Fast food and home catering Armenia

The Armenian version, under its Lebanese name, is served here, Greek sandwiches or other kebabs, which have the advantage of being prepared here with meat of much better quality than in the many shops serving the same specialty that have proliferated in Yerevan, especially south of Republic Square. Spit-roasted beef, pork or lamb, which is served by the waiter, is very fresh, and the establishment can satisfy an overwhelming hunger in the best possible way, at any time of the day or night.

Mer Taghe means my neighborhood in Armenian. In other words, the place is local, in a lively neighbourhood not far from the Opera. With a small terrace next to the Tufenkian exhibition hall on Toumanian Street, it always attracts a large clientele, who come especially to enjoy the fine Armenian pizza with spicy minced meat, the lahmadjune, probably the tastiest in Yerevan, but other specialties on the go. The service is worthy of fast food and the interior decoration, which evokes rural Armenia, is original.

This sign is dedicated to the environment and fair trade. Both natural and organic are the key words that have convinced the local coils. In the aroma distilled by coffee, a subtle blend of various milled grains, soups, salads, sandwiches and other pastries are served with fresh products from the Armenian region. The concept has rained so much that another sign saw the day near the Cascade, 2 rue Tamanian.

As its name suggests, the establishment offers chaourma, or chavourma, the Armenian-Lebanese version of our Greek kebabs or sandwiches, but whose meat, of lamb or veal, on the spit, is of a much safer origin, in lavache or pita bread. But also lahmadjune, those pizzas that are said to be Turkish in France, khadaif type pastries, baklavas, to be eaten on the spot or on the terrace or to take away. An enjoyable gourmet break in a rather chic neighbourhood, on the edge of the Place de la République

If you are feeling a little peckish and nostalgic for good French bread, this establishment, as its name suggests, prides itself on offering French baguettes, breads and pastries, alongside other more local specialities, which can be enjoyed on site with tea, coffee and other drinks. Everything is presented nicely and neatly behind a display stand, and the place makes you want to stop there, a lounge area is provided for this, but you can just as easily leave with a sandwich or the baguette under your arm, as in Paris.

This lovely establishment is not a piano bar, as its sign would suggest. Situated on the outskirts of the centre of Gyumri, the Piano is renowned for its delicious Armenian and European-inspired prepared dishes and its selection of sweets and pastries, both Armenian and European, as well as ice cream. You can sit there for a gourmet break in a pleasant setting while enjoying the view of the old Gyumri, or take away the specialities on offer to continue your stroll through the city while eating out.

The Armenian group Tashir, which has entered the fast food business with its eponymous pizza chain, has also set up shop in Gyumri. Located in the historic centre of Gyumri, this Tashir chain pizzeria offers all kinds of pizzas and other fast food dishes at affordable prices, except for authentic Italian, to take away or to eat on the spot in the few chairs available in the establishment, with a modern decor, like all those of this chain, which is very successful in Armenia.

Created by the chef of the famous restaurant "Dolmama", this snack is ideal for discovering the famous basturma (dried beef) next to pastrami, and also the other product of the local delicatessen, the sujukh, a spicy sausage called here yeghchik, not to be confused with the homonymous candy. A cheap gourmet break, in a sandwich or tapas to peck with a good glass of wine on one of the few outdoor tables. A piece of advice: if you have an appointment, whether gallant or not, avoid basturma, whose spice leaves a persistent smell, especially in the heat of summer.

If you have a sudden craving for sushi and other makis, perhaps tired of khorovadz, it is now possible to find some and have them delivered to Yerevan, where Japanese take-away or eat-in Japanese cuisine has found many fans. This beautiful establishment, decorated in the Japanese style, is undoubtedly one of the best in the capital for its value for money; a profusion of sushi and other Japanese specialities served in the dining room or in the charming private lounges with parchment walls, or that can be taken away.
