I had the pleasure of visiting the charming hotel and restaurant on the shores of Lake Sevan in Armenia, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. The picturesque setting is a feast for the eyes, and the warm and inviting ambiance makes it the perfect retreat.
The highlight of my experience was the delectable traditional Armenian cuisine served at the restaurant. Each dish was a delightful journey into the rich flavors of this region, leaving my taste buds in awe. From succulent kebabs to mouthwatering dolma, every bite was a delightful revelation.
The rooms at this establishment are incredibly spacious and comfortable, providing a perfect haven to relax and rejuvenate after a day of exploring the beautiful surroundings. Waking up to the breathtaking view of Lake Sevan right from my window was an unforgettable experience.
The staff's hospitality and attention to detail were remarkable, ensuring that my stay was nothing short of extraordinary. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, this place is a hidden gem that I can't recommend enough. I can't wait to return and savor those delectable flavors once more while basking in the serene beauty of Lake Sevan.
A beautiful and cozy place with good cuisine, clean coast / beach, little greenery, shade trees (especially felt in summer), prices are above average, clearly aimed at tourists, but locals also go, better than most similar lakeside places, close to the Yerevan-Sevan highway, there is a place for development.
It is worth coming here after a walk around Sevan to eat fried whitefish, trout, crab kebab with a beautiful view, intricate interior and equipped mini-beaches.
Everything we tried was very tasty. A separate discovery is a kebab made of crayfish, this is an opportunity to enjoy this delicacy without cutting and torment.
The prices are average, the service is a little slow, but there is no need to hurry in such places. This is the place for a substantial lunch or dinner.
Ohhhhh. This is for visual and gastronomic fans. The combination of the flavors of Armenian cuisine with the fantastic views of Lake Sevan is a delight. One of the best places on earth. Everything you order will be delicious. 100% I will come back here.
A wonderful place on the picturesque shore of Lake Sevan.
I am writing a review while eating sorrel soup with lentils... An unusual taste reminiscent of mushroom??
Delicious pickles, whitefish on the grill and waiting for trout on the rocks... Uhhh and sea buckthorn vodka...
pleasantly surprised.
Cancerous necks shish kebab ...
that mouth on the contrary as they say here.
We visited this restaurant in October 2024, stayed in a guest house with it. I didn't like the restaurant at all.
On the day of arrival, we came to have lunch and sat on the veranda. My husband ordered hash, and I ordered borscht. Our order was accepted, but after 10 minutes the waiters came and asked us to move to a separate gazebo, because hash can not be eaten on this veranda. We moved.
The table was not cleaned in the gazebo, we waited for the waiter for another 10 minutes so that he would check our order again. We were from the road and very tired, so we ordered soups, their serving in restaurants is usually the fastest.
But not in the case of these establishments, because only 15 minutes later the waiter came to us again to say that there was no borscht today. With grief, they brought us hash and some soup from the local cuisine, it turned out to be too salty and spicy, which I was not warned about.
I shared our impressions about this restaurant with the manager, but he did nothing but apologize.
Breakfast is also provided in this restaurant if you stay in a guest house. I didn't like the breakfasts either, because no vegetables at all succumbed to them, although I asked the waiters about it, the dishes are monotonous, in a word, I don't recommend breakfasts either.
My separate request is to ask the waiters to bring their hands in order, dirty nails do not contribute to appetite.
Honestly, I really wanted to get to this place. But the disappointment is complete. It seemed like it was a weekday and the tables were half empty. But the waiters couldn't cope at all. Everything was carried for a very long time. We ordered ice cream, waited a long time, and went to find out. It turned out that it was not available. We waited 40 minutes for the receipt, asked to bring it several times (we ate for an hour, carried the receipt for 40 minutes!!!).
For food, we ordered whitefish on the grill (it was wonderful), soup with horse shawl (delicious, but warm), summer salad (absolutely tasteless). We will not return 100%
My husband said to put 1, I put 2 for the whitefish. I did not see cordiality in the face of the restaurant staff, I saw confusion and ignorance of the menu.
We rested at the hotel here, went to this restaurant for breakfast. The breakfasts are not bad, the interior is interesting, the staff is polite. We also ordered soups, but we didn't really like them, we waited a long time for the order.
The location, the beach and the institution itself are very interesting, but ...
for the umpteenth time, visiting this restaurant, you have to wait 15-20 minutes for the waiter ...
The table was so sticky and dirty that there are simply no words. When asked to wipe, they walked with some kind of no less greasy cloth in different corners, which is why nothing has changed ...
The food is extremely tasteless... All the chairs could barely stand on their legs. Shattered and killed...
please, you have a huge passability at the expense of tourists. Refresh yourself. It's high time to do this.
Pros:
- cozy place, nice view from the window
- most of the food is delicious
We took kebabs, kebabs, assorted Armenian cheeses, tomato and cucumber salad, lemonade and baklava. Everything was delicious except the barbecue. He had bones and chewed badly.
Minuses:
- they're cheating
They brought us a check with the total amount without dividing it into dishes. After reading the reviews, we decided to recalculate the amount ourselves. It didn't add up. The waitress was called. She confessed, with a dissatisfied look, that she had brought the difference.
In short, although it is cozy and delicious here, I would not recommend this place because of the attitude towards the guests. I understand that I want to earn more. But the deception strategy frustrates me.
Delicious national food, reasonable prices and a wide selection of dishes. The well-groomed territory is especially beautiful in summer))) beautiful views of the lagoon. The disadvantages are the relaxed and slow waiters. It is better to book seats in advance, in summer all tables are occupied
I don't recommend this place to anyone, you can't book a table in advance like we don't do that, you just get put where you can, it's half the trouble, the prices are just space! I didn't even close such accounts in the cheapest but rather decent restaurants in Yerevan, and there we were five of us, they took and drank a lot more, but here they didn't really take anything, three of us were well, for example, they ordered a lot more when they were sitting at Seven, I really paid at the entrance to Sevan exactly half of what was here, plus a couple of onions and greens on the meat, even this is not enough lavash, In a word, bypass this institution, I do not recommend it! 👎
A nice and beautiful restaurant!!
Interesting cuisine !!
A picturesque place !!!
Crayfish cradles fire

