Petit Paris

You can always find yourself in Paris and get indulged in the sweetness of Europe if you visit the Petit Paris Café in Yerevan. Petit Paris is a little café on Abovyan Street in Yerevan. This is a very unique place that does not really have any place similar to it in the city. The place has 2 floors, an outside summer porch and an extremely small balcony that can only place a table for two there. The summer porch at this season is the best part of the place. The uniqueness of the summer porch is that it is located right on the street where the passengers go by, so you basically sit on the street like most of the cafes in Europe. The place is separated from the street part by some plants and decorations. At first it may sound strange but believe me it is so nice to sit outside at a summer evening , enjoy your coffee while the wind is blowing and , ATTETION, listening to live music on the piano. Yes, you heard it right, live piano music. This is the ultimate key to happiness. When you go in to the first floor, you find an ordinary café interior, nothing special, but please move on, and walk up the stair to the second floor. Here the interior is better designed,: nice sofas, half-melted candles, window drapes. From the second floor you can enter the extremely little balcony that can accommodate only 2 persons. So if you plan to be seated here make sure to make a reservation. My favorite part of the place is a little room that is separated from the rest and is located on the second floor. Here there are only 3 tables. The interior here is very nice, very light but at the same time very full with little details: metallic vintage shelves, floral patterns, little pictures on the wall, old candleholders. In one word I can say that this unique corner has a very romantic atmosphere. I strongly advise you to be seated here. So climb the stairs and turn right and you find yourself at a magical place. The prices at this place are very affordable. Compared to other places, they are surprisingly cheap but the quality does not suffer at all. The one strange fact is that there are 2 different menus here. The menu you get at the first floor inside has different prices than the menu you get at the second floor and at the outside porch. The selection though is the same. Actually this can be justified by the fact that the first floor is really too ordinary compared to second floor but it is still nice. The dishes and coffees here are good. Their most famous desert that I personally tried today is the almond cake which is great. It totally justified all the feedback I heard about it. The waiters are very nice and friendly and the service is good. The fee is 10% of your total order amount. This place is really a piece of Paris in Armenia, so it totally corresponds to its name. Go ahead and visit it and don’t be stingy go to the second floor or the outside balcony even though has a bit higher prices. I am sure you will not regret it.
