Servus! Or gamarjoba? As you enter the Brotmeister bakeries in Tbilisi, only the view out the window and Georgian versions of the menu on the blackboards remain your anchor to the local reality. Crisp pretzels, puff brötchen, extraordinary Sacher Torte and coffee a-la Viennese do their best to whisk you to Austria.

Actually, some ingredients are from Austria. They arrive in Georgia to be transformed into all these fantastic breads and pastries that are immediately delivered to multiple branches - Brotmeister is rather local than touristic: all the branches are in the Vake and Saburtalo districts.

In bigger branches, such as the one on Taktakishvili Street, you can get several big options for breakfast, lunch and light dinner. Smaller bakeries, like the one on Dolidze Street, have a big variety of pastry and coffee, though, they also offer great deals for breakfast lovers: for example, buy a coffee and get a croissant or muffin free.
