The staff are extremely rude and the food is of average quality, I do not recommend it in general, but it has a good atmosphere
April 10
We were taken to this place on a guided tour. It looks like a roadside cafe. The waiter does not observe any hygiene requirements. He wrapped his arms around three mugs so that they wouldn't fall off, pressing them to his stomach and gave them to us. We waited 35 minutes for the order, and they brought us cold, straight cold, and not even cold, lyulya and a warmed dried shish kebab. Terrible attitude towards the guests.
The only place where we were treated so terribly as tourists. Up to this point, I've been saying how hospitable people live here.
The views from the cafe are beautiful on Lake Sevan.

Good afternoon, everyone!
If you want grilled fish, then fine, if you order meat, they will bring you burnt, salted, peppery, and perhaps not the freshest, more precisely sour!
If you suddenly don't want to pay for a tasteless dish, then no, it won't work that way, you've tried it, so you're paying. Be very careful and careful when choosing this place.

It is a very interesting place, the tables are located near the waters of Sevan. The menu includes very tasty dishes from local whitefish. But be prepared for the fact that you will have to pay decently. The check in rubles for a family of 5 people amounted to 5 thousand, besides, when calculating it turned out that about a quarter of the order amount was charged for service. The highlight of the cafe are robber seagulls, who eat with their hands and strive to steal a piece from the plate.

A good place, not only for tourists. When we were there, some of the locals celebrated the holiday with a large company. Good kitchen, practically open, everything is delicious. But very expensive. You can also change the room right there, if you do it right away and there will be a big discount on the restaurant.

Tasteless food and terrible service. We were here 2 years ago - there were few people and everything was very tasty, it's a pity that I didn't read the reviews before the second visit. I specially brought guests here, because I really liked it 2 years ago, but the place has completely deteriorated. They now work exclusively for tourists brought by guides for %. The waitress was waited for 40 minutes, she came up only when she was literally caught by the hand, instead of a kilogram of trout, 5 small pieces with a total weight of a maximum of 400 grams were brought on the menu, while the fish was absolutely not tasty, as was the vegetable salad. It was also impossible to wait for the bill. The owner of the restaurant, when asked about the total discrepancy between the weight of the dish and the declared one, replied, among other things, "are you not deceiving anyone?", just a shame. They left half-starved and with a spoiled impression after a perfectly spent day before visiting this "restaurant". I highly recommend not to visit, there are many decent options on Sevan.

We were also brought by a guide, I read the reviews just now and completely disagree with them! No need to wait for a Michelin star from a cafe on the beach and you will be happy))
We took assorted fish kebabs, a summer salad, a glass of wine and beer. A few days before, we ate on the peninsula itself, also with a view of Sevan, there the whitefish was terribly salty, the crayfish stank of mud. And here everything was adequately salted, not overcooked, and even I ate the cradle, although I do not eat river fish precisely because of the taste of mud. The portions were large, the three of us were there, we took a third with us. Armenian bottled beer, but homemade wine, yes, bullshit, not tasty. It's better to take it in bottles, almost all Armenian wine is decent.
As for the service, yes, it is slower than in Moscow, but it is generally normal for Armenia)) and we also had a banquet, so the promptness was decent)) plus, you have time to calmly go take pictures on a small platform on the water, so that you feel as beautiful as possible)) The waitress is smiling, told, advised, and collected the leftovers with herself.
They accept cash and cards, except for Russians, well, they are not accepted anywhere now.
In general, it was delicious, beautiful and sincere for us.

A very beautiful view of Sevan: a person likes to look at the water :) Food for 4 with a minus. You won't surprise me with trout: I eat from Karelia. It was a little dry, but it was cooked on the grill and this is understandable. Cancer is not interesting, but I tried the kebab from it: it smelled like mud, as it should.
Wine for three with a minus.
I was upset that the red cat wasn't being fed because "he's not ours."
I would have known: I left him some fish.

We ordered Hashlam and brought a dish, we tried to eat it, but it was a vain attempt, we should have refused right away.
When we tried to express our dissatisfaction, the waitress said that why did you eat it, now we will not take it back to the cook, it is the same. ...
So another experience, if in doubt, do not touch it and let them take it away, because if they started eating, it's all yours, no matter how nasty it would be. The photo shows that only the walls of the intestines, and fat.

It is terribly expensive and tasteless, the prices are clearly inflated, and the tour company carries here for a percentage of the establishment. It would seem that you can ruin mashed potatoes, here you will learn how. Crab kebab is a local distribution, there will be something in the spirit of crab sticks. As well as our neighbors on the tour, instead of hashlama from beef, they brought mutton, which they do not eat, it is unlikely that the elderly will write this in the reviews, I will write

It's a disgusting place, starting from the territory itself and ending with the service. Immediately from the doorstep, garbage is lying everywhere and they are greeted with dissatisfied faces. The guide brought us here, we sat down separately from the group and just waited for half an hour for a waiter or at least someone. We almost danced with a tambourine to get people to come up to us. As soon as the order was accepted, the waiters disappeared. The last straw was that I asked for a blanket, three times, from different waiters, nodded my head and disappeared into my booth. When the last time came, they said that there were no blankets anymore, although the people who came after us safely received them. In general, not an institution, but a bottom in a remote village.

