Megerian Carpet Yerevan

Museum and restaurant

""Megerian Carpet" in Yerevan is heaven: it's a carpet museum, but the most unique thing is that it has a small restaurant in it with Armenian cuisine!"

Megerian Carpet is heaven for people who like culture-specific things. The place is a museum of old & new carpets where one can follow the whole process of the preparation of carpets from the coloring of the threads to the final product. I was given a tour where I heard extremely interesting stories about some of the carpets presented in the museum. I've also met people who make the hand-made carpets and they are precious!

The unique thing about this place is that there's a small restaurant located in the museum. The menu brings together dishes of authentic Armenian cuisine. Most importantly, they are prepared by a chef with a very unique food signature. The way the food is prepared and served is worth spending you time and money. The prices are also quite affordable.

Daboo Bar

Creative cocktails and good vibes

But Daboo isn’t just about cocktails. What I like most here is the atmosphere. It’s cozy, the music is always on point, and the crowd is a great mix.

Napoletana Armenia

An Italian corner on Saryan

In Napoletana Armenia I like to sit at the outdoor patio, eat slowly, and just watch people pass by — it’s a quiet front-row seat to Yerevan life.
