Once you’re seated beneath the chandeliers, do look along the walls. The ornament is carved in the Armenian manner, and you’ll find the word “father” written in many languages. One wall holds barrels of Armenian brandy. Should you wish, a barrel can be yours, and we’ll keep it here for the evenings you come back to share it. Our musicians will play for you in the evenings, and as the kitchen is open to the room, you’re welcome to watch your dinner being made.

We suggest you begin with the sterlet kebab under a house-made apricot unagi glaze, or the kofta made with Sevan trout. To follow, the harissa, the slow-cooked wheat porridge Armenian families make for holidays, which we serve with duck. And do save room for our house signature, the cheese with truffle and pear.
