Best Time to Visit

The restaurant truly shines during dinner hours, particularly between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM, when the atmosphere is at its most enchanting. But honestly, I’ve found that weekday lunches offer a more relaxed experience with the same exceptional quality. For the best experience, try visiting during early evening hours on weekdays – you’ll get the full attention of the staff and a better chance of securing a preferred table. Weekend brunches are becoming increasingly popular, so morning visits between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM offer a unique perspective on Armenian breakfast culture.

How to Get There

The restaurant is easily accessible from central Moscow. Your best bet is taking the metro to either Borovitskaya or Biblioteka Imeni Lenina stations. From there, it’s a short walk through some of Moscow’s most historic streets. If you’re driving, there’s convenient valet parking available, though I’d recommend using ride-sharing services during peak hours to avoid parking hassles. The restaurant is also accessible by several bus routes that stop nearby.

Tips for Visiting

Making a reservation is absolutely essential, especially for dinner and weekend visits. I learned this the hard way when I tried to drop in spontaneously on a Friday evening! The dress code is smart casual – you won’t feel out of place in either business attire or stylish casual wear. Ask your server about the daily specials; they often feature seasonal ingredients that aren’t on the regular menu. If you’re a wine enthusiast, don’t hesitate to engage with the sommelier – they’re incredibly knowledgeable about Armenian wines and can suggest perfect pairings.

The restaurant accepts all major credit cards and mobile payments, making it convenient for international visitors. If you’re planning a special occasion, mention it during your reservation – the staff goes above and beyond to make celebrations memorable. And here’s a pro tip: save room for dessert. Their modern takes on traditional Armenian sweets are absolutely worth the extra calories!

For families visiting with children, the staff is accommodating and can provide high chairs and simplified menu options. The best tables for groups are in the main dining room, while couples might prefer the more intimate corner seating. During summer months, the outdoor seating area offers a lovely atmosphere for enjoying Moscow’s warmer evenings.

One thing I’ve noticed is that the portions are generous, so consider sharing plates if you want to try multiple dishes. The small plates menu is perfect for this family-style dining approach. And if you’re interested in Armenian wine, come early evening when the sommelier can spend more time explaining the unique characteristics of different regions and vintages.

Oh, and while the cocktail menu is impressive, don’t miss out on their coffee service – they serve some of the best Armenian coffee in Moscow, prepared in the traditional way. It’s the perfect way to end your meal or start your day if you’re visiting for breakfast.
