Nunuka Bistrot: Madrid's Culinary Gem Celebrates Georgian Heritage with Michelin Recognition

Madrid, the heart of Spain, renowned for its rich culinary landscape, has recently witnessed the ascent of a new gastronomic star - Nunuka Bistrot. Located in the bustling Chueca district, this eatery has carved a unique niche for itself by introducing the flavors of Georgia, a cuisine previously underrepresented in the city.

After opening its doors just after the pandemic, Nunuka quickly got a lot of attention. By May 2023, it even earned a spot in the famous Michelin Guide. According to Michelin's website, Nunuka is a top pick for anyone wanting to try out Georgian food.

As per Michelin's official website, the restaurant stands out as an introduction to Georgian delights. It reads, "For those unfamiliar with Georgian cuisine, Nunuka in Madrid's Chueca district offers an exquisite introduction to the nation's signature dishes, enveloping them in a symphony of flavors."

The story behind Nunuka is as captivating as the dishes it serves. The founder's fond memories of growing up under the loving gaze of her grandmother in Batumi, a picturesque city in Georgia, shape the ethos of the restaurant. Tales of a childhood filled with the aromas of traditional Georgian dishes, especially the khachapuri (a cheese-filled bread), form the backbone of Nunuka's menu.
