When mentioning Georgia, the first thing that many people think of may be Stalin’s hometown.
In addition, most Chinese people have very limited knowledge of this country.
What's more, Georgia's cuisine is also very famous.
There are many Western restaurants in Beijing. Compared with mainstream Western foods such as French cuisine and Italian cuisine, Georgian cuisine is undoubtedly very niche in the Western food segment.
In the North Street of Sanlitun, Chaoyang District, Beijing, there is a Western restaurant called "Gru Xiuse". It is the only Georgian restaurant in Beijing, hidden in a quiet corner next to the embassy district.
Although it is unremarkable on the outside, there is something special inside.
Just like this country, although it is low-key and reserved, it has its own uniqueness.
Since its opening in 2015, "Gru Xiuse" has occupied a place in the fiercely competitive Western food field in Beijing, relying on its unique taste and high-quality service.
It has been selected into the "Must Eat Restaurants in Beijing" list on major food platforms many times.
The restaurant is located in a chic two-story small Western-style building. The plaque and wooden arch at the door have a somewhat European medieval feel.
A bronze man in traditional Georgian clothes was guarding the door of the restaurant with a wine glass. He also put on a white mask very appropriately, which was quite joyful.
The decoration style of the store is also very exquisite and artistic. The overall style is simple and elegant. The red brick arches, birdcage chandeliers and exquisite oil paintings are full of exotic style everywhere.
Various exquisite decorations and pendants perfectly match the temperament of the entire restaurant, giving the restaurant environment a sense of lightness and luxury.
The restaurant bar also has a European style, with exquisite wine sets neatly placed, gorgeous and simple, and the national flags of China and Georgia are also placed on the bar.
The restaurant is not large in area, but the layout is regular. Coupled with the floor-to-ceiling bay windows on one side, the dining environment is warm and pleasant.
The most important thing is that the service in the restaurant is also very considerate and considerate. There are also several foreign waiters, most of whom are from Central Asian countries, and they have no problem communicating in simple Chinese.
But if you feel that there are some issues that you cannot communicate with, then find a Chinese waiter.
? Several signature dishes in the restaurant are all traditional Georgian dishes. The names of the dishes are all directly transliterated from Georgian, which is a bit difficult to pronounce.
You may not be able to remember the names of the dishes, but you can definitely remember their taste: mainly chicken breast, eggs, cucumbers, carrots, potatoes, and green beans, paired with homemade salad dressing.
This dish is the signature salad of this restaurant, but the dish is not unique to Georgia, but originated from Russia. It has a refreshing taste and is enough to open up your taste buds.
Traditional Western food can be found on the tables of many Western restaurants, and it is also a very delicious appetizer.

The numbing texture is impressive, with crispy pork pieces and refreshing and delicious onions.
This dish is an internet celebrity in this restaurant and is very popular among Chinese diners. Probably because the taste is very suitable for Chinese tastes.
However, some of them are quite difficult to chew, so those with bad teeth should be careful.

When eating, you must first stir the eggs, then cut them from the outside to the inside, and dip them in the mixture in the middle. The taste will be silky and rich.
