Yerevan

Located in a bucolic setting on the northern outskirts of Yerevan, this establishment of the local Tsirani chain offers, as always, a wide range of tasty Armenian culinary specialties, often accompanied by music. The typical interior space is tastefully furnished, but on fine days you can have lunch and dinner on the terrace which opens onto a large garden with a pond and fountain and a panoramic view. It is best to make a reservation, as the address is appreciated and coveted for weddings, banquets and other libations.

Among the many claimed "resort" locations created in the northern suburbs of Yerevan, this is one of the most impressive. An eclectic collection of buildings, with dungeons, canals, basins, water jets, waterfalls, statues and a swimming pool, scattered throughout a vast garden, this is the setting. It offers a wide range of kebabs and specialties from Armenia and elsewhere, washed down with Armenian and other wines in a typical (a) atmosphere, and activities, including horseback riding

Located in the immediate vicinity of the vast tree-lined esplanade of the Cascade, where the whole of Yerevan gathers in summer especially, to the right of the imposing statue of the Soviet urban planner Tamanian, this excellent restaurant offers in an elegant and bright setting, with large bay windows, original menus composed with Armenian specialties and other culinary horizons beautifully presented. Impeccable service, is friendly. The establishment offers a wine list, from the country and elsewhere, rather extensive which can 'weigh down the bill, but without excessive.

A complex like this has been built a lot on the outskirts of Yerevan, especially in the green area on the road to Tbilisi. The establishment, scattered in a park with ponds and swimming pool, has several buildings, nicely furnished, including a hotel, whose rooms are also tastefully decorated. Suitable for weddings and banquets, the vast dining room extends outdoors where Armenian specialties can be tasted under the trees

This newly created restaurant, an initiative of the local Tashir group, which has several shopping centres and a chain of Tashir pizzerias, is ideally located on the outskirts of Republic Square. It offers a wide range of Armenian and European specialties in a warm and relaxed atmosphere, and is popular for its khorovadz and grills, although vegetarians and other gluten-free lovers are not forgotten. The sign, which means "ladle" in Armenian, gives an idea of the hearty character of the dishes served by ladle.

As its sign indicates, this restaurant is located on the 11th floor of one of the buildings of a somewhat solemn neo-Armenian architecture of this avenue du Nord inaugurated in 2007, linking the Place de la République to the Place de l'Opéra. As with all the establishments on this new artery, which seeks to give character with shows and entertainment, prices are relatively high, but Armenian and international specialties are served in an elegant setting and rooftop, the main asset, gives them even more flavour

Anchored under the big Victory Bridge (Hakhtanaki Gamourdj), this boat (nav) cannot offer you a cruise, because of the draught, the Hrazan almost dry in summer, not being navigable... But you can also embark on a culinary and folklore cruise, which will take you on a journey through the flavours of Armenian cuisine to the sound of the folklore groups that sometimes perform there, even if the atmosphere in the gorge is not the same since the many guinguettes that settled there in the early 2000s have dropped anchor.

A typical restaurant along the thin stream of the Hrazdan, one of the survivors of the many guinguettes that were set up in the gorges at the beginning of the 2000s. A little overhanging, in a green setting, it offers a view of the site from its large terraces. But the cuisine, especially the brochettes, which the restaurant has made a speciality, along with other typical Armenian dishes on the menu, is not always in tune with the place, which is nicely furnished and decorated, and the staff, who are welcoming.
