La Boheme

It might sound funny but despite the french name there is nothing french in the menu. And to speak franklythe name of the cafe is very tricky. Have you ever heard Charles Aznavour's song La Boheme? As Armenians adore Aznavour (Not only his music but he is also respected for what he has done for Armenian) I think the name was influenced by this song. As I told it has nothing to do with the song, France etc. La Boheme is just an ordinary café on the Northern Avenue. It has a summer porch that is open during warm seasons and a closed area that works the whole year. If you visit the café then you will notice that there is really nothing special about it: it is very simple and ordinary place that it might be nice to spend time in. There is no style of interior decoration, no details and really nothing outstanding in the interior: just tables and chairs, extremely high ceiling and all glass walls that actually in summer are open. So, unique decorations are not really their advantage. In summer and at the beginning of the spring they open their summer are that is a really just a wide separated are in front of the place. There are really few tables that can be fitted there – maybe 5 or 7. But the good thing about this summer area is that it is right on the street so you can easily be a part of the people on the street but at the same time be in a café. Even though one may look at the ordinariness of this place as a bad thing, in reality it is just the opposite because you can really enjoy your time here and relax. The simplicity of the place works only to the advantage of the place. The menu here has lots of extremely delicious dishes that need to be tried at least once: risottos, salads, stakes, deserts and interesting drinks. The stake costs a little bit more than in other places but the taste is wonderful. The prices here are high which is quite reasonable taking into consideration the fact that the café is right at the center of the city. Generally, they are a little bit higher than in most of the other cafes, but it is worth it as the dishes are delicious. The waiters are nice and friendly. The best place at the café to be seating at in summer is, no surprise, the outside area, and in any other time when the area is closed, you can really seat at a little area where there are some sofas placed near the wall. Generally, the place is not an outstanding café to go to, however it is not a bad thing to spend time at so can go there and relax any time without any excessive thing that overwhelm the interior and your mood.
