For Aline Kamakian, the owner and founder of Mayrig, opening in Armenia has a very special meaning; it is a tribute to the Armenian history and people.

The restaurant is located in the very heart of Yerevan, welcoming the guests at 4/6 Amiryan street.

Mayrig brings an enriching addition to the growing culinary scene in Yerevan. Mayrig’s menu offers a generous variety of traditional Armenian dishes and serves a wide array of cold and hot mezze, juicy salads, delicious slow-cooked stews, a big variety of juicy and tender meat from the grill and mouthwatering desserts 

Mayrig tells the story of the Armenian people and celebrates the unrivalled Armenian hospitality.
