Georgian Lunch at a "Real" Georgian Restaurant

One of the first really fun things we did together as a group in Georgia was to go to a restaurant and enjoy traditional Georgian foods.

The restaurant was pretty interesting.  It had a main "lodge" surrounded by various smaller cabins in which tables were set up.  Each cabin would hold only one large table, or maybe two at the most.  Most (all?) of the cabins had fireplaces.  Neat place!

In the foreground -- Georgian dumplings, aka "khinkali".  Delish.  Other highlights: cheese bread (khatchapuri), mineral waters, bean bread (lobiani), spinach, eggplant with walnut paste (good!), & roasted meats.

Here is a picture of our whole group at the restaurant (you can see two of the dining cabins in the background!).
