The group describes itself as a network built around Georgian cuisine, architecture, hospitality and folklore, and Tsiskvili Terrace is one of its Tbilisi houses, sitting on the river embankment rather than inside the older ethnographic-style compounds the brand is best known for. ### The concept, the chef and the room The Tsiskvili Group’s own account of itself centres on authenticity: the company says its mission is “to share Georgia’s rich cultural heritage through food, architecture and hospitality,” and that it wants to be recognised internationally as an ambassador of Georgian cuisine and hospitality. The group states that it now runs eight restaurants under the Tsiskvili name — Ethno Tsiskvili, Ludis Moedani Dighomi, Ghvinis Ezo, Mtskheta Tsiskvili, Tsqneti Tsiskvili, Theatri, Tsiskvili Terrace and Ludis Moedani Saburtalo — with a further house, Sanadimo, also listed in the site’s navigation. Group-wide, the company says it employs more than 750 people. No chef is named for Tsiskvili Terrace specifically on the website, and the site does not describe the room, seating or décor of this particular branch beyond its name and address. What is confirmed is the setting: the restaurant stands on Zviad Gamsakhurdia Embankment, the riverside road that runs along the Mtkvari (Kura) river through Tbilisi, an area used by several restaurants and cafés for views over the water. The group states more broadly that it values “quality and consistency,” partnerships with local suppliers for ingredients, staff training programmes, and that it hosts cultural events, culinary masterclasses and folklore or choreographic evenings at its venues as part of its wider strategy — though the website does not specify which of these activities, if any, take place at the Terrace branch itself. *Image: Tsiskvili Terrace — Spacious industrial-style restaurant terrace with exposed ductwork, pendant lights, and set dining tables. — Spacious industrial-style restaurant terrace with exposed ductwork, pendant lights, and set dining tables.

The menu is organised into appetisers, salads, shared (“saziaro”) plates, soups, oven dishes, main courses, grilled skewers (mtsvadi), kebabs, khinkali, side dishes and desserts. Prices on the website are stated to include VAT, and the restaurant asks that guests check with their server for allergen information, as this is not printed on the menu itself. Prices on the Tsiskvili Terrace menu range from around 4.50 (for a piece of Kakhetian shoti bread) up to 210 for the most expensive main course, a whole baked beef shank served with saffron rice and corn lavash; most starters, salads and mains fall between 17 and 58. Skewers and kebabs are priced per portion rather than by weight. The website does not state opening hours, service times, or whether the restaurant offers set menus, a lunch deal or tasting menus; travellers should confirm these directly with the restaurant. ### Reservations and practical details The Tsiskvili Group lists a central phone number, +995 032 2 00 55 55, and a general email address, info@tsiskvili.ge, for enquiries; the website does not provide a separate direct line for Tsiskvili Terrace, nor does it describe an online booking system. The group’s head office address, given on its contacts page, is Beliashvili 99 in Tbilisi — this is the group’s administrative address and is not the same as the Tsiskvili Terrace restaurant address on the embankment. For table reservations at the Terrace location specifically, contacting the group through the listed phone number or email is the option the website provides. ### Location and getting there Tsiskvili Terrace is located at Zviad Gamsakhurdia Embankment 80, on the road that runs along the Mtkvari river in Tbilisi. This embankment is a well-used thoroughfare linking several central and western districts of the city along the riverside, and it is served by city buses and is within reach of taxi and ride-hailing apps, which remain the simplest way for visitors to reach a specific riverside address in Tbilisi. The website does not give directions, parking information or a recommended metro stop for this branch, so travellers are advised to confirm the best route with their accommodation or a taxi driver using the address directly. ### Good to know - Tsiskvili Terrace is one of eight restaurants the Tsiskvili Group says it operates in Tbilisi, Mtskheta and Tsqneti. - The group states it has been operating since 2002 and employs more than 750 people across its restaurants. - Menu prices on the website include VAT. - Allergen information is available on request from waiting staff, not printed on the menu. - The restaurant’s own menu covers khachapuri, khinkali, mtsvadi skewers, kebabs, soups, salads and desserts. - General enquiries for the group go through +995 032 2 00 55 55 or info@tsiskvili.ge. - The head office address (Beliashvili 99) is distinct from the Tsiskvili Terrace restaurant address on the embankment. - The website does not publish opening hours for this location. ### Questions travellers ask #### What type of food does Tsiskvili Terrace serve? Traditional Georgian cuisine, according to the Tsiskvili Group’s own description of its restaurants. The Terrace menu includes