Yerevan, Armenia: FREE Foodie's Guide

Yerevan, Armenia: FREE Foodie's Guide

The Saleebs
First, we eat. Then, we can do everything else. But no really, when travelling, you do not want to waste much time ๐Ÿ”searching for good places to eat. You'd rather save up the searching for what to do, ๐Ÿ›where to stay and so on. โœ”๏ธWe got you covered! In Yerevan, you find all cuisines which is amazing (such a diverse city, huh?) You will also find the budget range per restaurant. ๐Ÿ‘€Why trust our taste? WELL, #1: we travelled there visiting an ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒArmenian friend (who took us to the yummiest places) and #2: Mario's sister (Claudia) is an actual ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณCHEF (we trust the chef's judgement, don't we?) Happy eating! If you found this guide valuable, you can always leave a tip or a comment. Get to see more from our travels on Instagram (@capturethisearth)โœจ๏ธ

We are Nardine (architect & #1) and Mario (real estate agent & #2)! Nardine ENJOYS planning the trip as much as travelling (Mario's dreaded phase). Her vacation starts from the day she starts planning... TOO many details for Mario. We are Egyptians (currently) living in ๐Ÿ“Egypt. Nardine lived 18 years in ๐Ÿ“Kuwait and Mario lived in ๐Ÿ“Saudi Arabia. ๐ŸŒŽ We haven't been everywhere but it is on our list! โœ”๏ธ26 countries down, 169 more to go: ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡พ ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒ ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฌ ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ญ ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฐ ๐Ÿ“‹We are sharing itineraries we have created for ourselves, families, friends, and travel groups.