It was the first time in Armenia and we decided to go to Lake Sevan. The lake is large, clean and transparent, they say it is cold, but near the shore there is pleasant water for the feet. Very tasty food at a local restaurant: crab neck kebab is something magical to taste!, whitefish, trout, and many more different things. Special thanks for the local ice cream! Magic! Mint with lime and raspberry! It would be possible, if they knew, to start with ice cream and Armenian coffee!!!
The situation is quite modest, sandy beaches and several sunbeds. But, a chic kitchen and pleasant communication with the staff levels everything up.
I really liked the restaurant! Great view, very tasty cuisine (we tried shish kebab from whitefish and delicious veal lula), good and fast service! The cost was pleasantly surprised)
There used to be a wonderful restaurant. Now a large flow of tourists leads to not always delicious food and ask the cook not to salt so much! The only dish he didn't add a lot of salt to was coffee!
It's very atmospheric. I didn't take into account that the high-altitude place is why I froze in September) In general, I recommend it, it's worth a visit for sure
We stopped for dinner after a walk by the lake.
The restaurant is wonderful. It's beautiful, cozy, and has a great view.
Amazing service - the friendliest waiter we have met in Armenia. Everyone liked the food, even the wine was poured into a coffee cup :)
I am surprised by the reviews, the waiters run back and forth, polite and friendly!We ordered food in advance by phone. When we arrived, everything was ready! The ear is incomparable, delicious that there is nothing left for the photo))
The shish kebab from whitefish is not dry and not overcooked.
I liked the homemade dry red wine very much, the white one is sweet, for an amateur.
We are very happy with our family, even with sea buckthorn juice, which we don't eat in rush, in principle👍
By the way, coffee with milk is in the photo! ))) hot milk ❤
There are a lot of people. It's delicious at home. And as King Solomon said, "a man should eat and drink and enjoy his work. It's a gift from God." Coming to dinner at this restaurant, we fully felt the correctness of these words. We thought of running to a shop in the village, but in the end we ate here and did not regret it. There are many Armenian dishes on the menu at pleasant prices. It's the best thing for tourists. If you live in a hotel, you can take it with you.
The most pleasant impressions remained from this place. Let's come back here again...
This is an incredibly beautiful and very comfortable place, with its own beach and kitchen. And the rooms are just awesome. In the ancient Greek style 😍😍

It's a great place. Everything is delicious and very clean. I advise you to try it who hasn't tried it. There is a beach where you can relax before getting ready 😊😊😊😊
We wanted to celebrate a birthday, called in advance and booked a table, agreed on a festive dessert, confirmed everything, asked for half an hour to call again to warn when we would arrive. They called.
As a result:
1. two dishes from the order were not brought
2. they tried to cheat, two bottles of wine were included in the bill instead of one. And they couldn't even change the account
3. There was no dessert or at least congratulations in words, they tried to remind about it and ask the waiters - zero understanding and did not achieve anything
As a result, the holiday is ruined.
Sevan, trout, rest, a gorgeous place. There's a lot to say. But I think it will be superfluous. It's just a great place. The cuisine in the restaurant is very tasty, the portions are large, you eat to the brim. Thank you all for the great evenings.
maybe they cook well. but the waiter behaved abominably. the maintenance staff has no right to behave this way. I got angry so they left at the final stage of the order
We wanted to go to the famous u Semo, but the guide had a different route, and we were assured that it was beautiful here. An ordinary place, a restaurant on the shore, served quickly, the food is very ordinary, we tried a crayfish cradle (if I didn't know what, I would have thought it was chicken)- well, the trout is dry, for some reason not whole fish, but some kind of pieces and I had a feeling that there was half a fish)))), well, really little ... in general, we tried it, it's good that we didn't order a huge lunch, but purely for tasting. The result for 2 people: 1 beer, 1 tea, 2 crayfish, 1 trout- 23650 drams about 5000r honestly it's not worth it
We were in April 2024! I really liked the restaurant. A very tasty whitefish kebab!! We recommend:) the greens, the salad, the decor - everything is great!!

