Avan Dzoraget Restaurant

Northern Armenia


Few Armenian dining experiences are as pleasant as this one. Graze on your choice of an impressive array of salads and appetisers, many of which are vegetarian, or opt for a main dish such as locally caught rainbow trout. Seating is in an elegant indoor space or on the river-facing outdoor terrace. Service is friendly and efficient.
