Smoking Chef Yerevan

Protein fix

Alan from Yerevan

About me Originally from the USA, I hold a BA in Business Economics and History in addition to JD in Law. I am a lover of history, food, music, travel, and culture. Why Yerevan I love Yerevan because it is a quaint city, cultured, and overall very intimate. It is also the capital of my homeland. Cafes, sculptures, museums, and venues dot Yerevan's landscape, making the cit...

""Smoking Chef" is one of my favorite restaurants in Yerevan. Know what a josper grill is? I love Armenian BBQ, but sometimes you need a change of pace..."

One of my favorite restaurants in Yerevan, Smoking Chef offers some of the best-prepared meat dishes in the country. Don't get me wrong, Armenian BBQ is delicious and it is definitely recommended, but every now and then you need a change of pace. This is where Smoking Chef comes in. Smoking Chef is a great alternative for your protein fix. Most meats and veggies are prepared on a josper grill. At first, I didn't know what that meant. But the grilling equipment and technique makes a big difference! In regard to selection, Smoking Chef has it all:

Aged beef steaks. Check.

Tomahawk steak. Check.

Porkchops. Check.

Grilled Chicken. Check.

Amazing Beef Tacos. Check.

Other than meat, they also provide great vegetarian options. As a matter of fact, they have some of the best salads in town, not to mention the jospor grilled potatoes!

One thing worth noting is their elaborate dessert show. On birthdays, guests typically order a loud and spectacular Pavlova mess. So, when the music becomes loud, know what to expect!
