Had Ken as our waiter and he is exceptional as can describe the meal totally with enthusiasm. We have been there numerous times and we have never had a bad meal. The noodles are always a la dente and the flavours are awesome. The owner Nick is always on top of things. If you’ve never been - go. You will not be disappointed

The Bridgerton Spill the Tea Afternoon Tea was amazing. I’ve had other teas at other places and other Fairmonts and thought they did a great job! Look forward to the next one.

The food, staff, and atmosphere were absolutely fantastic. Having been there now, I can see why it is difficult to get a seat from time to time. Very nice place to relax, have a bite, and a drink or two before a shownat the theatre oe concert hall.

Georgian

Little Italy/Corydon Village

About the restaurant

Saperavi, is the first Georgian restaurant in the Canadian Prairies. We offer a wide variety of authentic dishes inspired by our very experienced chef. The cuisine is based on the culinary traditions of Georgia, developed through the centuries. We appreciate that only a relatively small number of Canadians have traveled to the country Georgia so we have brought a part of Georgia to Winnipeg. Whereas the cuisine is specific to the country, it has had some influences from Middle Eastern, Western Asian and European traditions. We have created a unique and personal dining experience, on Corydon Avenue, for our patrons.
