Gourmet Guide: Where to Eat in Batumi and How to Pair Dishes with Wine at LEVEL

Gastronomy as Art: Where to Eat Well in Batumi?

If you are wondering where to eat in Batumi and are looking for a place where classic traditions meet a modern approach, welcome to LEVEL. We are more than just a wine bar in Batumi; we are a space where fusion cuisine in Batumi finds its true meaning through the perfect wine accompaniment.

Duck and Risotto: A Play on Contrasts

Our chefs love to experiment. Take, for example, our duck with a tkemali-demiglace sauce. The dense texture of the poultry and the sweet-and-sour astringency of the sauce require a wine with character. The ideal choice from our wine list is a dry Aleksandrouli or an aged Saperavi. Their tannins and berry notes perfectly highlight the depth of the demiglace.

And how about risotto with matsoni and truffle? This dish is a real challenge. The acidity of the matsoni and the earthy aroma of the truffle require something special. This is where the art of amber wines comes in. Pair it with a Kisi Amber or Krakhuna Amber — amber qvevri wines possess the density and structure that won't get lost against the truffle.

Why Does Proper Pairing Matter?

Wine is not just a drink; it is an extension of the dish's story. If you want to dive deeper into the topic, join us on July 21st for our "8000 Years of Qvevri" lecture. We will break down in detail how the magic of the 8000-year-old tradition influences the taste of modern Georgian wine. And on July 25th, we invite you to our exclusive gastro-dinner "5 Ambers × 5 Dishes" (120₾), where we will demonstrate the true meaning of gastronomic balance.
