Armenian Restaurants in Kentron, Yerevan
Sixteen Armenian kitchens in the center — tourist-friendly taverns, bakery counters, and neighborhood spots.

Smaller venue (409 reviews, 4.8 stars), quieter side street off Abovyan. Homestyle cooking, slower pace, and you'll sit next to Yerevan residents rather than tour groups. Menu is shorter but the grilled trout and lentil soup are standouts.
