Artsakh

Super

There was nothing like that about 8 years ago, I even went there a couple of times from the city. The last time was 09/27/20, I ordered a lamb barbecue. The price tag is 500 rubles for 300gr. portion acceptable for the city, but a bit too much for a cafe on the highway. Ribs are brought in. I may not understand something in Armenian cuisine, but barbecue should be barbecue, and ribs is another dish. In short, in the best case, the meat yield from 300g. did not make it to half, the rest is bones and mutton fat. The meat is delicious, I won't say anything.

From the road you can see a small building, and inside there is a whole complex for rest, feasts and regular meals. In the open air, in the shade of trees, there are gazebos, fountains and a stream, very nice. The rooms are clean, the amenities are inside. The kitchen is very good, a huge minus for purchased, tasteless dumplings and a salad like "Caesar".

I didn’t like the owner himself, who was sitting at the entrance. Aggressively answered questions related to the order. He complained that he was so tired of all the questions from customers, although it was morning. Just when you come to rest, other people's problems are not interesting, there are enough of our own. While waiting for the gazebo, he came out after us and watched. When we sat down to eat, he sat down next to us and listened to our conversations. Although the cafe was empty and there was a lot of free space. An administrator is definitely needed, there is no need to save on this. Not mentally. I liked that jam and candied fruit went to tea. For Muslims, it is convenient to do ablution in the toilet (there is a kumgan). The kitchen is rated 4, no more.

I first came to Artsakh in the late 90s, a friend called me and said "you will like it". He did not cheat. :) It is always tasty, clean and not expensive here. And there is also a trick: you can eat not only in the hall, but also in the fresh air, in solid cozy gazebos. There would be more such reliable cafes on the track.
