A festival of Armenian cuisine, hosted by the restaurant Vratata
and the winery Villa Yustina and under the patronage of Armenian
Ambassador to Bulgaria Sergey Manasaryan, will take place in Sofia
between November 17 and 20.
The special guests in the Vratata restaurant will be the renowned
Armenian Bulgarian chefs Harotyun Tutyan -Arto and Larisa Mirzoyan,

recipes from his grandma. Arto claims that modern Armenian cuisine
is very positively influenced by Bulgarian culinary traditions.

celebrities as singer Charles Aznavour and political figures as former
Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
Arto will be preparing dishes during the first two days of the festival
and Mirozyan - during the latter two. Among the first chef's offerings,
there will be red beet panjar, stuffed aubergines with drained yogurt,
adjem pilaf with chicken, stuffed eggs with cheese and spices, manti
