• Georgian • Vancouver

Booked 17 times today

Vancouver Now Has Its Very-Own Georgian Restaurant!Dediko, owned by a mother-son team, serves the country’s famous stuffed breads and dumplings out of a cheery Evergreen Boulevard cafe. Dediko’s menu is stacked with the classics of that region, with a number of different khachapuri, soup-filled dumplings called khinkali, walnut-heavy vegetable dishes called phkali, and various grilled meats called mtsvadi. Also coming from the grill, Dediko’s kababi consists of a kebab-like grilled ground chicken patty with Georgian spices, folded in a roll of lavash flatbread. Nico Bakh is partial to a homey dish called lobio, a bean stew served in an imported Georgian pot, complete with a side of fermented vegetables and a Georgian cornbread called mchadi.

Great Tapas/appetizer menu. The pork belly and mushroom toast! Yum. Very reasonable drink prices, and attentive service. Park in the hotel, and your ticket is validated, (takes the angst out of Waterfront parking. Bonus, 2 piece live band at just the right volume. Put it on your list.

The Sashimi was very good. No fishy odors. However, only one of our two rolls were great. The Toro Hosomaki roll was flavorless and small. The Scallop roll the same. The Geisha Roll had loads of flavor and I would order again. The Saki list was good and enjoyed our pick. Service was excellent. It is a little spendy compared to other sushi restaurants I frequent.
