Fashionable Café-Restaurant Dinehall Opens on Rustaveli

The new eye-catching space located at 28 Rustaveli in a late 18th century building and covering a total area of 1000 sq. m, has become the home of the first casual café-restaurant designed by Maqro Construction’s designers: Dinehall Fresh Casual. After a USD 6 mln investment, Dinehall has opened its doors ready to serve guests from 07.30 am to 02 00 am.

Offering a fabulous mix of food, wine and art, Dinehall combines five venues in one. The first floor includes a Café and Restaurant serving local and international dishes, while the floor below houses a bar/wine cellar surrounded by the preserved historical walls of the building. There is also more space available for special and corporate events in an expo-hall section. This space also showcases artwork made by Georgian sculptors Levan Bujiashvili and Lasha Kukhalashvili from Art Group Red Table.

The design is eclectic, the mix of styles encompassing the most exquisite taste. As Murat Avji, CEO of Maqro Construction, said in conversation with GEORGIA TODAY, ‘Fresh Casual’ was selected as the name of the branch because the dishes are prepared with the freshest ingredients - something that Georgia can be proud of – as well as the expertise of top chefs with international experience. “We believe that people deserve the best of everything. That is why we are opening the first branch of our international fresh casual café-restaurant in Tbilisi, with the belief that ‘Good food is a human right,’” he said.

Dinehall management claims that the dishes they offer are already outstanding, and guaranteed to beat the best of expectations. The menu comprises international as well as local dishes. Attendees at the pre-opening event had a chance sample a 5-course meal starting with a sumptuous chicken soup and mushrooms, followed by an ultra-light salad of greens. The lamb barbecue came as the third course, carried on by the main course – beef with pasta. Last but not least, if not the best, a delicious chocolate dessert with caramelized banana sprinkled with walnut slices- a definite favorite with the female guests!

GEORGIA TODAY spoke to fellow guest Lika Lazariashvili, “Everything is so exquisite here. I do believe that Dinehall will become of the favorite haunts for Georgians as well as foreigners. The only problem is parking, as usual. If somebody wishes to have a fashionable birthday, wedding, corporate party, or just a romantic dinner, this is the right place. The tasty food and original interior make a really nice tandem.”
