Food… Lots of Food.

Food... Lots of Food.

16 May, 2022

I’m genuinely surprised Armenia does not have a Michelin Star restaurant. The food is good, the ambiance is good, and the prices are even better.

I’ve tried plenty of restaurants, and I am so excited for all the fun, exciting options popping up in the spring and summer. I’ll continuously update this post.

I’ve created an accumulative list of Restaurants in Armenia and recommendations so you can enjoy the best food in Yerevan.

Let’s begin!

Los Pueblos

  • My Notes: Pricey, but good. There isn’t much of a development in Hispanic cuisine here; therefore, the splurge is worth it if the cravings are strong –an interesting mix of Mexican, Brazilian, Spanish and Argentinian food.

Indian Mehak

  • My Notes: Quite literally one of my favorite restaurants. It can be a bit pricy, but genuinely the food is so good. If you like Indian or want a change of pace while in Armenia, I absolutely recommend this place. The service is so lovely, and you must try their samosas; they’re so large it’s perfect.

Rehan

  • My Notes: A group favorite. I love sitting on their patio on a nice day and a drinking glass of wine. You can’t go wrong with the menu, especially not with the dessert — ashta is the best flavor known to man, but their vanilla isn’t lacking either.

Katsin

  • My Notes: Fun fact, nearly every restaurant in Armenia has sushi on the menu regardless of the theme. Anywho, Katsin is the place to be. If you’re American, this place will pale compared to AYCE with 50 roll varieties. However, if you’re in a sushi feel, this is a place you should try.

Mante

  • My Notes: I love this restaurant; their fatoush is so good, but so is their hummus and, most importantly, their Mante. I love how they have various options, and I just love the crunchy meat filled dough smothered in the tomato sauce and yogurt.

Black Angus

  • My Notes: So far, this is the only place in Armenia where I’ll eat a burger. Funny enough, Armenians eat burgers with gloves, but it’s not funny how unsatisfying most of them are in comparison to this place. Even if I were in America, I would consider going here. Their onion rings also deserve an honorable mention.

Wine Republic

  • My Notes: This place is so good. It is also combined with a Thai restaurant, and honestly, all of the food on the menu is good. This was my favorite restaurant that I stumbled upon when I came to Armenia in 2018; now, in 2022, it stays up there.

Aperitivo

  • My Notes: This might be everyone’s top 5 restaurants. It’s popular, the food is good, and the service is friendly. Their menu has a great variety, and for the location and the quality, the price is on brand. I highly recommend their Red Chicken.

Verona Complex

  • My Notes: I probably wouldn’t have ever tried this place, but it’s right across the street from my house, so I stumbled into it. The food is genuinely so good and compared to some of the other locations with the same quality experience, and it has a better price. I enjoyed their pasta and their chicken dishes next time. I absolutely want to taste their chicken wings since I haven’t had an opportunity yet.

Tumanyan Khinkali

  • My Notes: Well, Khinkali is just one of the best foods ever; it should be its own food group. I love the fact that they have the fried and boiled version. I also love how they have so many filling options; it’s nearly impossible to try every variation in one.

Honorable Mentions:

Food is the ingredient that binds us together.
