When talking about cuisines from Europe in the US most often the focus is on French and Italian and perhaps sometimes Spanish and Greek but hardly anything else. But there are many more distinct cuisines which never get their recognition. Georgian cuisine is one of them with their use of tarragon and walnuts. Bevri https://www.bevri.com/ is one of the few Georgian restaurants on the Bay area with two locations in Los Altos and Palo Alto. Our first dinner at the Los Altos location didn’t really have any weak dishes and a few strong highlights with badrijani salad, khinkali dumplings (great broth inside) and the khachapuri.

Khinkali dumplings, pork & beef
Khachapuri adjaruli, boat-shaped cheese bread with butter and an egg
