In the basement of this school in Palermo there is the best restaurant of Armenian cuisine in Buenos Aires.
Forty years ago, the parents and students of a school in Palermo decided that there was no better way to raise funds for a school trip than doing what they do best: cooking. But not just any cooking, but what characterizes them as a school and as families: cooking the best homemade Armenian cuisine they could.
The plan was a success and since then, in the basement of this school in Palermo there is the best Armenian cuisine restaurant in Buenos Aires, where the parents cook the most traditional and delicious Armenian dishes and the students serve the tables.
This is UGAB Buenos Aires, where Friday and Saturday dinners have already become a classic that is renewed every year and you can enjoy homemade dishes prepared by the students’ mothers and grandmothers.
The school hall becomes a restaurant where gastronomic gems such as: authentic hummus, taboule, raw or cooked keppe, mantí (small stuffed dough boats) and other Armenian delicacies are served. There is also a grill and desserts not to be missed.

The school’s senior students are in charge of waiting tables and the proceeds are used for their study trip and visit to Armenia. But it’s not all about eating. At these Armenian dinners in Buenos Aires, we have much more than excellent Armenian home cooking. You will also enjoy a full cultural immersion with live Armenian dance shows and typical music.
Does Armenian cuisine and culture sound exotic to you?

Then reserve your place to eat and be part of a full cultural immersion eating in this restaurant in a basement of a school in Palermo.
