Erebuni

Monday, May 07, 2012 - The standout dish was Ukha Tsarskaya, which mingled sturgeon and salmon with potato, tomato, pickled cucumber, black olives and dill in a peppery, spicy, lemony broth that released a distinct new flavour with each spoonful. Weird and wonderful in equal measure, this favourite of Peter the Great is both the soup of kings and a king among soups...Both main courses were well presented and cooked, if less individualistic. 'Dolma echmiadzin' is listed as a traditional Armenian dish, but while these vine leaves stuffed with mince, rice and spices were fresh, juicy and full of fun, in a blind tasting they would take some discerning from the version served across the Med.
