Papanino House

Papanino House sits on Kalinin street in Dilijan, rated 4.6 from 245 reviews, with an average check around 9500 AMD. The menu blends Armenian home cooking with heavier, meat-forward plates. Arishta with mushrooms and spinach (2700֏) is a noodle dish rooted in Armenian kitchens, while zanazan (2100֏) brings the classic vegetable mix to the table. Pickles (соленья, 2100֏) round out the starters for anyone wanting something sharp alongside the mains. On the meat side, Black Angus served with cheese (2900֏) and a turkey steak (стейк из индушки, 4500֏) sit next to duck confit (конфи из утки, 4700֏), pushing the menu past strictly traditional territory into a broader, steakhouse-adjacent range. This split makes Papanino House workable for a table where one person wants arishta and zanazan and another wants a steak or duck plate — no single cuisine dominates, but the price range stays in the same mid-to-upper bracket throughout, from 2100֏ for pickles up to 4700֏ for duck confit. Given the location in Dilijan, a stop here suits travelers passing through the town who want a sit-down meal with both familiar Armenian dishes and something closer to a European bistro plate on the same page.
