Absolutely exceptional place! The food is delicious and the host is very generous and kind. I’ve been to Jerusalem many times and this is the nicest place to eat in Old Town, very accessible. The location, accessed through a little door that takes you underground, is unique and homey. I cannot recommend the Derev enough!

Second time here. Brought my parents :>

Delicious hearty stews. Light and flavorful derev and thick and tahini-loaded siniyeh. The lachmajun has a hint of spiciness, and the kibbeh and yoghurt are lovely too. Fresh salad~

Very good restaurant, we all enjoyed. Works Saturday evenings!
Tiny entrance and big underground space with lots of historical staff like guns and antique soviet brandy.
Live parrot greets you at the entrance.
Friendly and professional staff.
Very tasty Armenian dishes and Armenian coffee - can good start for a visit to Jerusalem. Prices are moderate.

After our volunteer time and everything else closed on sabbath day, it was difficult to find any place to eat. We saw this one was open and made a reservation. The service is great, food was very delicious and the restaurant is beautifully decorated inside with jewelry, art, and chandelier that brings the heritage of Armenia. We really had a good time talking to friends enjoying the night over homely food.

The restaurant atmosphere was really nicely done, cosy, full of artifacts. The food was DELICIOUS, and we also got a delicious dessert on the house! The service was so kind and such lovely people. I would really recommend this place to get traditional Armenian food on your trip to Jerusalem ! Make sure to visit the Armenian museum as well!

<p>What sets the Armenian Tavern apart from other restaurants is its location - inside a 1000-year-old building that was once part of a Crusader cloister, and its decor of endless artifacts, the likes of which could otherwise only be seen in a museum.</p>
