Salty
Garden

Salty Garden is a tavern, a garden and a camping, situated in Mlashe mountain village, 50 km far from Tbilisi.

In 2019 following our dream we, David and Tania, decided to move from the city to the village. We were always attracted by the idea to live outdoors, enjoy mountain and a lake view, see all the sunrises and sunsets over a cup of tea or a glass of a good wine.

That is why we built a tavern and planted a fruit garden on a land, which belongs to David’s family over more than 300 years.

All products for our tavern are supplied by local farmers. It allows to maintain a good quality of the food and support local producers.

Include a visit to Salty Garden in your Georgian itinerary and enjoy simple joys of good food and connection with nature.

FAMILY
TAVERN

Salty Garden’s kitchen is represented by traditional for georgian village dishes.

Our philosophy is slow food & support local. That is why our cooking is based on fresh farm products, produced by local households in Mtskheta-Mtianeti region.

Garden

We planted a waste fruit garden next to our tavern. There you can find apple, pear, plum, cherry, apricot trees. Depending on the season you can walk through the garden, watching it in its blossoming, try dishes made of its fruits or participate in the harvest process.

We grow our own walnut-tree, jujube, bayleaf, spices very typical for this area veggies and herbs. All these plants will be used in our kitchen.
