Imtoon in Dilijan isn’t just a restaurant — it feels like a really personal take on Armenian cuisine, where memory, craftsmanship, and hospitality all come together in a natural way. You can definitely feel the connection to the legendary Dolmama through the vision of the late restaurateur Jirayr, while Aida keeps the place running with warmth, charm, and real heart. What makes Imtoon stand out is that it doesn’t try too hard to be “traditional Armenian food” in the usual sense. Instead, it gives familiar flavors a fresh and thoughtful twist. Local ingredients are treated with care, and every dish feels more like a story than just something on a menu. The atmosphere is just as special — tucked away and intimate, hidden within Dilijan’s peaceful forest setting. It’s the kind of place food lovers hope to stumble upon by accident and then almost want to keep secret. A true hideaway for people who see food as more than just a meal. Imtoon is one of those rare places that genuinely feels like it has a soul.

Jirayr was an influential restaurateur and he left a mark in Armenia. His most famous restaurant is Dolmama and imtoon incorporates the best traditions of Dolmama. This is the Gem of Dilijan. If you’d like to have a great restaurant experience which incorporates regional dishes and be surprised by lest say “Cornelian cherry soup” just trust them and order as much as you can

Place and hosts are very nice! Surrounded by trees with a great view from terrace. However, it’s not clear that they expect 14+ guests. Food is tasty, but nothing special.
