Among the guests of our country Armenian traditional restaurants are the most popular ones, because Armenian cuisine is one of the oldest in the world. Given the geography and history of Armenia , Armenian cuisine is a representative of the cuisine of the Mediterranean and the Caucasus, with strong influences from Eastern Europe, the Middle East , and, to a lesser extent, from the Balkans. Each region of Armenia has its own unique recipes of cooking with its own special flavor. True to ancient traditions, Armenian cuisine today is more than just a cuisine.

It is a journey to the past, touch of something bygone.

But this touch is finger licking!

Armenia is also famous for its wine and brandy. The generous sun of the Ararat Valley , the fertile land and good water quality give the Armenian wines and brandy its extraordinary taste.
