This private walking food tour is an introduction to Armenia’s ancient and international kitchen. Following an expert storytelling guide, you’ll stop at 6 of the best eateries in Yerevan and try 6 carefully selected dishes that tell the story of the Armenian people. As you taste and walk, you’ll hear stories about each dish, and about Yerevan, country capital and cultural melting pot.
Why is bread broken by hand in Armenia, and never with a knife? Why is Armenian cheese so salty? How do you properly wrap cheese in a flat bread with wild greens, Armenia’s most popular snack? Find out on the Yerevan Gastrotrip, available in English, Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, and Armenian.
Please note that 1,000 AMD from your booking will be donated to the Jermik Ankyun Foundation.
