Yerevan - Post Report Question and Answers
What do people who suffer from environmental or food allergies need to know?
Vegan restaurants are available. Dairy free options are available in some cafes. Meat and seafood is available for purchase at the bigger supermarkets like YerevanCity, Parma, and CarreFour but can be pretty pricey. Most food products are imported from Russia and nearby countries. Fresh fruits and veggies are available year-round and the Armenian seasonal fruits like figs, peaches, cherries, apricots are great. Gluten-free flour like rice flour can be found in smaller quantities but anyone with dietary restrictions should bring them in the Consumables shipment. Asian condiments are limited to fish sauce and soy sauce so include niche condiments in your Consumables. Every fresh produce is locally grown and basically organic. - Jul 2026
