Georgian cuisine is well-known in former Soviet Union countries for its rich and distinguished taste. This traditional food is
highly influenced by the location of the country. As Georgia is located in the center of various trade routes, Georgian cuisine is based on various culinary ideas carried along these trade routes by traders and merchants of the middle ages. The majority of the food recipes are ancient, based on the traditional ways of cooking. The famous Georgian dishes are Khinkali, Khachapuri, Lobio, Pkhali and others.
Only being ancient does not make Georgian cuisine worth trying as there are many other restaurants in Paris that serve food cooked by old methods. Aside being ancient Georgian food is very uncommon: it is only found either in Georgia or in the neighboring countries. So, unless you are not living in one of the former Soviet Union countries it is always difficult to find Georgian restaurant outside Georgia.
