About us

Hovk: The historical heart and breath of traditions of Dilijan

In the heart of Dilijan
"Hovk" restaurant is located in the historical center of the city. Our stone walls tell the story of the city's rich past, and our doors are always open to those who are looking for the true peace and warmth of Dilijan.

A name that has a soul
"Hovq" (Hovq) - this not only means fresh breeze and mountain coolness, but is also the ancient name of Dilijan itself. By choosing this name, we aimed to return and preserve the natural strength and purity of our city. For us, every visit is a communication with the city's roots.

The heir to traditions
We remain faithful to the cultural and culinary heritage left by our ancestors.

Cuisine: We prepare traditional recipes from Tavush using fresh local produce. Our barbecued meats and slow-cooked khashlama will give you the true taste of an Armenian home.
Hospitality: For us, a guest is not a visitor, but a member of the family. We continue the best traditions of Armenian hospitality, creating an environment where you will feel at home.
