The first meal I had when I arrived in Yerevan was Sherep, which was highly recommended by the hotel staff. This restaurant next to the Republic Square can be said to be one of the most popular restaurants in Yerevan. If you can make an appointment, try to make an appointment in advance, because just like the Internet celebrity restaurants in China, there will be queues. I arrived a little late, it was already past 8 o'clock, but there were still some people queuing at the door, and the restaurant was full. The waiter asked me if I was alone and asked if I minded a very noisy place. So I was arranged next to the performing band. It was the weekend, and there was a band performing in the restaurant. I don’t know if there are bands performing on weekdays. It can be said that the band’s performance was very good. It was my favorite jazz music, and the fat keyboard was very cute.
Sherep’s dishes are Western and local cuisines. The menu is in English and accompanied by pictures. One dish is enough for one person. I asked for calf mushrooms with green peppers, which is considered a more expensive dish here. The taste is ordinary and not as good as expected. But the pumpkin soup is very delicious and is also a dish they strongly recommend. You can ask them for different flavors of bread, both soft and hard.
The bill was 8500 drams, which is not considered a cheap restaurant in Yerevan. However, the dining environment is elegant, the taste is good, and the service staff are very friendly, so there are so many customers. If you come without a reservation, you may need to try your luck. Another thing is that you can smoke in restaurants in Armenia. At first, I was a little uncomfortable and wanted to report it. Later, I found that this was a common phenomenon and realized that their restaurant did not prohibit smoking.