I would put less than one if it were possible. We were brought here like the others, as part of a tour group. We had an hour of time for everything about everything, it seems enough. The waitress took our order, we waited 10, 20, 30 minutes while she rushed around the other tables. We approached her to ask where the food was, because there was little time left - she said that "she will probably bring it to you soon" (?). As a result, we have only 5 minutes left and there is still no food, we approach her once again and ask where our order is, at this moment it is worth another waitress. Ours starts saying that you didn't order from me, but from her (what?) and to prove that she did not take the order from us and does not know anything about it. As a result, we find our order together in her notebook, to which we get rounded eyes and "oh, sorry.".. Anyway, she just FORGOT TO TAKE OUR ORDER TO THE KITCHEN. We had to leave without tasting their "wonderful" food according to other reviews, thank you very much! We ended up without lunch at all. Thank God Gata from Geghard was with her, she saved us. I do not recommend it to anyone!

We took a fish kebab - divine.

Awful. This is the only place in Armenia where it was not delicious. Whitefish and fish soup were taken from three types of fish. As a result, whitefish migrations, the ear is completely tasteless, it feels like they washed the pan with water after the fish soup, and then served it to us, instead of three types of fish, 1 cartilage from the sterlet's nose and 1 cartilage from the spine swam in the ear. All. I can't say anything about meat. But usually people go to Sevan to try fish dishes.

We were with a company of 4 people, the menu from the printed one did not match the serving, the beef kibab turned out to be pork.
The food is too salty, the fish waited a long time, the potatoes were not cooked
We enjoyed visiting the most beautiful place of Lake Sevan, no matter what

The cafe is designed exclusively for tourists.
Everything you see in the photo costs 15,000 drachmas (it's cheaper in Yerevan, and the serving is much better) Friends, before the trip to Sevan, I highly recommended a cradle from cancer, I ordered it. It didn't even smell like cancer! It smelled like chicken, a chicken cradle is 5 times cheaper than a cancer one. I emphasize that I express only my opinion. My wife ate whitefish on the grill, quite decently (I tried a piece) There is a fuss among the staff, there seem to be a lot of them, but it is not clear who to contact. The waiting time is quite acceptable, there is time for a toilet and a photo from the pier to Sevan!

A terrible place. Don't be under any illusions, this is a collective farm, terrible service, staff like in the 90s. The territory is not well maintained, some old boats are lying around, an abandoned cafe.
Cafe Chill is a time machine for 30 years ago. Guest houses are not comfortable. There are no teapots, not even just a glass or a cup. It's very cold, barely persuaded to turn on the battery, my child and I (early September). There is no kitchen in the cabins. Wi-Fi doesn't work. Ice floor. There's only cold water in the sink. It was leaking under the sink. The faucet and the water drain made nasty noises, beeping half the night. No sound insulation.
Kebabs from cancer are a HOAX!!! It's chicken and crab sticks. The staff is not friendly, not fast.
Get out of here as soon as possible.

Like many of those who left reviews, he was brought here by a guide. The view of Sevan is good, but the advantages of the establishment end there.
The kebab is medium, greasy. French fries are even greasier, baked potatoes are hard inside.
The ear is a separate story — greasy, with disgusting pieces of fish, pieces of tail and skin, for 4000 drams, which is more than a thousand rubles at the exchange rate at the time of purchase.
After visiting this institution, I always remembered that I had to read the reviews first.

PEOPLE, BE SURE TO READ ALL THE REVIEWS!!!
I subscribe to every negative comment
The would-be "guide" brought us here, and openly said that he had a percentage of it
51,000 drams were spent on 4 people (the day before they ate in the center of Yerevan for 27,000)
There is no food, with an incredibly inflated price tag
"The most delicious, the only one on the whole planet" kebab from cancer necks is nothing more than a mixture of minced chicken with something incomprehensible
Sea buckthorn vodka, which was also recommended, also does not represent anything and costs 6400 drams per 200 grams
The service is terrible, you always have to look for any waiter, when you ask for some new dish, they look at you as an enemy of the people
The only advantage of the institution, which it is not involved in, is the view of the lake
I hope that with this review I will save gullible tourists like us from negative emotions and spending a huge amount of money for nothing, and help this institution to close to hell.

