🇬🇪 Tblisi - Georgia :




☆ Overall Vote:

9/10 ★




Location:

Restaurant Meama

address:

8 ძმები ზდანევიჩების ქუჩა, 

თბილისი



☆ Food: 8/10 ★


There are a lot choices in the menu, mostly classic Georgian dishes, so a good idea to try the local cuisine! 


Now considering that Georgia is the wine's birthplace (over 8000 years ago) one dish in particular caught my attention:

Pork with white wine sauce (as shown in the picture) 


The list of wine available in this location it's impressive, so finding the perfect wine to match with this dish was not difficult, the sauce enhance the taste of the meat and is not pungent at all, again to underline the right wine that has been chosen to appreciate more the overall taste

 

If you prefer something different, the fish based dishes are also recommended in this restaurant 


☆ Vibe: 10/10 ★


The location is not that easy to reach, is up on the hills, but the bright side is that the view from the restaurant it's really amazing and you can see the whole city while having your meal, the lights of the city create a better atmosphere so evening meals can make you appreciate more the view 


✪ Interesting facts:


⍟  As mentioned previously, 

Georgia is proud to be the birthplace of wine, 

and surprisingly at the border control 

after checking your passport, they give you

 a small bottle of wine as a welcome, 

and honestly receiving a gift during the

 passport check is unexpected and 

therefore more than appreciated:

GL - Glycemic Load what is it, how to calculate this for each food and why can be more accurate than the GI - Glycemic Index

Similar to the GI we can divide food based on GL that can be: LOW:  under 10 MEDIUM: 11-19 HIGH: over 20   In the previous post we discussed about the GI - Glicemic Index and you might have noticed that sometimes could be confusing and has some flows : - It doesn't consider a portion of that food , so is just giving a generic number to it and sometimes is not that accurate - An example is: watermelon which appears to have a high GI but is actually not becuase it reaches that level only with a very large portion  - GI is a good way to make quick food choices but GL is more accurate and is the next step for a better understanding on what kind of food choices to make - The preparation and other ingredients change the GI for example fibers or a longer cooking method will lower the GI level from the one you will see reported officially There are many tables you can find online basically for any kind of food and here some: http://dietdatabase.com/glycemic-index-an...
