Rioni Tampere is an authentic Georgian restaurant located on Rautatienkatu, just a short walk from Tampere railway station and the main streets of the city centre. Inside you’ll find warm lighting, brick and wood details and Georgian-inspired decor that create a cosy, intimate atmosphere. The menu focuses on classic Georgian dishes: different styles of khachapuri, khinkali dumplings, aubergine and vegetable starters with walnut, hearty meat and vegetable stews, fresh salads and house-baked bread. In addition to meat dishes, the restaurant offers gluten-free, vegetarian and fully plant-based options, clearly explained by the staff. The wine list features a selection of Georgian wines chosen to complement the rich flavours of the food.
Rioni Tampere is popular among locals and visitors for relaxed dinners, celebrations and evenings out after events in the city. Reviews often highlight the generous portions, balanced seasoning, friendly and attentive service and the welcoming, unhurried atmosphere. Its central yet slightly tucked-away location makes it easy to add to a Tampere itinerary, whether you are in town for one night or a longer stay. For many guests it becomes a “go-to” place for Georgian food in Pirkanmaa.
