Traditional ARMENIAN MARKETS Tour & Food Tastings | Yerevan, Armenia
My second full day in Armenia continued in the capital city, Yerevan. Come along with me as I tour two traditional Armenian markets and go on an incredible food-tasting journey in Yerevan!
Armenia Travel:
My day started bright and early at GUM Market after breakfast. My guides for the day, Rita and Vanuhi, took me inside. It’s beautiful, clean, and well-lit. Right away, I tried lots of dried fruits, including a fig with walnut inside and a walnut with a sweet grape coating.
Then, I had a tasty dried peach and plum lavash, which is like plum fruit leather. Next, I had an Armenian date and a sticky, dried apricot that dries while it’s on the tree.
Next was an amazing fig and almonds with dried cherry wrapped around them. I loved the contrast between the almond and the sticky cherry!
Then , we came to the fresh fruit section, where I could see peaches, grapes, figs, plums, and more. They had some tiny grapes! Then, I tried an Armenian meat with a peppery and salty coating and some pomegranate wine that was more like juice. I was loving the hospitality!
Next, we saw some honeys and jams, followed by vendors butchering and selling fresh, farm-to-table poultry, beef, pork, and lamb.
Next, I tried a strong, fresh goat cheese that evaporated in my mouth, cheese with herbs, and sheep cheese. The sheep cheese with herbs was strong and almost minty! Next, the sweet vendor kept giving me food! She brought me a cheese and bread sandwich and grapes! The fluffy bread, juicy grapes, and strong salty cheese was an incredible combination.
Then, she gave me minty herbs to eat with the cheese and bread, fresh quince juice, a peach, and a strong, mozzarella-like cheese!
Then, we visited the lavash section, where there were different varieties made from different types of flour and in different tandoors. The vendor gave me a whole bag of lavash for free! It was a phenomenal bread!
Next, we headed to Vernissage flea market. To the left were swords, while to the right, there were souvenirs like jewelry and religious items. I saw some cool T-shirts, jewelry, an awesome wallet, and colorful scarves and hats. I bought a bag, beanie, and scarf for 9,000 dram, or a little under $20 USD. She took 500 off!
We continued on and saw cups, pottery, clocks, religious crafts, handmade tea sets, and more. There were also wooden crosses, and models of Armenian churches! These churches were some of the first Christian churches in the world.
I also saw a beautiful wooden Armenian board game with dice, as well as pipes, rosaries, and more. I loved the barrels they had for brandy, as well as the gorgeous wooden chessboards. Then, we saw instruments called duduk made from apricot trees!
Next were Armenian ceramics, followed by vivid and beautiful Armenian paintings depicting Armenian churches and the mountains. They cost about $125 USD. Every painter had their own style. Some were brighter than others, some were more abstract. I also found some Armenian soccer uniforms, which I got for my nephews for 6,000 dram, or about $12 USD.
Next was the silver part of the market. The earrings, necklaces, and bracelets were all handmade and set with different stones. Then, I saw a 125-year-old handmade carpet. They cost about $1,000 USD.
Next, I came across a vendor selling traditional Armenian hats. She said no one wears them in public, but they were really nice and made of wool. I bought one for 5,000 dram, or about $10 USD. I loved the patterns on it!

예레반시내 대로변에 있는 자유시장. 첫 인상이 마치 체육관 같다. 아르메니아의 국토는 체르노젬이라고 하는 흑토로 덮여있어 유실수들이 자라기에 적합하다. 그래서 시장에 가보면 견과류들이 너무도 많이 진열되어있다. 아르메니아는 햇살이 좋기 때문에 이 모든 견과류는 자연 건조시킨 것이다. 아르메니아는 위도가 한국과 비슷하여 한국에서 나는 과일들을 이곳 자유시장에서 다 살 수 있으므로 마치 가락동 농산물시장에 온 것 같은 착각에 빠진다.

One of Yerevan's most notatable and distinctive public buildings - the covered market on Mashtots avenue - is been demolished. Designed by Grigor Abababian and built in the 1940s, it was famous for its cavernous, railway station-like interior, and its entrance facade that was inspired by the polygonal stone inlay entrance facades of medieval Armenian palaces and which contained motifs derived from the produce sold within, interspersed with Soviet motifs. The building is owned by the well-known criminal and member of the Armenian parliament, Samvel Alexanyan.

