INFORMATION
Old souk, Jounieh, Lebanon
We had a wonderful experience at Ohannes about a month ago. It's a great Armenian restaurant, and I believe it’s one of the best in Lebanon. Highly recommended! Be sure to try their authentic Armenian dishes—they're a must!

Nice restaurant. Their spinach mante, fattouch and moutabbal batenjen are huge winner Their garlic sauce (toum) is so light, loved it The rest was good too, the hummos/wara2 3enab/kebbe/kafta/taouk... The mouhammara is the only not very recommended

The dishes we ordered were very tasty but I must say we didn’t order the spicy and basterma dishes. The service was very good. Only comment is that they should mention whenever there are green peppers in the dishes (which is almost in all dishes) because some people cannnot eat them and it is not mentioned in the menu.

I've been to Ohannes Batroun and it's one of my favorites. I felt like this branch did not live up to the top expectations. The food was good, don't get me wrong, but it's usually heavenly. The staff was okay but not exactly accommodating.

Absolutely the best experience I’ve had dining in Jounieh. The staff are super friendly and always talking to you with a smile even when busy. Our table was served by Ismail providing us with impeccable service, always attentive, always able to keep up with cleaning the table, having food down on time and barely any wait time. The food itself was an amazing fusion of Armenian and Lebanese cuisine truly encompassing the influence of Armenia’s complex culinary flavors on the tried and tested Lebanese oriental cuisine. To our surprise we also got served a complimentary Ashta ice cream sorbet which was to die for. The ambiance was more calm and relaxed with a bit dimmed lights, low oriental music and perfect for either a calm lunch or a nice date night. And the AC kept us cool during the hot summer nights all throughout. 10/10 would recommend. Look no further if you wanna have a mezza with a twist.

The dinning experience was exemplary and astounding. As someone who had tried several cuisines, especially lebanese/ mediterranean food this restaurant was a blissful refresher on my taste buds. Every dish was deliciously made and enjoyable to eat. I would come here a zillion more times. The service was quick and friendly especially ismail. He was lovely and easy to talk to you and super attentive to detail. 10/10 Would even get married here (that’s how good it was)
