Mama Jan Yerevan
Homey and creative food
Sofia from Yerevan
Mama Jan is an intercultural space with food for body and soul. Here Crimean, Mediterranean and other cultures meet in food fusion, just as the background and experiences of its founder and the main Mama - Julia. One can find delicious food, but also plenty of creative drinks, alcohol and non-alcohol cocktails, elixirs, etc.
On some days, there are also cultural events with discussions of books, live music, spiritual events, etc.
The menu is in transformation, and yet strawberry lassi is one thing I have tried and kept in my mind for its amazing taste.
The coziness of this space also allows for holding personal events. In a sentence, if you're looking for a place to relax, but also get some inspiration, Mama Jan is the right corner for you. Make sure you don't miss it :)

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.

Eating homey
Cozy Yerevan spot with homemade-style food, great veggie options, and a vintage shop at the entrance. Don’t miss the pumpkin soup, it’s my favorite.

Jengyalov Hac
Jungle bread
On Teryan St, Jengyalov Hac serves this Artsakh specialty: flatbread stuffed with wild greens. Hearty, healthy, and best with matsnaprtosh or tan.
