Art Lunch (Kentron)

Art Lunch operates as a buffet on Nalbandyan Street in Kentron, the kind of place where you take a tray, move along a counter of hot dishes, and pay at the end. The spread runs wide: soups like borscht with beef (770֏), solyanka (870֏), spas (470֏) and lentil soup (470֏); salads from beet and walnut (290֏) to Thai chicken (810֏); and Armenian and Georgian staples — khachapuri (340֏), Adjarian khachapuri (730-1030֏), grape leaves dolma (170֏), gata (170֏), lavash (50֏) and matnakash (30֏). Mains cover boiled chicken or beef, pork languet and pork steak, julienne, grilled vegetables and an omelette with green peas, priced 650-1300֏. Side dishes include rice, mashed potatoes, buckwheat and arishta (Armenian homestyle pasta). For something quicker, there are mini pizzas (780-940֏), Neapolitan pizzas (2900-4100֏), lahmacun (450֏), sandwiches on ciabatta (950-1090֏) and hot dogs (230֏). Breakfast items like croissants with ham or piquant filling (850-950֏) sit alongside buns, cookies and desserts — tiramisu, bird's milk cake, honey cake and Mikado cake, all under 1000֏. Combo trays (850-1550֏) bundle a few of these together for a set price. Drinks stay simple: bottled water, flavored Vitamina water, Coca-Cola and fresh orange juice (1300֏). At an average check around 9500֏, it suits people who want to build their own plate quickly — travelers on a schedule, office workers, or anyone who wants khachapuri one day and pizza the next.
