If you’ve never had the opportunity to travel to Georgia, we can highly recommend making a trip to “Der blaue Fuchs” at Kollwitzplatz. The Georgian restaurant has been around since 2019 and is now a popular neighborhood spot. Georgians are known for their hospitality and that’s also evident here. A friendly, cozy and familiar atmosphere with lots of colorful tablecloths, the walls are adorned with different works of Georgian artists from the 1920s such as Petre Otskheli. When it’s warm outside, the terrace is lively with high spirits.
Der blaue Fuchs is not only a restaurant, but also a wine bar: Georgian natural wine is special, as it’s made in clay amphorae. We recommend starting with Georgian amber (orange) wine, along with various appetizers from the menu. Especially delicious: grilled eggplant stuffed with a spicy walnut paste and baked beets with pomegranate seeds. It’s also worth ordering Georgian pastries like “khachapuri” or “lobiani” as well. When it comes to main courses, you are spoiled for choice: Would you prefer “lobio”, a kidney bean stew, or “adjapsandali”, a Georgian ratatouille with eggplant, potatoes and fresh herbs? If you like meat, you should definitely try the famous roast chicken “tabaka” with garlic sauce. Finally, we finished our meal with “korkoti”, a dessert made of wheat, raisins, walnuts, honey and a brandy made from grapes in oak barrels – “chacha”. Small tip: On weekends, it’s best to reserve a table ahead of time.
