Davit from Yerevan

I have a mixed background in data science, event management, and sports analytics. But besides the mixed portfolio of professions, I have a passion for traveling abroad and within my country. After travelling to different countries, I've developed a stronger appreciation for my city, especially the small and overlooked details of it. Why Yerevan What I love about Yerevan the mos...

Kamancha Restaurant Yerevan

A taste of tradition

"Cozy Armenian spot in Yerevan with both traditional and modern dishes. Famous for its fun social media that will make you hungry before you even visit."

Kamancha is a cozy Armenian restaurant located on the peaceful Koghbatsi Street in the heart of Yerevan. Known for its traditional Armenian dishes, Kamancha also offers some modern takes on classic recipes.

What really sets Kamancha apart for me, besides the food and atmosphere, is their unique social media. The restaurant’s owner frequently appears in their posts, often trying dishes either alone or with guests. Even if you don’t understand Armenian, the way he describes and enjoys the food is so attractive, it will have you craving a bite. The way they showcase the dishes makes it impossible not to feel hungry, even if you’re already full.

Before visiting, I recommend checking out their social media for a glimpse of their menu and to get ideas on what to order. It’s a fun way to get a sneak peek into the restaurant’s vibe and what’s on offer.


Tip: Be sure to reserve a table in advance, especially on busy nights — their videos have made Kamancha quite popular! :)

Noy Wine Factory

Good wine, brandy and vodka

Noy Wine Factory Yerevan has tastings — it's where I had the best brandy and wine I ever tasted. What's more: it's built next to a 16th century fortress.
