Twelve Tables — Restaurant in Yerevan

Accessed via a nick-nacks shop, in a basement on a back street, this cafe is almost a secret from tourists.

The broccoli and banana salad, with crispy lettuce and flavoursome orange (which added a refreshing burst of citrus), was intriguing. Texturally, the crunch of the raw broccoli provided a good contrast to the other elements.

Sadly, it was marginally let down by the blue cheese, which tasted like a poor Roquefort imitation—almost plasticy in taste and a little too firm and missing that smooth, creamy quality that a good blue cheese should have.

Overall, this salad was an enjoyable mix of unexpected flavours and textures, though it would have been even better with a more refined blue cheese.

The dark turquoise walls, books, pretty mix of light shades, distressed painted floor, and chairs afford warmth and homeliness. Coins glued as floor tiling in the washroom and lavatory was a quirky touch.

The menu, handwritten in floral-covered exercise books, was a lovely idea, which felt almost school-like, in a good way.

We could have sat here for hours as it was so relaxing.

The best place in Yerevan! ❤

This is possibly the most eco-friendly food spot in the city, if not the only one. They avoid plastic, opting for reusable metal straws, serving water and drinks in glasses. They also procure ingredients in glass cans or reusable bags and collaborate with recycling companies. You can find reusable straws and bags at the entrance (the shop section).

*Don’t leave any food waste; Nune will pack it for takeaway.

The staff is incredibly warm and friendly. Their kindness, smiles, and meaningful conversations reflect the love they put into their work—something rare to find in many places. #NuneRocks

The design is uniquely charming, and the overall ambiance is cozy.

The dishes are not only delicious but mostly healthy. Homemade lemonades are a delightful treat. They offer vegan options, with the raw vegan chocolate cake being a fantastic choice. They were also the first cafe in Yerevan to include vegan desserts on the menu.

Prices...

I've been to this place several times already and like it a lot. It's quite affordable and cozy, and has a great location. However, there are a few things that undermine my overall impression: The tables are close to each other, so you basically can hear others' conversations and they can hear yours, You can pay either with cash or by transferring the bill amount to the credit card number they give (doesn't seem right), During my last visit I accidentally spilled the mulled wine on the tablecloth, however the waiter didn't offer to replace it, so for the rest of my visit I just sat there with a large chunk of the tablecloth in wine, The selection of alcoholic drinks is very limited (I think adding a few common cocktails to the menu may be a good idea).

P.S. Mulled wine goes well with...
