One of the best ways to connect with a country’s heritage is through its kitchen. Armenian traditional food is a delicious reflection of ancient history, relying on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, aromatic herbs, and centuries-old cooking techniques.
Must-Try Dishes in Yerevan
When exploring the best restaurants in Yerevan, make sure to order Khorovats (the famous Armenian barbecue grilled over open fire) and Ghapama (a festive stuffed pumpkin dish). Don’t miss out on tasting fresh Lavash—the traditional flatbread baked inside underground clay ovens (tonirs), a process so unique it is recognized by UNESCO.
World-Class Armenia Wine Tours
Armenia is home to the world’s oldest known winery, discovered in the Areni-1 cave, dating back over 6,000 years.
