Bread Boat

Bread Boat is a Georgian kitchen known for khachapuri, the cheese-filled boat-shaped bread that is Georgia's national dish. Boats are hand-shaped and baked to order, with an egg and butter stirred into the molten cheese at the table. The menu also includes kubdari stuffed with spiced beef, lobiani with kidney beans and bacon, pkhali with walnut paste, and honey-walnut Ideal Cake, plus Georgian wine aged in qvevri clay vessels.

The Austin location is at 1912 East 7th Street in East Austin, and it has a second kitchen on Richmond Ave in Houston. Orders can be placed online ahead of a visit, and the boats are best eaten hot. The kitchen says it uses no seed oils and no bleached flour, and gift cards are available.
