Tiflisi

Tiflisi is a casual restaurant at 1970 Queen Street East in Toronto's Beaches neighbourhood, in Ontario, Canada, serving Georgian and Central Asian food. It is listed in the Michelin Guide Toronto 2026 selection as a Bib Gourmand, the guide's recognition of good-value cooking. The listed specialty is Georgian breads and dumplings, and the named signature dishes are khachapuri and khinkali. Khachapuri is the cheese-filled Georgian bread, often served in a boat shape with a runny egg, and khinkali are large pleated dumplings traditionally filled with spiced meat and broth, eaten by hand. Both have become emblematic of Georgian cuisine abroad, and the restaurant offers a rare chance in Toronto to try them in a neighbourhood setting. The listed average is CAD 30-60 per person, or about USD 22-43, which is moderate and rewards ordering several dishes to share. The dining room is warm and informal, with casual dress and a convivial noise level that suits groups and families. Georgian wine, including amber wines made in clay vessels, and Georgian-style drinks are often a highlight at restaurants of this type, so the beverage menu is worth exploring. The Beaches is a lakeside residential district, popular with locals and with visitors heading to the boardwalk and beach, and the Queen Street East streetcar runs along the same road. The restaurant's own website is the best source for the current booking approach, as Toronto restaurants variously use OpenTable, Resy or Tock, and summer weekends in the Beaches can be busy.
