exact walking directions. ### Good to know - The restaurant’s official web page (via shotahotels.com) currently returns a 404 “page not found” error, so no menu, hours or prices are confirmed by the operator online. - The name Melograno is Italian for pomegranate, a fruit also used in traditional Georgian cooking. - The address, Taras Shevchenko 1, places the restaurant in central Tbilisi, near Rustaveli Avenue and Vera Park. - The domain name and URL structure suggest an association with the Shota Hotels group, though this has not been independently confirmed by gtour.ge beyond the broken web link. - Travellers should confirm opening hours, menu and reservation policy directly with the restaurant before visiting. - Third-party listings sites may carry user-submitted hours, photos or menus, but these are not verified by gtour.ge against an operator source. - Central Tbilisi hotel restaurants in this area are generally accessible by taxi, ride-hailing apps, or on foot from the Rustaveli metro station. ### Questions travellers ask #### Is Melograno’s menu available online Not at the time of writing. The restaurant’s official web page returns a 404 error, so gtour.ge cannot confirm menu items, cuisine style or pricing from the operator. Visitors should ask the restaurant directly or check again closer to their travel date. #### What cuisine does Melograno serve This is not confirmed by the operator’s current website. The name is Italian for pomegranate, which may hint at Mediterranean influences, and pomegranate is also used in Georgian cuisine, but gtour.ge does not have a published statement from the restaurant confirming its culinary style. #### Where exactly is Melograno located The stated address is Taras Shevchenko 1, Tbilisi, a street in the central Vera district close to Rustaveli Avenue, Vera Park, and within reasonable reach of Freedom Square and the old town. #### Is Melograno part of a hotel The restaurant’s web address is hosted on a domain associated with Shota Hotels, and the page in question was labelled as a “bar-restaurant” page, which suggests a link to a hotel property. Gtour.ge has not been able to confirm the precise relationship, hotel name or ownership structure beyond this, since the page itself is not currently working. #### How should travellers book a table or confirm details Since no booking page, phone number or hours are currently published and working on the restaurant’s official site, gtour.ge recommends contacting the restaurant or its associated hotel directly, or asking a hotel concierge in Tbilisi, to confirm reservations, hours and menu before visiting. ### Sources - [Melograno — official website (shotahotels.com)](https://shotahotels.com/en/bar-restaurant) *Profiled in depth by the GTour desk on 27 October 2026 from the property’s official website; photographs are the property’s own, from its official website, credited under each image.
