The best wine bars Yerevan

Armenia prides itself on being the country of wine, but a few years ago wine bars were still rare, if not non-existent, as "gognak" or brandy had a monopoly on Armenian spirits. In Vino opened the way in 2013, with a rich cellar of 600 wines from different countries, with France at the forefront and Armenia of course not forgotten. They can be tasted here, accompanied by Italian delicatessen and French cheeses, in a neutral décor and furnishings reminiscent of Parisian bistros

Behind a beautiful pink facade hemmed with grey stones on the prestigious Abovian Street, a large barrel at the entrance of the establishment announces the colour. Although it is not located in the area of the wine bars, on the side of the Opera Square and Sarian Street, Mamoor has a rich wine cellar, which you can taste before you sit down to dinner. The speciality menu is on a par with the wine list, and a little less salty. Beautifully presented dishes and cocktails can be enjoyed on the terrace.

Opened relatively recently, this establishment is certainly not located in the rue Sarian, the artery of the capital dedicated to wine bars, but nevertheless offers very good Armenian wines, especially Armenian, but also other grape varieties, including French. They can be tasted for the simple pleasure - no doubt new to you - of tasting Armenian wines, or accompanied by a simple platter of local or more western delicatessen meats, or served at the table to accompany the menu of Armenian and European specialties served there.

One of the many wine bars that settled on Sarian Street. You can enjoy very good wines in an authentic and intimate décor, between parquet floors and wooded paneling. A large balcony awaits guests who can also taste Armenian and other culinary specialties served in the Tapastan restaurant to accompany their wine.
