WELCOME TO BEVRI
The Bay Area’s taste of Georgia
Bevri opened in 2018 as the Bay Area’s first Georgian restaurant — bringing the cheese breads, dumplings, and wines of a country most guests had never tasted before to downtown Palo Alto.
The name means “a lot” in Georgian, and it shows up in the portions, the wine list, and the way a table fills up with small plates meant for sharing. It’s food built around the Georgian supra: a long table, a lot of dishes, and no rush to leave it.
Hand-woven textiles and a working wood-fired oven set the tone the moment you walk in. Behind the bar, a wine wall stocked with Georgian qvevri wines — fermented in clay vessels the way it’s been done for eight thousand years — anchors a drinks program you won’t find anywhere else nearby.
Why we’re tip-free
The price on the menu is the price on the bill. No tip line, no service charge, and no automatic gratuity on large parties — whether it’s a table of two or a party of twenty-five.
We didn’t do it to make a statement. It’s simply easier this way, for us and for our guests: one number, settled before the meal instead of after it. It’s also how restaurants work in Georgia and across most of Europe, which is where this food comes from. Our team is paid a set wage rather than depending on what lands in the tip line.
