A small family cafe. Mother is cooking. My daughter serves visitors.
The food is homemade, delicious, but without enthusiasm. But the main disadvantage of the establishment is the long wait for an order, since everything is prepared by one person.
And here, as for me, the whole concept collapses. In my understanding, in a cafe with homemade food, this very food should be served quickly. Then it makes sense. I came in, had a quick snack and moved on. Why would I wait an hour for a delicious but quite ordinary cutlet and mashed potatoes? And this despite the fact that there were few visitors, as it was a weekday evening. I'm afraid to imagine how much you'll have to wait for an order on a weekend with a large number of visitors.
Well, there don't seem to be any questions about the food itself (the usual good homemade food), but when you go to this place, you should clearly understand that you will be waiting a long time. Whether it's worth it is up to everyone to decide for themselves.
A beautiful spiritual place.
The food is very tasty, cooked at home, with a soul. Thanks a lot to the hostess's mom!
There is homemade wine and homemade tinctures. The tinctures were strong for me, and I liked the wine.
The cozy friendly atmosphere is relaxing)
The cafe itself is small, with 4 tables. But very hospitable! And there is parking.
Everything was delicious and fresh. The staff is friendly. I ordered takeout food because I rented a room in a guest house nearby in Tatev. I recommend the place, I haven't been to any other catering establishments in Tatev.
Of the cons:
- not everything from the menu was available for ordering, as it was off-season
- there were no suitable containers for liquid dishes, which is why some of them spilled out
Huge +
Insanely delicious, everything that was ordered was excellent, delicious, no questions about home-cooked food, one woman cooked for 9 people and in 1.5 hours was able to cook a huge number of dishes that everyone liked.
- The waitress (probably the owner of this place) did not warn that it would take 1.5 hours to wait for food (they chose this place just to eat quickly, because there was a restaurant 40 minutes away where they really wanted to, but decided not to go to eat quickly and go to bed. As a result, we waited even longer than we would have gone to another restaurant. The service itself on the part of the waitress (owners) leaves much to be desired, the service is mixed, arrogant attitude, questions that need to be warned that you will have to wait so long. I started to say , what do you want, one person is cooking. He needs to make it. the attitude seemed arrogant. I stood waiting for 20 minutes) while she told other guests about her achievements and merits.(but what merits are we talking about if we couldn't cope with the task of the waiter at all) despite the delicious food, everyone left with the feeling that you were thoroughly deceived so that you would not go to another restaurant, so they also served us as if we were not paying money, but begging. The hand does not rise to put it below 3 * because Mom is a cook just on top, everything was insanely delicious. And in fact, it is normal in time (if you have the opportunity to wait and you are honestly told about it).
A great place: cozy at home and delicious in a restaurant. Prices are average in Armenia.
The hostess was very friendly and gave a delicious treat at parting.
IMHO: The best place in Tatev!
We really liked everything!
We ordered lamb hashlama, lamb pilaf, chicken pilaf, summer salad, cabbage salad and a bunch of different sweet pies.
The order was carried for a long time, but this only means that it was cooked for us, there is no fast food in a good restaurant, I think.
Everything was fresh, hot, without frills- but this is real homemade food! And the portions are large.
My husband even slept on the couch after the trip)
We left the car on the territory and went for a ride on the cable car, returned, and the hostess baked very tasty homemade cookies and served them to us!🙀
We visited in the summer. Waiting time is 2 hours. The grilled vegetables were already cold, the meat was very fatty, and there was almost no meat. For the first time in Armenia, I became disillusioned with cafes.
Thank you very much!! Very tasty food! Friendly and welcoming hosts!!!I especially liked the cognac that you make yourself and the kebab!! Good luck and many good customers to you!!!
Very friendly people. Although they laugh at our broken Armenian language.) French fries are just fire. Breakfast in the best Armenian traditions. The hotel is located near the river, the riverbank can be said to be right on the shore. Beautiful, cozy, delicious!
Large portions, everything is very tasty. A family cafe, everyone is very hospitable. We have to wait for the order, because there are usually a lot of visitors, and one woman cooks
A homely atmosphere, a wonderful view of the mountains, what could be better. I ordered a little salad and coffee, everything is fast and delicious, the price tag is very moderate✨
Very tasty wine, food. I recommend.
The cafe sells handmade crafts of local residents, souvenirs, liked it very much, bought a knitted doll for a child.
The order was waited for 2 hours. How can you spoil fresh lamb? Huge chunks of lamb are not fried. The cradles were delicious. The children were fed spaghetti.
