Washingtonians to enjoy Georgian dance and cuisine soon
SUPRA will be Washington DC’s first Georgian restaurant coming to Shaw neighborhood at 1205 11th Street, NW. Opening in October, Supra is already one of America’s most-anticipated new restaurants according to the national edition of Eater.com.
The menu will celebrate the full range of Georgian food — the rustic and the refined, dishes both traditional and reimagined — brought to the table by Chef Malkhaz Maisashvili, who brings over 25 years’ experience preparing Georgian cuisine and is the former Chef of the Embassy of Georgia in the U.S. The drinks program will focus on Georgian wines — red, white, sparkling, and traditional amber — and creative cocktails featuring Georgia’s unique spirit “chacha” as well as notes from the food and wine.
Like the country itself, Supra will balance the old and the new, drawing inspiration from centuries of history while looking boldly to the future. The décor will take the same approach: traditional elements worked into modern pieces, combining the historical and the hip into a beautiful space that the restaurant founders and owners Jonathan and Laura Nelms promise to show off soon.