khachapuri, khinkali, grilled meats, soups such as kharcho and chikhirtma, and Georgian cheese and pkhali plates, alongside a handful of non-Georgian dishes such as a Caesar salad and a spicy Asian-style soup with mushroom pelmeni. #### Is Tsiskvili Terrace part of a larger restaurant group? Yes. It belongs to the Tsiskvili Group, which the company says has run Georgian restaurants since 2002 and now operates eight houses, including Ethno Tsiskvili, Ludis Moedani Dighomi and Saburtalo, Ghvinis Ezo, Mtskheta Tsiskvili, Tsqneti Tsiskvili, Theatri and Tsiskvili Terrace, with Sanadimo also listed on the website. #### Does the restaurant serve khinkali? Yes. The Tsiskvili Terrace menu lists several types, including beef, a city/mtiuluri style with pork and beef, mushroom, cheese, potato and khinkluka, each priced per piece. #### What are the opening hours and how do I book a table? The official website does not state opening hours for this location. For reservations, the Tsiskvili Group gives a general contact phone number, +995 032 2 00 55 55, and email address, info@tsiskvili.ge; no separate online booking system is described for the Terrace branch. #### How do I get to Tsiskvili Terrace? The restaurant’s address is Zviad Gamsakhurdia Embankment 80, along the Mtkvari riverside road in Tbilisi. The website does not give specific directions or transport advice, so a taxi or ride-hailing app using the address is the most straightforward way for visitors to arrive. ### Sources - [Tsiskvili Terrace — official website (tsiskvili.ge)](https://tsiskvili.ge/) - [Tsiskvili Terrace: ჩვენ შესახებ](https://tsiskvili.ge/aboutuspage/) - [Tsiskvili Terrace: მენიუ](https://tsiskvili.ge/menu/) - [Tsiskvili Terrace: კონტაქტი](https://tsiskvili.ge/contacts/) - [Tsiskvili Terrace: ეთნო წისქვილი მეტის ნახვა](https://tsiskvili.ge/ethno-tsiskvili-menu/) - [Tsiskvili Terrace: ლუდის მოედანი დიღომი მეტის ნახვა](https://tsiskvili.ge/ludis-moedani-menu/) - [Tsiskvili Terrace: ლუდის მოედანი საბურთალო მეტის ნახვა](https://tsiskvili.ge/ludis-moedani-saburtalo-menu/) ### What to expect Tsiskvili Terrace is listed on tsiskvili.ge as one of several venues operated under the Tsiskvili restaurant group, alongside sister properties such as Eco Tsiskvili, Ludis Moedani (in both Dighomi and Saburtalo), Ghvinis Ezo, Sanadimo, Theatri, [Mtskheta](https://gtour.ge/georgia/mtskheta/)‘s Tsiskvili and Tsqneti’s Tsiskvili. According to the website, the group has been serving Georgian cuisine since 2002, under the tagline “authentic Georgian since 2002.” The site does not provide a separate narrative description for the Terrace location specifically, but lists it with the address [Tbilisi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/tbilisi/), Zviad Gamsakhurdia Embankment N80, consistent with the register entry for this page. The website states that the restaurant serves traditional Georgian dishes and links to a dedicated “Tsiskvili menu,” though the menu’s contents, dish names and prices are not reproduced in the text supplied here. The site includes an online ordering option, described as “order traditional dishes” (შეუკვეთე ტრადიციული კერძები), and a separate call button (“გამოიძახე”) suggesting that guests can place orders or make contact by phone, though no phone number, hours or minimum order details are given in this text. No information is provided on the website regarding opening hours, seasonal operation, room types, seating capacity, wine list or cellar details, tastings, or guided tours at the Terrace location. Likewise, the text does not mention facilities such as parking, Wi-Fi, or a swimming pool, nor does it specify group or family policies, children’s menus, or accepted languages for service. Payment methods and reservation procedures beyond the mentioned “order” and “call” functions are not described. The group’s website includes a blog and news section referencing cultural events it organizes, such as a Tbilisoba 2026 celebration said to have taken place “at Tsiskvili,” and a “Georgian Wine and Regions Festival 2026,” which the site describes as a project aimed at reviving Georgian history and promoting Georgian products and culture. The text does not specify whether these events were or will be held at the Terrace branch on the Gamsakhurdia Embankment, or at another of the group’s locations. The site also references an awards section, though specific awards or recognitions are not detailed in the supplied text. - Address: Tbilisi, Zviad Gamsakhurdia Embankment N80 (per the register and site listing) - Cuisine: traditional Georgian dishes, according to the website - Group history: Tsiskvili group states it has operated since 2002 - Ordering: online “order” option and a call/contact button are offered - Hours, prices, facilities, languages and booking details: not stated on the site Because the supplied website text is largely a group-wide navigation and promotional overview rather than a page dedicated to the Terrace branch, concrete operational details for this specific location are limited. Visitors seeking opening hours, menu prices, or facility information are advised to contact the venue directly, as the website itself does not publish these specifics for Tsiskvili Terrace.
