\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093Start off with a breakfast of waffles or French toast at the ArtBridge Bookstore Caf\u0569\u0083\u0539..

After a morning of sightseeing, hit Khinkali for a lunch of traditional Georgian khinkali, large dumplings usually stuffed with ground beef and cilantro. In the afternoon, recharge with an iced coffee or relax with a glass of wine at Martini Royale, an airy, modern Italian caf\u0569\u0083\u0539. right on the square. Snag a table by the floor-to-ceiling windows and people watch. Close the day out at Dolmama. Inside, this warm-toned Pushkin Street restaurant looks like an old master painting, and the traditional eastern Armenian food is just as appealing. The focus is dolmas, meat and rice wrapped in grape leaves,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d says the magazine.
\nIt notes that Armenia is known for khorovats, meat grilled on a skewer, and the place to get the best khorovats in Yerevan is Proshyan Street. Barbecue Street, as it\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0084\u00a7s known, is lined with khorovats restaurants (try Urartu) and roadside grills.<\/p>\n
National Geographic recommend spending an afternoon – or more – in the neighborhood around the Cascade, a massive stairway that links the Yerevan city center to the Monument neighborhood.<\/p>\n
\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u056a\u0093At Charles, serving both European and Armenian dishes, an outdoor area makes it perfect for nice nights. Try the lamb confit. A few blocks south, Malocco Caf\u0569\u0083\u0539. is a cozy spot ideal for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Save room for dessert and head over to Cascade Chocolateria, a caf\u0569\u0083\u0539. and chocolate shop. Tuck in for chocolate fondue or nibble on an assortment of truffles and other sweets,\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0539\u009d reads the description.<\/p>\n
