Armenian Taverna & Restaurant

One of Manchester’s most beloved restaurants, Armenian Tavern has welcomed guests to enjoy its traditional Armenian food, warm hospitality, and unparalleled service for nearly five decades.

Our chef
Chef Yianni pelekanos, menu consists of mouth watering dishes with a rustic influence that showcase the restaurant’s relationship with its traditional home cooked food. Head chef Pelekanos has been cooking for over 20 years and has previously been cooking within the USA and Canada, his signature dish being with fish. Just like traditional Armenian food which is “seasonal”, Pelekanos uses the freshest fruits, vegetables, meats, herbs and spices available at that time and locally sourced.

Cooking Techniques
Armenians love dishes cooked over a barbeque mainly of meat, fish and vegetables.
The traditional cooking techniques we use can be very complicated as we put a lot of time and effort into the preparation which involves, whipping, stuffing and making puree and adding our spices and greens.
