The story
"Vazi" translates to wine in Georgian, yet the name represents far more than the beverage at this restaurant on Malá Štěpánská in Prague. The kitchen delivers a piece of Georgia through original recipes that showcase the unmistakable flavors of the Caucasus. Diners encounter fresh herbs, nuts, pomegranates, and cheese as essential building blocks of the cuisine. Handmade khinkali and freshly baked khachapuri arrive from the kitchen following traditional preparation methods.
The menu extends beyond breads to include charcho, a beef soup built on a strong broth enriched with tomatoes and herbs. Pork shashlik arrives served in a clay pot, preserving the smoky depth expected from Caucasian grilling. Stuffed khinkali dumplings provide a comforting centerpiece, while other flavorful grilled dishes cater to hearty appetites. Each plate emphasizes robust ingredients to balance the richness found in these savory selections.
Light floods an elegant room that feels airy and pleasantly bright throughout the day. Staff provide attentive service as guests navigate the offerings. The cellar highlights vintages from across Georgia, supporting the cuisine with a curated wine list. Patrons can explore amber wines aged in clay amphorae called kvevri, offering a distinct taste of local winemaking heritage. Every glass complements the herbal notes and nutty textures present on the plates.
