Kristo Talakhadze

Kristo, a native Georgian, studied art in Amsterdam, managed one of Amsterdam's oldest jazz club but always yearned to live back in her hometown of Tbilisi until she couldn’t stand it anymore. As a member of the young creative class recreating the city these days, she focused on the cuisine and launched a restaurant concentrated on organic products from villages and local farmers, supporting them by organizing weekly farmers market. As the restaurant thrives, Kristo lends her passion for the city and its unique life by leading tours in the backstreets. Her hobby is wandering in old town neighborhoods and collecting forgotten flavors from around Georgia.
