Getap - Ijevan

We went to the restaurant here based on a local recommendation. The experience in a nutshell is bad. The food was the worst we had in Armenia during a 7 day trip, (you can taste the fire lighter liquid on the bbq, the dips are mostly packed tomato paste, the salad was stale). The service was super slow, the restaurant is huge but is run by a couple of waiters only. Very pushy to order more stuff, and very pushy with asking for a tip. It seems like the place has seen better days, but is now a popular tourist trap. On top of all the above, the prices are higher than what we paid in 5* restaurants in Yerevan

The place design is magnificent ! However the staff are so rude and gave us the cheque while we were eating. It takes from the beauty of the nature of the place. The chicken kebab was so tasty but another kind of chicken was so dry and we didn’t order it.. the waitress added it, made us paid for it also. I wish service was better here It’s such a beautiful place Prices are super affordable by the way !

Food is quite good, if you love real wood charcoal barbecue (but hey, who doesn't? . Their grilled vegetables, and particularly their grilled potatoes, are really good. They serve two kinds of roasted peppers, one is sweet and one is pure fire — be careful with that. What they call dry red wine is in fact a semi sweet red wine, very good though. Service is extremely warm and friendly. As for the location, this is their strongest point. I simply adore those wood huts (capacity from 2 to 20 people or more on the murmuring river, I adore this idea of being amongst other people but in a very private space too.

Unique seeing the name Getap means River-side and it 's in the side of the river. The food is good, you get a private family room to eat, with a view of the river. Tried the Fish gata which was small tiny fish put together to look like a cake, it 's fish from the river, it was ok, but it looked awesome.

The location is superb. The food is very tasty. The reason why I only give 3 stars is that several dishes couldn’t be made and this was notified after the lady put the food on the table. I definitely would recommend this place anyway!
