Ashot Erkat Restaurant

Lake Sevan


Located off the stairs leading to the monastery, this place has a huge dining hall with partially obscured lake views. You may need to share one of the long tables, as the restaurant is set up for the large tour groups that dominate its client base. The menu includes kebabs, grilled fish dishes (including ishkhan trout) and salads.
