Armenian food at Ormiańskie Piwnice in Zamość
The restaurant leans into the town's Armenian heritage, with a menu built around Armenian and regional dishes of the Zamość area. It sits in the brick-vaulted cellars of a historic Armenian tenement, a fitting setting for the cooking.
Dining in a 17th-century Armenian cellar
Ormiańskie Piwnice is at ul. Ormiańska 30, one of the coloured Armenian houses to the right of the Town Hall as you face it. The underground rooms give the place its character, and in summer it opens a garden near the town stage on the square.
Where to find the restaurant on the Great Market Square
You will find it directly on the Great Market Square, a few steps from the Town Hall and the Muzeum Zamojskie, which makes it an easy lunch or dinner stop while sightseeing. Booking ahead is wise in the busy season.