Unfortunately, the guide brought me, as well as many others. The menu has moved from Soviet times. We left with sick bellies, French fries- soft pieces in fat. Kebab made of cancerous necks is actually not clear from what! How can it be made from fat and meat, I don't understand, are you out of your mind?!! It looks the same as chicken with tiny pink flecks, and the meat tastes greasy. And believe me, I will not confuse this taste, because I have not eaten meat for many years. I gave it right away and said that I was ready to pay half, since this "dish" does not match the declared one. The waiter brought me the check as if everything was fine, I say sorry no. I was taken to the "office" of the director. It's such a nightmare! Run, though, it's expensive and disgusting not tasty. what else? Nice view of the lake))

We've never been in a worse place. It is very expensive and completely tasteless here.
1) Instead of a vegetable salad, some stumps of vegetables were brought.
2) They cheat with grammars. We ordered 1 kg of the famous Sevan trout, and eventually brought 5 small pieces with a total weight of a maximum of 400-500 grams. Moreover, the largest of them is the head, where there is absolutely no meat. A tail was brought to the next table. They demanded to replace one piece. Bullying attitude towards customers. I also attach the serving of this magnificent dish for 1.5 k.
3) We ordered a kebab from cancer. It costs 6,000 drams (1.2k ₽) , in fact it is an ordinary chicken kebab with some inclusions of crab sticks. There is no cancer here. Another deception.
4) They cheat with the account. They include 10% in the receipt for the service, which does not smell here, and then round it up to an even amount, thus adding another 100-200 rubles to the receipt. Double-check the bill, or better yet, avoid this place.
5) Cards are not accepted. Of course, they do not warn about this in advance.
Guides bring groups of tourists here, due to this the place lives, and even with a full landing. But the place is disgusting, the mood is spoiled for the whole day.
If you come with an excursion, ask to be taken to another place with a normal assessment.

The main thing is that the cafe lives exclusively at the expense of cunning guide drivers who take tourists to it for a kickback, saying that this is a cafe with the BEST kebabs in Armenia. Yeah.
Cafe - parasha. Prices are twice as expensive as other cafes at Sivan's. There is no service from the word at all. The food is not delicious, and the famous crayfish cradles are actually chicken and crab sticks cradles. Moreover, those people from our group who ate this kebab eventually caught food poisoning.
Overall, the food is not delicious.
The tables are dirty, the tablecloths are greasy and smelly.
The toilet is outside.
Important: double-check the receipts. They tried to cheat us out of a tidy sum. We sat together and counted the check (handwritten))) and every position. By the way, 10% service fee (guys, where is the service here??) they turned it on.
Payment is in cash only. No maps.
In general, if you suddenly find out that you are being taken to this dump, I advise you to completely refuse and demand to take you to another restaurant.

It is marked on the map as a Chill. The restaurant is located on the shore of Sevan, the cuisine is delicious, especially lelya kebab made of crayfish! The cooking time is 10-15 minutes, the waiters are friendly, you can't go to the pier right now - it's under repair.

The place is a rollback, because of this, prices are 1.5 times higher than other similar establishments on this highway. There is no food.

We've been to hell. I think the food is better in prison.
All the friends who visited Armenia advised to visit the lake. Sevan and of course to eat kebab from crayfish and whitefish fish. Blindly trusting the local guide (it's our own fault), we were brought to this place. Questions arose immediately, we said we didn't want to have lunch here (it was dirty), but the driver assured us that the BEST kebab was here. After being asked to remove from the table (leftovers of onions and bread), the waiter simply took off and shook the tablecloth right on the floor next to me and put it back on the table with the other side. Shock. Then the food was brought in 2 minutes!!!! How is it possible to bring dishes from the grill in 2 minutes? There were no crayfish in the kebab. The chicken is clean with flecks of crab sticks. We couldn't eat it. Kebab 6000 drams, whitefish 5000 drams. It's a pity for the money. Drivers are almost rewarded in color for the people they bring.

Yes, guys, I've seen a lot in my life! But I haven't eaten such disgusting cuisine even in the hole itself!
But about everything in order.
1. Cunning drivers and guides from excursions in Armenia bring their clients here. It is clear that for a bribe from the owners of this cafe. If you suddenly find yourself this customer, directly show this review to the whole group and just ask the guide to take you to any restaurant with a rating of 4.5!
2. All the dishes are very expensive and absolutely not tasty!
Well, at least for that kind of money they cooked delicious, but no, they cook tasteless and cheat with the same crayfish crayfish. Well, there are no crayfish in it from the word at all! Perhaps a little sensitive to the smell, but this is a chicken of pure water. The kebab is dry and overcooked. The weights of the dishes are absolutely not correct. For example, the weight before frying is written in the fish, which we learned after ordering.
3. The service is long, although they were warned that a small group was traveling. If you have already established such a deception, then at least be kind enough to keep the right number of employees under control!
4. The room was not heated and it was cold.
5. The dishes are carried so illogically that there is no sense from the vegetable salad after 30 minutes as the barbecue was brought.
6. All dishes are 2-3 times more expensive than the prices in restaurants here in Sevan.
7. What kind of *** are you after all!!
