Restaurants cuisine du monde Gyumri

An address known to gourmets, but one that you have to take the trouble to find, at the extreme north-west of Gyumri, next to the Olympic College, at the foot of the Red Fort, a small round fort on a hill, away from the centre. All sorts of specialities are served there, but especially fish, which is served from afar in this establishment called the Col des Circassiens because it is said to have served the soldiers of a regiment in Circassian (Cherkesses) dress.

This bistrot-taverne, which also claims to be a "beer house", is located in the heart of the historic district, in a beautiful house combining, as is often the case in the city, black and red tufa. It offers snack-style dishes, mainly Armenian specialities, but served copiously with sympathy and warmth. The atmosphere is in keeping with the most popular beer bar in Gyumri, which is, it should be noted, the Armenian beer capital.

Behind a curious black and orange stone facade of a building located in the centre of Gyumri, a large and bright room with a sober decor offers an Armenian and international cuisine. Suitable for small appetites, as the portions are not Armenian style. So no khorovadz debauchery, but beautifully presented, carefully and hygienically presented dishes, including hamburgers and other more international dishes. The establishment also offers a wide selection of sweets and pastries, both Armenian and European.