The worst trip to an institution in my entire life. At first, when we ordered, the waiter yelled that we should start the order with snacks, not hot. I should have left at that point, of course, but we decided to give it a second chance. The first dish that arrived was dessert with ice cream. I had to wait an hour and a half for the hot one. Half of the order was missing, and we found out about it an hour later. Two potatoes ordered by two people were served on the same platter as a side dish to the lula. No one said that it was two servings. The waiter spilled our tea, did not apologize, although what apologies, he did not even wipe the puddle off the table. The food is three-fold, something is acceptable, something could not finish. Lavash, however, did not disappoint)) While we were sitting, two pairs of guests left without waiting, and they did the right thing. 0/10
We are delighted with this restaurant, I definitely recommend it 👍🏼 all the dishes are delicious, excellent service, large portions 😍 the view of the lake is unforgettable
The food is delicious, the portions are huge, I liked everything , thank you

Having entered this place, I liked the atmosphere, the menu was brought quickly. The impression began to deteriorate as soon as the waiter came up to us to take the order. Rudely pointed out to us that we were listing the dishes we wanted to order in the wrong order. You see, you need to order according to the menu: starting with appetizers, ending with dessert. Later, we regretted that we didn't leave immediately after that. There were serving dishes on the table. The plates were dusty.
As a result, we ordered pate, 2 soups, 2 kebabs, hot dishes, potatoes, dessert and tea.
After 40 minutes, the first thing they brought us was pate and dessert (which contains ice cream).
After another 10 minutes, we were told that the barbecue we ordered was out of stock. And this is after 50 minutes of waiting.
Tea was brought to us 1.5 hours later, when the ice cream in the dessert had all melted (although it was generally not a good order to bring dessert before the hot one) after we had asked about it 5 times. The hot dishes arrived with tea about 1.5 hours after our arrival.
The pate tastes sour. Either spoiled or with the addition of fermented dairy products. They didn't eat it.
In general, the food is average, the service and the time are terrible.
Bloggers from Russia went there "thanks" (she told me about the restaurant interestingly). I put a three for the sake of Lake Sevan, well, the view is good from the window (not very clean). The food is so-so, not tasty, the interior of the cafe reminded the dining room, the prices are also not very low. The territory is good
Everything is very tasty.!Attentive staff. Beautiful view of Sevan. Comfortably. Very mentally.
The price tag is average .
The location of the restaurant is Lavash Hotel.
The service is zero. It's +13 outside, strong wind. We were thinking of going to this restaurant for a snack. The place seemed beautiful. We went to the reception and asked if there were places in the restaurant. The receptionist said that you can ask around yourself.
Okay We went into the first room - there were a lot of people, the waiters were obviously busy, but no one even really answered questions. You have to catch a person and explicitly ask - is there a place? Usually the answer is no, you can look in another room. Okay, we go to another room, we try to catch another waiter - he says "let's see now" - he looks at something on the computer and then completely ignores us, as if we don't exist. And so on several times.
It is not clear what was difficult to work out at least at the minimum:
- to say, "we have a full landing now, sorry," and that's it. There would be no questions
- look at the available seats on the computer, say something in the form of "sorry, full boarding, wait 20 minutes and you will have a place" - but it was not worked out in any way here either. Completely ignored. And this despite the fact that it was cold outside and we would like to find some shelter or get back into the car, we just lost time.
I don't recommend it to anyone.
They recommended this place to us, they came from far away with children,I was disappointed, the service was at zero, the waiters had to be caught to make an order, 2-3 waiters for the whole establishment, ordered French fries for the children as a result they brought fried potatoes,Caesar salad disgusting meat cold frozen feeling it was cooked in the evening, mayonnaise horror crackers as from the package (3 crusts).The head needs to pay attention to the staff, service, you will not be satisfied with one view of Sevan.

The food is good, but the cradles were too salty. The service was very long, there were not many people, but the order was waited for almost an hour. The price tag is rather big. I would put 3, but the situation is saved by a free beach with sun beds and excellent views.
