Arman & Arusyak

The third generation to hold this table.

Since 1968

Three generations. One table.

Armenian opened its doors in 1968 and has been run by the same family ever since — recipes unchanged, the grill still live charcoal, the welcome exactly as warm as it always was. It isn't nostalgia. It's just how we've always done it, and we've never found a reason to stop.

The Kitchen

Chef Yianni Pelekanos
Yianni Pelekanos
Executive Chef, Armenian

Over 20 years in the kitchen — including time spent cooking in the USA and Canada — have given Chef Pelekanos a rustic, home-cooked sensibility that shows in every plate. True to Armenian tradition, he cooks seasonally, sourcing whatever's freshest, with a particular love for fish.

6,100 Years of Winemaking

Armenia is home to the oldest known winery in the world — a heritage we pour into every glass on our list, much of it still fermented the old way, in clay karas buried in the earth.
