Gwoog Gastrohouse

Gwoog Gastrohouse is a restaurant in Gyumri built around Shirak-region cooking, open since July 2019. The name comes from the local dialect word for a cellar, and the business describes itself as a place to eat that food on the spot or take it home.

The menu lists gyumrva qyalla (steamed, grilled beef head) among its bestsellers. There's also tatar boraki, homemade dough served with ghee and matzoun (strained yogurt), and panrkhash, lavash bread layered with chechil cheese (a stretched, string-like cheese). Beyond those, the kitchen covers breakfast through dinner, with beer, wine, coffee and dessert, plus vegetarian options.

Groups and families are accommodated, and the building has wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance, seating and restroom. Tables can be booked ahead; both dine-in and takeout are offered.

Gwoog Gastrohouse is in Gyumri, Shirak region, roughly 88 km northwest of Yerevan as the crow flies.
