About this restaurant

Welcome to Charles - the cafe and restaurant that is a fusion of Armenian and French cuisines and cultures. Charles is the name of not only the world famous Armenian singer, actor Charles Aznavour, but also many other quite famous French people. We are located at the bottom of Yerevan's most visited sightseeing spots, right in the center of the capital - the Cascade. Here you will find the wonderful and cozy atmosphere you are looking for, blended with exquisite service and quality food. If you are a wine lover, we can offer you a large variety of wines to choose from both from the old world and the new. We also have a variety of Armenian wines that you will be delighted to try, since Armenia is the historic world of winemaking. In our menu you can find both, old traditional Armenian dishes and European unique masterpieces of our Chef. It is our pleasure to mention that our kitchen staff undergoes trainings every 3 months conducted by world famous Chefs that come to visit our restaurant from various parts of Europe. Our one of its kind interior, the live music played in the evenings, high quality service and our welcoming staff will make you feel the Armenian hospitality at its best in every detail. We are glad to offer various lounges and halls in order to suit the needs of all our guests. There are halls for smokers as well as for non-smokers, a lounge bar where you can see Armenian famous paintings and a warm evening sitting room where there is a fireplace you can enjoy while taking your drink. You can even light the fireplace yourself and keep it going by putting more wood in it for the duration of your stay. All this is accompanied with the wonderful sounds of the violin, accordion and the amazing grand piano. In the summer time our outdoor cafe is the place to be. The location, the food and the service leave you wanted to stay longer than planned to enjoy the evening Yerevan and the atmosphere of our cafe.

“Located at a very touristic area, the restaurant is a bit pricey. The service is good and the food is good. It has an inner and outside area, from which one can see the world go by. The staff speaks English and they have English language menus. One choice among the several ones in the area. The outside tables are in shaded areas, so the heat or sun is not a problem during a warm day.”

“We came for dinner. The order was made clearly according to the menu (Aperol and eggplant salad). Even a finger on the menu showed us exactly what we wanted. In the end, dinner brought in a bill that was twice as big as it should be. Eggplant salad brought another, which is more expensive, instead of Aperol, brought Aperol a syringe. When they saw the prices didn't add up, they put the blame on us. It's our fault we underestimated that the salad is wrong and the cocktails are wrong. As customers, we don't have to know what your dish or drinks look like. The money was only returned for the aperol, but the salad was still our fault. If you wish to visit this restaurant, you should thoroughly know what the dishes LOOK LIKE, otherwise thousands of drams will be taken from you too.”

“Very bad service. They work till 24:00 but reject servece by 23:45. The waitress could not service in level that this caffe reached within the last 10 years. Very pafous waitresses will serve you when you need to order for example wine or coffee”

“Been to the place. Seems nice when you’re inside. However 0 respect towards the people living nearby. The loud music didn’t shut up untill 11:30pm (whereas the national law mandates to shut down all noise, including the music after 11pm). This was a huge no for us!”

“This restaurant sits among a long row of restaurants. There are plenty on both sides of the street. I picked this one because it was 2 PM and I could read the menu. I can simply say the food is overpriced and the service was slow. At least my server could speak English.”

“Stopped in for a bite to eat before the tour. The tables on the street were all occupied. We were offered inside the restaurant, then they set us up and reserved a table outside, but we chose the hall. We asked the staff if the soup and dessert would be ready quickly. They said 15 minutes, which suited us. Within 15-20 minutes the dishes were served. They also calculated quickly. Then they took us to the courtyard where a taxi could pull up. So I give the staff an A for service. I deducted points for dishes. The pumpkin puree soup is watery, and the bean soup with mussels is also no good. Typically, such soups are served with croutons or buns. Only one portion was served. For desserts, I ordered mille-feuille; I have no complaints about it.”

“A nightmare... let me start with the fact that the table was dirty - they asked me to wipe the table. While they were wiping it off, I raised the gata to make it more convenient for the waiter. Gata slipped off the plate, fell on the floor, and they brought another one. As a result, they first counted without the second gata, and when they paid, the waiter left to get a new check with the words “We forgot to add another gata to the bill.” As a result, they paid for the one that fell (although I didn’t even touch it). A very unpleasant aftertaste from the cafe! The service is 0, but the gata is delicious)”

“Not good at all the food was too expensive and the service was poor. They brought an advertiser with one of the main dishes and they just said sorry and laugh together. The waitre doesn’t speak English and i don’t recommend the restaurant at all after we wanted to leave they brought a dessert on house but we didn’t have time to eat .”
