Where to buy groceries, Georgian sauces (like tkemali) and find a big affordable supermarket in Batumi?

For clothing and other goods, the Hopa market was mentioned in September 2026 — participants described it as a clothing market, though they had not been there themselves. The Boni market is better suited to groceries.

In August 2026 a participant advised buying meat, vegetables and other groceries where you can taste them first, since tastes differ — for example, at an agro hub. He did not recommend the market for this.

The Boni market, participants said in September 2026, is a food market but also sells souvenirs. In August it was mentioned as one of the more distant markets people go to for groceries such as meat, vegetables, eggs and milk when central supermarkets disappoint.

Asked where to buy groceries at good prices within walking distance of the center, a participant answered bluntly in August 2026: good prices are where rents are cheap, and the city center is not that place. Instead of hunting for a cheap shop downtown, he suggested tracking supermarket discounts. In the same discussion another shopper said Carrefour and Spar had disappointed her.
