The restaurant
is really impressive from outside and looks a small
castle.

Monte
Christo is located in Hrazdan Gorge. It is a very impressive
place and perfectly suited for a good meal in the company
of friends. The restaurant is in the very nice area, surrounded
by the trees and river. It is a great place to spend nice
summer evening at the cool Hrazdan River. If you drink too
much, the waiter will gladly call the taxi and you can leave
your car with the attendant.
Restaurant Design - Very Good
One can guess that the name Monte Christo somehow related
to the old, castle look of the restaurant. The building
is impressive from outside, but interior design is not as
exceptional as we thought. Inside, you will find the interior
that looks like a poor imitation of an old castle with large
wooden tables and chairs. An interesting element of the
design was round terraces overhanging above the river. The
terraces and the cool breeze from the river create very
comfortable dining atmosphere during the hot summer evenings.
Service - Good
Service in Monte Christo is good, but nothing exceptional.
We ended up waiting for waitress for a while, but considering
that the place was full, it was acceptable. Overall, service
was similar to the majority of Proshian Street restaurants.
The only annoyance was very loud music that hampered our
conversations.
Food and Drinks - Very Good

One of
the best elements of the design are overhanging dining
terraces.

Food
in Monte Christo is very good, but limited to traditional
Armenian cuisine. Our order covered entire table with dishes
of various barbeques, trout, appetizers and few bottles
of vodkas. We recommend their mixed barbeque from lamb,
pork and beef. If you want to experience Armenian traditional
marinated, herb appetizer try shushan. The Monte Christo
also has a great variety of drinks, we suggest Russian vodka
with the barbeque and Areni wine.
Prices - Expensive $$$$
The prices are expensive, but acceptable. Table for 4 persons
including a barbeque variety, appetizers, trout and 3 bottles
of best Russian vodka will cost you around $100. So, is
around $25 per person with excessive drinks.
