Famous Italian chef Enzo Neri has joined the team of “Mercure Tbilisi Old Town“ since March 2020 – „I have been working in the culinary industry for 19 years, at different times I held leading positions as a chef, consultant and manager. Culinary, preparation, hosting, sharing, experiments are my passion.

This is what motivates me to be the best chef and leader and to inspire the people around me. I get inspiration for various sources - culture, music, history, arts, everyday life and the people themselves. Preparing a dish is like creating a sculpture or a drawing, you play with colors, shapes and at the same time add flavors.

When I was making Khinkali experiment, I first studied the traditional Khinkali recipe and decided to prepare a sweet version of it. I used local products - Nadughi and walnuts. I added cocoa to the dough. As the chocolate Khinkali has no juice, it is recommended to serve it with English cream, which has a light citrus flavor.”
