Marco Polo sidewalk
cafe opens in spring. It is a very nice place for a quick lunch.
Marco
Polo is located in the heart of the city, at the beginning of Abovian
Street, just 1-minute walk from the Republic Square. The restaurant
is a perfect place for a lunch break among the tourists. Sit down, relax,
watch the people on the Abovian Street, get some cold and Kotayk beer
with green olives and lemon.
Restaurant Design - Good
The interior design of the restaurant is contemporary and has two levels.
The street level is very narrow, but with very inviting atmosphere.
The basement level is not as inviting and pretty standard. In summer,
restaurant opens its sidewalk café, with glass, side panels.
It is a perfect place to escape the summer heat and have some refreshments.
Service - Good
Service is good, but a little slow. The restaurant is open late and
even at 12 am you will find people having food and beer.
Food and Drinks - Very Good
Marco Polo has great variety of appetizers. Our favorites were salami
and assorted cheese, as well as summer salads. From their main courses
we recommend to try Beef Stroganoff and mushroom dishes. They always
have cold, draft Kotayk beer and great assortment of Armenian wines.
We also enjoyed their desert drinks, chocolate cakes and very good espresso
coffee.
Prices - Moderate $$$
Prices are moderate, dinner with appetizers, drinks and desert, will
cost you around $12. Marco Polo's prices are very similar to Deauville
or Caucasus Tavern.
