Where to Eat in Syunik Province: The Best Restaurants and Bars

December 13, 2017 Fernanda Pittenger

Syunik (Armenian: Սյունիք, Armenian pronunciation: [sjuˈnikʰ] ( listen)), is the southernmost province of Armenia. It is bordered by the Vayots Dzor Province from the north, Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic exclave from the west, the de facto independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic from the east, and Iran from the south. Its capital and largest city is the town of Kapan. The National Statistical Service of the Republic of Armenia (ARMSTAT) reported its population was 141,771 in the 2011 census, down from 152,684 at the 2001 census.

Restaurant BASEN

Reviewed By Fred L - Udon Thani, Thailand

Twice a group of us got one of the private rooms and really enjoyed the relaxed ambiance, the friendly service and the wholesome food. We ate mostly Armenian food (or what goes for Armenian in Armenia), which is usually best in private homes rather than restaurants, but I found Basen a pleasant exception to this rule. I liked the borscht in particular.

Arami Mot

Reviewed By Sahard89 - Tehran Province, Iran

We were 8 people ordered only main food. The lady served us with bread, cheese, pickle, vegetable, and cola but she didn't tell us about the extra price for that. The quality was very good. The problem was that she charged us for what we didn't ordered without letting us know that we should pay for it. The lady also charged us 2000dr for bread which is a part of main food! Her behaviour also changed to a not very good tempered woman at the time of paying the bill!

It is located beside the Wings of Tatever. It serves the traditional Armenian cuisines. The place is very beautiful, no doubt. It is surrounded with glass and you can see the beautiful nature of Tatev.
We tried the red bean salad, pickled vegetable salad, greens, cheese, Ishli Kofta and Trout fillet. The serving is too small and pricey. We only like the trout fillet (chicken with tomato sauce and rice). The rest of the dishes are average.
Try to check the menu carefully. If we only know that they have grilled meat, we should order directly from the restaurant because it's not mention in our tour menu. After our long drive from Yeravan, we are so hungry. The food didn't fill our stomach.

This place is just fantastic. Beautifully situated in the park with a large Terrace outside, spacious inside with large windows. Chairs are comfortable, music is nice and not overwhelming. Menu is full of choices and what I had sofar is very tasty. Service is very friendly. My #1 in Goris!

Reviewed By Brooklynite_Abroad - New York City

Come here an hour before your allotted Wings of Tatev gondola/rope-way time in order to use the clean facilities and to have lunch. The prices are high here, but the view of the valley is gorgeous. Too bad hordes of tourists will ruin your peaceful experience, but there's nothing that can be done about that. There is even a small souvenir/trinket shop here.

Takarik

Reviewed By Govert v

Well, the chicken was delightful, although it was with french fries instead of roast potatoes. The grilled vegetables were cold, which i blame on the current electricity blockage. The wine was good. Also the cake as a desert was very tasteful. Service was fine but to stay nr.1 on Tripadvisor it will take continuous effort to make your clients feel welcome (and not present the bill without it being requested ;-)

All the food we've ordered including "tolma" and barbecue was very tasty, compared to the best restaurants of Yerevan. Located on the way to Tatev it's a good place to have a lunch on the go , or diner on Your way back to Yerevan or Goris.

Saro's Restaurant in Tatev

Welcome to the family restaurant "Tatev". We are the closest restaurant to Tatev monastery. Delicious Armenian food and drinks with great view to the monastery. Open from morning till night. Free wi-fi and tourist office. We can give information and show the places of interest in Tatev.

Reviewed By ExoticWineTravel - Singapore, Singapore

There aren't many places to eat in this area so this restaurant is a convenient, almost-default choice. They have a menu in English and one staff speaks minimal English so non-Armenians will not have to worry about ordering food here. Service is pleasant and the people working at the restaurant are smiley. Come here if you'd like to have a slow lunch while enjoying the views of Tatev, but don't expect to be impressed by the food. Food is serviceable. We recommend the grilled potatoes and kebabs. Soups are pleasant. Skip the grilled beef and pork if you are intolerant about tough meat.
