Chalet

Top choice in Azerbaijan


At the top of the Yatmish Gozal cable car (L6), Chalet is not just a great place to sit amid the mountain scenery, but also serves the best-quality Western food in Qәbәlә, notably sizzlers and great pasta along with some exclusive imported steaks. Downstairs there's a rather hidden barrel-decor wine-bar.

Some weekends the restaurant stays open till 11pm, as does the ropeway to get you back down afterwards.
