Yasaman Sevan's Restaurant is the place where Lake Sevan's fish and Lake Sevan's view come together at the same table. Sitting right on the shore in Tsovagyugh, the restaurant has that direct connection to the water that is the strongest asset of any lakeside venue: you sit down, look out at the lake, and you know that the fish on your plate came from the same water you are looking at. The menu centres on ishkhan – Armenia's national fish and Sevan's pride – served in several ways: baked, poached, grilled over open fire, always fresh and without unnecessary complexity, because good fish does not need elaborate preparation to make its point. The side dishes are Armenian and seasonal: fresh salads, vegetable plates, Armenian bread, everything in that simple and honest register that is exactly right for a fish restaurant by the water. In summer the terrace opens fully, and Yasaman becomes one of the most pleasant lunch spots on the Sevan shore: sun on the water, fresh ishkhan on the plate, a glass of cold white wine in hand. That combination is the correct way to experience Lake Sevan, and Yasaman delivers it with consistency and without pretension.