Important Cultural Information:
Lavash (Armenian: լավաշ; Azerbaijani and Turkish: lavaş; Kurdish: Nanê Loş; Persian: لواش), sometimes referred to as Armenian lavash is a soft, thin unleavened flatbread made in a tandoor (called Tonir in Armenian) and eaten all over the Caucasus, Western Asia and the areas surrounding the Caspian Sea. Lavash is the most widespread type of bread in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Iran.
Most Modern Food Specialists claim that it originated in Armenia whilst others state that it probably originated in Middle East. According Peter Reinhart (An American Baker), Lavash, though usually called Armenian flatbread, also has Iranian roots and is now eaten throughout the Middle East and around the world.
In 2014, Lavash, the preparation, meaning and appearance of traditional bread as an expression of culture in Armenia was inscribed in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

예레반 시내의 베르니사즈 시장, 아르메니아의 어제와 오늘을 만날 수 있는 베르니사즈 시장은 아르메니아 사람들이 살아가는 모습을 만날 수 있는 작은 아르메니아다. 각 종 기념품과 장신구들 그리고 골동품들로 가득하다. 우리나라의 황학동 벼룩시장에 온 기분이다. 체스를 두고 있는 상인들의 모습까지 정말 똑같다. 기념품을 사기 위해 많은 사람들이 찾는데 “안녕하세요” 아르메니아 전통의상의 인형들이 이곳에서 가장 많이 팔리는 최고의 인기상품이다. “이 석류는 아르메니아 국가의 상징이에요. 여기에 소금도 넣고 장신구도 넣어요. 마음대로 사용할 수 있어요” “이것은 가유식(여자인형이름)이고 이것은 아르딱(남자인형이름)이에요. 이것은 이렇게 예쁘게 접고 다른 자세로도 접을 수 있어요. 이렇게 크기와 모양을 달리 할 수 있어요” 아르메니아의 전통악기인 두둑을 파는 악기점, 일반 리코더와 다를 게 없어 보이는데, 소리는 어떨까? 들어보니 우리나라의 향피리 소리와 똑같다. “이것은 두둑이라고 해요. 살구나무로 만든 관악기예요” “두둑을 직접 만들어요?” “할아버지께서 만들고 저는 부는 연습을 해요”

The Magic of Armenian Herbs & Spices @ The Gum Shuka (Market) in Yerevan, Armenia.
The Magic of Armenian Herbs & Spices @ The Gum Shuka (Market) in Yerevan, Armenia.
Probably, you’ve already got familiar from our previous videos with the history and description of several countries national cuisines and the most popular dishes. Now it’s time to pay special attention to the Armenian Herbs, Vegetables and Spices, which are very unique.
We met in the Gum Market (Shuka) in Yerevan, Armenia, The Avetisian (Brother & Sister). A tradition of generation selling and dealing with herbs and spices from this wonderful country.
Cultural Information:
Shukas are Fresh Food markets, known as Rinoks (REE-noks) in Russian. You owe it to yourself to visit a Shuka while here, if for nothing else than sampling the myriad smells of fresh produce and spices. Shukas are stocked with freshly butchered meat (sometimes set apart from the main Shuka in a separate location), Fish, Vegetables and Fruits piled in beautiful designs, Spices, a variety of greens (Fresh Herbs), Mushrooms, Cheeses and Dairy products, Breads and a few canned food shops mixed in the throng.
A good Armenian phrase to learn is Verchin Gina Inch Eh? (Vehr-CHEEN Geen-Ah Eench eh?) which means What's the final price? since you can haggle for ages, and this phrase cuts to the quick.
One of the best times to shop at a Shuka is in the Autumn, when the Apples and Grapes are in season. The varieties and tastes are overwhelming. Armenian food is practically chemical free, a benefit of the collapse of the local economy, which made Chemical Fertilizers Unavailable or too expensive. As a result, though, you may not see the gorgeous colors you are used to in Europe, but then again, you won't have to put up with bland tastes. This food is incredible. Try it!
