Food & Wine

Armenian food is one of the great underrated cuisines: smoky khorovats barbecue, dolma wrapped in vine leaves, paper-thin lavash baked in a tonir (and recognised by UNESCO), sweet gata, and a wine culture that goes back over six thousand years to the Areni-1 cave. This section is your guide to eating and drinking well in Armenia — the dishes to seek out and what they cost, where to taste Areni wine, the story behind ARARAT brandy, and honest notes for vegetarians. Come hungry and curious.
