Yerevan
I actually think that Armenian food is one of the most underrated cuisines in the world and it needs to be a priority on your Yerevan itinerary. Georgia has received a lot of accolades for its cuisine, and rightfully so, but Armenia kind of hides in the shadows of its northern neighbor.
Armenians have a knack for using seasonal produce (I shouldn’t even have to acknowledge this as a compliment because this is what we should be doing in other parts of the world, too) and the flavors and tastes are enhanced and intensified as a result.
Have a Coffee or Local Food at a Sidewalk Cafe
I constantly tell people about it and rave on about how I could work from an outdoor cafe in the middle of a park in spring while back in Norway my garden was under around two feet of snow.
When my friends eventually travel to Yerevan, they almost always write to me within the first few days to tell me that they haven’t seen as many sidewalk cafes anywhere else in the world.
It seems as though I have a pattern of ending up in Yerevan in April and not all are open, but I almost always get to watch them being set up and by the end of my time in the city, they are open and ready for business.
There are many things to do when sightseeing in Yerevan but definitely make sure you stop and enjoy a cafe for an hour or two.
