Quick answer
Start at NUR or Grand Cafe. Start at NUR for coffee, move to a Vera table for dinner, then walk. Tbilisi dates run long and late, so book ahead, order to share, and keep the evening to two stops instead of five. The mistake is treating dinner as the whole night.
Start at NUR (★ 4.9, 326 reviews). Coffee first, dinner second, walk third. That is the whole shape of a Tbilisi date, and everything below is just the detail.

Tbilisi does not do the quick drink. It does the long table, the second bottle, the walk home at one in the morning because nobody wants to end it. A date here is a whole evening, not a slot. Plan for that and the city does the rest.
What to do in Tbilisi for couples?
Coffee first, because it is cheap, low-stakes and easy to leave. NUR (★ 4.9, 326 reviews) is a coffee shop serving specialty drinks and breakfast, which means you can turn a coffee into a breakfast and a breakfast into a whole morning without anyone deciding anything.
Then the walk. Lisi Lake takes a picnic and a stroll, and the dog shelter on the way lets you take one or two dogs around the area, which is the single best free icebreaker in the city (date ideas in Tbilisi). Fall is the season for a walk plus pastry, and a park with sandwiches, tea or juice works just as well (more date ideas).
The mistake: booking dinner at seven. Nothing in this city is warm at seven. Book for eight thirty and let the coffee carry the gap.
Where to take a date in Tbilisi for couples?
Vera. Every time. It is where the good tables sit close together and the walk between them is short, so you are never stuck in a cab explaining yourself.
Grand Cafe (★ 4.9, 934 reviews) is a Georgian restaurant for fine dining and artisanal desserts, which is the version of this city that shows up in a good shirt. Sakhli Kipianze (★ 4.9, 231 reviews) is a small family-run local Georgian restaurant on a historical street, which is the version that shows up in a good mood. Both are in Vera. Both are the right answer to a different question.
If the date is a birthday, Van Goghi (★ 4.8, 2,269 reviews) does European and Georgian fusion with signature cuisine and cocktails, and a room that carries a celebration without anyone having to announce it.
What to order: khinkali by the piece, never by the plate, and eat the first one with your hands. Locals hold the dough top like a handle, bite, drink the broth, and leave the knot on the plate. A fork and a knife on a khinkali is the tell that you have never done this before.

Fine dining here means a Georgian table with better lighting, not a European menu with a Georgian garnish. AMÓS Restaurant (★ 4.9, 374 reviews) is an authentic Georgian home restaurant serving reservation-only meals, so the reservation is not a suggestion, it is the door. Madre (★ 4.8, 1,120 reviews) is a Spanish eatery with a Basque-inspired menu and wines, which is the non-Georgian answer when the table wants a break from the classics.
For the wider list of nice rooms, the names that keep coming up are the ones with a reputation rather than a sign (best fine dining spots).
The mistake: ordering a starter each. Georgian food arrives in waves and the table fills itself. Order two starters, one main, and let the bread do the heavy lifting.
What is the best places for date in Tbilisi?
წისქვილი ტერასა • Tsiskvili Terrace (★ 4.8, 4,314 reviews) is a Georgian restaurant serving food in a new space, and a new space is the whole trick: it feels like an occasion without anyone having to say the word. Il Ghiottone (★ 4.8, 272 reviews) does Italian with fresh pizza and slow bites, which is the safe card when the other person has opinions about Georgian food and has not shared them yet.
Timing: dinner at eight thirty, walk after, and if the night is still going, the Old Town wine bars are the second act (romantic things to do).
What to wear: smart casual, and shoes you can walk in. Tbilisi streets are uneven and the evening ends on foot whether you planned it or not.
The mistake: five stops. Two is a date. Five is a tour, and tours do not get a second one.
Wanderin does the part nobody enjoys: you type your hotel or the spot you are standing at plus what you want, and the best and best-fitting places from Google Maps land in your feed, checked for price, reviews and distance. Ratings come from Google Maps, starting at 4.8 stars within 500 m and relaxing step by step, never below 4.3 stars or beyond 5 km, with at least 15 ratings. Cheap or best, closest, worth the trip. Free for now, sign in with Google, no password, no card. The same hours of research, one click instead.
If the date is a daytime one, the same shortcut works for the gym the next morning (cheap gyms in Tbilisi) or a sauna to recover in (saunas in Tbilisi).
Book the table. Walk the rest. Tbilisi rewards the pair who stay out one stop longer than they planned.

Questions people actually ask
What are some fancy restaurants in Tbilisi?
The rooms with a reputation rather than a sign are the ones that keep coming up (best fine dining spots). For a reservation-only Georgian table, AMÓS Restaurant (★ 4.9, 374 reviews) is the one where the booking is the door, not a suggestion.
When is the best time of year for a date in Tbilisi?
September and October, or May and early June, are the nicest stretches (things to do in Tbilisi). The evenings are warm enough to walk between stops, which is where most of a Tbilisi date actually happens.
What are the best romantic places in Tbilisi?
Narikala Fortress, the Bridge of Peace, Mtatsminda Amusement Park and the funicular are the ones that keep appearing on couples lists (things to do for couples). All of them are walkable into an evening that already has a table booked.
