Rioni is one of Tampere’s most highly rated restaurants and the city’s home of authentic Georgian cuisine, set in a warm, elegant space near the railway station. Georgian food is a genuine discovery for most diners, and Rioni does it beautifully — from the legendary khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread) and hand-made khinkali dumplings to richly flavoured mains, all presented with real care and colour. The restaurant is also the place in Tampere to taste proper Georgian wine, with top-quality bottles served by the glass. Guests consistently praise the knowledgeable, friendly staff who happily explain each dish, the relaxing atmosphere and the generous, satisfying portions. For a memorable meal that’s a little different, Rioni is a must-visit in Tampere.
