The main aim of the restaurant "Old House" is to present the multiple cultures of different Georgian regions as a whole. The name for the restaurant - "The Old House" is preconditioned by its location and interior.

The restaurant was constructed and designed by the architect Gaga Kiknadze. The uniform designer is Nino Nidjaradze from the company "BUTTON". The restaurant was opened on September 15, 2001 and nowadays it is regarded as one of the prestigious restaurants. The fact, that the restaurant is a winner of a competition among Tbilisi restaurants, proves the matter. We have the honor to serve Georgians, as well as representatives from foreign embassies and institutions in Georgia. As soon as you enter the restaurant's yard, you get impressed by traditional Georgian architecture and spirit: Georgian bake-house - "Tone", barbecue equipment, grill and larger stove for roasting whole calf or goat ling, well and a kettle for distilling vodka.

The restaurant has got 350 seats: big hall, detached compartments, 2 VIP detached compartments, traditional hut "patskha" and summer terrace. At the big hall the elements of "Svan" tower are noticeable, operates a big fire-place and plays live music. The compartments have got traditional interior. Here the functioning of a "climate-control" system conditions warm and cool air.

You may feel an atmosphere of Georgian region "Samegrelo" in traditional hut with hearth, law tables and chairs. A visitor may keep an eye on preparing of national dishes: "gomi", "elarji", megrelian "Kupati" and also watch, how a calf meat and pork is fumed before roasting. The terrace is designed in a modern Georgian style, though the ancient Georgian features may be observed as well. The terrace has a nice view on the river "Mtkvari". Truly, it is a great pleasure to spent hot summer days here.
