Ararate Colinas — Restaurant in Odivelas

There's absolutely nothing that justifies a 230€ meal for 5 people. Let's be clear, this is NOT fine dinning, nor even close to that standard. This is a small restaurant well decorated but jammed in Odivelas dormitory neighbourhood, so nothing exciting to do around after. The service lacks empathy but go with the role of explaining how you should eat the food (if there's such need). Food was served quickly but the flavors were there for the most part. Avoid stews like the plague. Yes these are tasteful but it's served as a bowl with 98% beef stock, 5 portions of beef, 5 pepper slices and that's it. Also it's ok for one person, more than that is just comic. You would be better satisfied eating noodles straight from a microwaves. Grilled meat is a mess, there's burger meat in between, minced chicken that tastes somewhat interesting at first, soon to discovered it's cheap in the end. There's the Armenian promenade wine served chilled. Fruity and easy going, you can buy a bottle online for 5€, but here it's 19€ a pop. It's not a bad food experience, but it's ridiculously overpriced. You can literally walk 200mt and go spend those 230€ on a mountain of fresh seafood that will make you forget this Armenian pseudo fine wannabe...

Absolutely fantastic food and the staff here are great. I don't understand some of the negative reviews and some people saying this is expensive??? For this standard of delicious food, served quickly by staff who care it's extremely reasonable. We've found our new favourite restaurant. I think sometimes people leave bad comments and they haven't ever eaten here. It was full of people enjoying their food when we were there.

There's something for everyone here: vegetarians, carnivores, people who like spices but not heat in the food. The bread they make here is delicious, and the meat too. We enjoyed every single dish and the coffee and desserts afterwards.

The only negative is that it was a little bit cold in the restaurant, but not enough to really affect...
