Maison de la culture Arménienne

Warm and inviting place, big servings and tasty food. The hosts are very friendly and the ambience was wonderful with regulars and families. A bit difficult to find so if you call them they can guide you, otherwise you can enter the main complex (the door is blue) without a code and enter till you see a place with flags. Strongly recommended.

Quite a lovely lunch. Hidden location inside a courtyard. Mostly group diners of 4-8 all in an equally jovial mood as the staff. Was suggested to try a lurid green drink by a neighbouring table… perhaps skip that one and go for a cherry soda instead next time! Atw thé Eggplant with mince was yum and very filling. The choice of cracked wheat or rice. Was a pretty big portion and you’re given pita bread/unleavened bread. Didn’t have room for dessert! Will be back and the chicken smelt really good. Dining room felt very « community » , clean but simple (think of it as a canteen less of a restaurant in décoré but the food is great quality. Prices are very reasonable. Will be back with a bigger appetite to try the chicken, desserts and that cherry drink.

Very good food served in this restaurant. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Restaurant is very simple, feeling at home. Be aware you need to entire the building door (no code) and cross the courtyard.

Agree with previous reviews. Wonderfully friendly. It's a unique dining experience. Food is Georgian-Armenian.

Unique, hidden place with Armenian (or sometimes Georgian) dishes. It’s the farthest door in the backyard, first floor. You will feel like you’re not in Paris anymore, the atmosphere is one or a kind. Prices are very ok but watch out, cash only!

If you are looking for a warm and cozy place, where the owner comes to you and hugs you…with an amazing taste in Armenian foods, perfect wines and the most beautiful feeling of family……this is the place. We’ve tried everything on the menu and have since then been so many times we’ve lost count. Just go.

What a shame. Zero authentic armenian food, all the food was precooked and of low quality, they even managed to badly cook the rice. Extremely small menu with only 4 dishes of which half is unavailable. Absolutely disrespectful waitress who insulted me and my friends dining at the place. Stay away from this place. I recommend to go to the Georgian restaurant if you are looking for good service and authenticity. Stay away at all costs.

Great food and the lady who served us was extremely nice. Highly recommend

There's something really special about this place. It's partly that it's hard to find (at least it was for us) because it's not a typical restaurant but a dining room of the Cultural Centre. There isn't a lot of signage. If you don't speak great french you need to know to go thru the big blue/green door and across a courtyard. Then thru the Centre's doors and upstairs. Once seated the hostess/chef/owner person greeted us warmly and gave us wonderful service all evening. The food was lovely, the wine was yummy. The ambiance is quirky - not a typical restaurant. More like visiting grandma's cafeteria. We loved it.

Absolutely incredible. You'd never know it was there unless you were looking for it, which makes it even more special. The food is delicious and it feels like your grandmas dining room. As someone with Armenian heritage I could not have been more pleased. Great prices for central Paris as well!

The place is literally a hidden gem. When you get to the building there are two large doors and no signs outside. You will need to call the place in order for them to buzz you in, or just wait until someone leaves then sneak in. :D the food was delicious. I got the chicken kabob plate with bulghur rice and my wife got the khinkali plate which is basically Armenian dumplings. The pickled vegetables were included. We topped it off with a bottle of Armenian wine. The owners are super nice which we spent a good portion of our time conversing with and enjoyed every minute. Definitely check this place out!

If i lived in paris, i would eat here AT LEAST twice a week!!!!! it was one of the highlights of my trip a few years ago and the feelings i had while i enjoyed my meals there (2 days in a row!!!) still linger with tremendous joy and fondness. the owners/hosts could not have been more hospitable. as an armenian, it is hard to find "my" food anywhere, but i did. in a little corner of paris. and a hidden one at that! i ordered the manti -- the meat-filled dumplings and i loved it! best was the hostess, a most endearing woman who came over and i was able to speak with her in our language. i arrived at the tail end of lunch service, but no one made me leave. in fact, quite the opposite! i was invited to stay as long as i wanted to. eventually, i stopped lingering over the remnants of my demi-tasse of armenian coffee. as i was leaving, the proprietors were ready to eat their own midday meal. i stopped at their table to offer my profuse thanks for a phenomenal experience. i looked at their bowls filled with krchik -- a dish made with pickled cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes and broth. the reaction was visceral! it was a dish i adored !!!! i told them that while i loved the manti, had i known that krchik was on the menu, i would have ordered it. it was a dish i had not had since i was 5 or 6 years old. a russian-armenian woman who rented a flat to my newly immigrated parents to detroit (MI) and who i loved as a grandmother used to make it all the time for her husband. i would sit and eat this rib-sticking dish with my surrogate grandfather just before he went to work at the local auto factory. it was, by all standards, peasant food, but manna to me! the host and hostess explained that it was not a menu item, but something they prepared for themselves. they asked if i would join them for some and i said i was too full to do that, but i sat down anyway and we simply conversed freely. we compared and contrasted life in france and the USA. i spent almost an additional hour there -- and i loved every word i heard. it was music to my ears. as i was really leaving this time around, i was invited to return to have the krchik the next day. i was not declining that invitation. i RAN back!!!! and i had a HUGE bowl of the krchik -- on the house! i could not take a bite without shedding a tear, but the tears stopped when i took the first bite and i flashed back 55 years!!! it was delicious!!!! i did not stop eating until the bowl was completely empty. i was invited to have some more, but i had nowhere to put it. admittedly, i ate many amazing french meals in paris, but this was the best damned thing i ate in paris that trip. i have to say that it was dish whose ingredients contained quality ingredients and unquantifiable amounts of kindness, love and nostalgia. it nourished my heart, my soul and the love for my culture. the whole experience was a strong, fierce embrace! i will never forget this - even in my dotage!

Special special special for anyone of Armenian decent it's like a you were transported back to your grandmothers dining room. Food of the heart and soul. We were in Paris for four days and our French family took us here magical. So lucky we got to experience this warm and delicious place. My heart was so happy

Hidden gem in the center of Paris. Great food and ambiance. Service is also very friendly.
