Armenian Tavern

Jerusalem


The atmosphere is enough to lure you to the Armenian Tavern. Step down into the Crusader-era building, and pearl-embossed mirrors glitter, iron chandeliers dangle and antiques impede the path to your table. Service isn't warm, but the house wines are drinkable, and the food is more than decent; try the khagoli derev (lamb mince in vine leaves, stewed in yoghurt).
