Smile Cafe - Tartu

This cozy Armenian restaurant has left the best impressions! Warm hosts, delicious dishes, great service and amazing wine. I recommend everyone! I always want to come back here.

Home-alike cozy atmosphere and very tasty Khinkali

This gem of a restauraunt, located a short walk from the main University of Tartu Campus, not only possesses a menu with delicious dishes even students can afford, but also is run by a family who show nothing but the utmost hospitality to all who enter it, reflecting the great heart of the Armenian people. The family running this restauraunt are polyglots, so you can communicate comfortably and fluently in many languages if necessary, including English. The interior is adorned with beautiful paintings of the Armenian landscape and culture, making one feel as if they've been transported to the breathtaking beauty of the Caucasus, and the tables are adorned with handcrafted cloths and other decorations. Every dish that I have tried has been extremely delicious, and my favourites include Khachapuri, and Khashlama. (The Khachapuri and this cafe are even popular among my Georgian colleagues! To sum up, go! this restauraunt/cafe is worth the visit, and every customer leaves glad that they picked the best.

Sometimes the daily lunch options sound like something out of a Soviet school kitchen. But whenever I am in doubt and try them, I find myself eating one of the best lunches of that week. Everything on the menu that I've tried has been delicious (especially considering the price) and I do have to say that their lentil soup is the best in Tartu!

No nonsense, fast, good Armenian food for a fair price.
