Restaurant lunch, not something we do often. We've passed a nice local place, nothing pretentious, a few times while out walking and decided to to give it a try today since we wanted to be out.
Very nice concept - buffet style and everything is priced per 100 grams. So we each got a plate, plate got zeroed on the scale, and we pointed to what we wanted.
Dalene got a piece of chicken pie and some chicken stew (chicken with sweetcorn, peppers and tomatoes) with a fried potato mushroom hash.
I was going to get the rice pilaf, but that potato mushroom mix looked so nice, I decided on that instead. A generous piece of trout, a nice pastry of cottage cheese and eggs and a traditional salad of eggplant, pepper and onion with a mayonnaise dressing completed my plate.
Total bill was 19.95 Lari (about $7.50) with no service or other fees.
Nice and tasty food, not over the top portions (well we did pick the size of the portions ourselves
) and nice seating space made for a very nice outing.
This has made it onto our list of places with good meals.
Collage is from the restaurants facebook page.

Sounds good Berend. I love buffets, or rather used to.

Was a guy in Rivonia who used to make a buffet with over 200 dishes, that put me off it for quite a while. But this is decent sized and nothing dried out

That buffet looks very good. There are a few Georgian restaurants in the Bay Area—one in San Carlos and one in Palo Alto, that I know of.
