The best restaurants South

This establishment is one of the many houses, even farms in the village of Tatev, which have been converted into a tourism still craft. A modest village house, with a rustic decor in rooms with basic but acceptable comfort, in line with the welcome of the owners who, like their colleagues, will be pleased to show you the sites to visit. The place is especially prized for its restaurant, where you can eat tasty local specialities, enjoying a superb view of the valley under a large veranda

Just before arriving at Eghegnadzor, a very pretty place, in the bucolic scenery of the banks of the Arpa river on one side, and a small artificial lake on the other, on which rustic rattan huts with roofs imitating the traditional Hazarachen structure are built. A guinguette atmosphere, with rabiz music on weekends, around appetizing and hearty dishes, which are not limited to khorovadz and kebab. An authentic folklore break, refreshing in summer, even if the strong currents of the Arpa do not invite you to swim.

On the way to Eghegnadzor, at the entrance of the road leading to the Noravank monastery, this restaurant serves typical Armenian cuisine (not only khorovadz!) prepared with local products and washed down with local wines. In a bucolic setting, especially on the terrace full of plants or in the comfortable lounges, you can also taste regional wines and enjoy a warm and pleasant atmosphere. If you prefer not to linger, the restaurant offers take-away.

Not necessarily rooted in local traditions, as the sign would suggest! But the masters of the place are attached to their good city of Stepanakert and want to share their love for it, in this restaurant in the centre, which passes for one of the trendiest places in the capital of Artsakh. A cosy place, with an original decor and a warm atmosphere, with concerts, where tasty snacks are served, possibly on the rooftop terrace, for those who are a little hungry, as well as a good more elaborate local cuisine

A very pleasant bar which also makes a restaurant in the centre of Stepanakert, which still has very few, except in this Toumanian street where these signs are concentrated. In a rather nice and colourful decoration, one can, after having tasted one of the many cocktails offered in the pretty patio with trees, sit down and taste very good local and less local specialities sprinkled with local and less local wines, whose menu is prodigious, in a warm atmosphere, often with music, and this until midnight or even later
