TL;DR
In summer 2026 participants bought fresh meat in Batumi at Carrefour and at the Magniti store on Inasaridze Street (beef, pork, chicken), as well as at a Turkish meat shop in the Voks area that sells chicken, beef, lamb and marinated meat. Many buy beef and mince at local butcher shops, though reviews say quality varies. In September 2026 pork neck at Carrefour cost 19.50 GEL per kilogram.
Price reference: in September 2026 pork neck at Carrefour cost 19.50 GEL per kilogram; participants were looking for butcher shops in the Shartava area that would sell it for under 19 GEL.
Local butcher shops are a common choice for beef and mince. In August 2026 regular customers of one such shop 'by the roundabout' said prices are fairly low but quality is sometimes questionable, with old beef delivered at times. Inspect the meat before buying; in September 2026 participants also noted that Google Maps reviews of some places are off-putting.
In August 2026 a resident of the Batumi View area was told there is a shop nearby with excellent semi-prepared meat products, and that fresh beef, pork and chicken can be bought at Carrefour and at the Magniti store on Inasaridze Street.
Based on a traveler's experience in August 2026, ready-made cutlets are convenient to buy at the Pelmenidze shop, and frozen chicken fillet at Magniti was of decent quality.
In August 2026 beef was also seen at the Goodwill supermarket, though its price and quality were not compared with other stores. Another participant had seen meat at Agrohub.
Origin of the meat: according to a participant in July 2026, pork and beef in Batumi are local, and lamb is local too, raised by ethnic Azerbaijani farmers.
Turkey is harder to find: in September 2026 participants wrote that stores mostly carry chicken. In July 2026 one butcher shop had chilled turkey for a while, but it cost about one and a half times as much as beef.
In July 2026 a participant had been recommended a Czech butcher, but said it seems to work through delivery within Batumi, and she had not checked whether it has a physical shop.
Participants praised a Turkish meat shop in the Voks area in July and August 2026: it sells chicken, beef and lamb, including ready-marinated meat, plus charcoal and firelighters for grilling.
