Chacha - Parnas

Delicious restaurant! We went there on the evening of our arrival in St. Petersburg and we really had a great time. The staff was really nice and explained to us the different specialties on the menu. The food was really good and we tried many different dishes. I recommend this place without any hesitation.

Charming interiors and authentic Georgian cuisine are what makes this place great for a lunch or dinner with friends and family. I had the Georgian salad, made with eggplant, paprika, purple onions, cilantro and spices, topped with pommegranate seeds and it was delightful, especially if you pair it with the Mengrelian Khachapuri the traditional pizza like bread with local cheese. It’s very filling so I recommend getting only these two dishes and some Georgian wine if you are not too hungry. If you are try some of the many stews served in minj saucepans.

Always very good typical Georgian cuisine. Very good wines on a extended wine list from Georgia. Warm welcome and attention from the staff. Cosy place to find a refuge when winter knocks at the door in this northern Venice.

We came across this Georgian restaurant by complete accident and was a bit doubtful as it is situated at a very touristy street. But it turned out to be a good accident as every single dish we had was the best in St. Petersburg. The strawberry lemonade was chilled, tangy and refreshing. The salmon salad fresh with basalmic vinegar and orange sauce. The grilled mushroom and potatoes super hot, soft yet chewy. The Sulgini cheese and meat stuffed savory Khachapuri was flavourful where you can taste the aroma of the baked flour. The pork and beef kebab is also and excellent dish with its spicy sauce. Lastly, staffs there were very friendly!

Excellent quality of Georgian food. The khachapuri was excellent, the khinkali was tasty as well. The phkali (dips) were truly the highlight. My favourite was the green bean phkali as well as the eggplant stuffed with walnut and Georgian spices. The eggplant had a perfect, smoky taste while went so well with the walnut. The fruit tea was also excellent not too sweet, with rich fruit flavour. #localguides #georgianfood
