On a quiet Mar Mikhaël corner, this sweet family-run spot offers cuisine true to this traditional Armenian area. There's a cute little plant-shaded terrace out front, and a attractive vintage chic interior. The food is authentic, unpretentious and very tasty. The coriander-marinated fish is excellent, while the sheep-foot soup will appeal to nose-to-tailers.
