OUR ECO BAR
Gouroo Eco Bar was founded on the ideas of providing a fun option for the best tasting, highest quality healthy beverages. Our bar menu is seasonal and constantly evolving.

Gouroo-ing: A Philosophy
Gouroo is a philosophy for eating and living that prioritizes health, taste, and happiness all in one measure.
Joy and awareness
For us, Gouroo-ing means having awareness about what’s healthy for you and your environment. It means enjoying food while preserving its natural benefits. It means making healthy dining easy and effortless. In short, it means savoring life’s pleasures.
Gouroo: the meaning
Our name is a marriage of two words: the French “gourmet,” meaning a connoisseur of food, and the Hindi “guru,” meaning teacher. Put these two together and you get the playfully misspelled “Gouroo” — a word that’s more than a cheeky name.
Preserving Yerevan's history
The Gouroo lifestyle is one of consciousness, and that’s reflected in the history of our beautiful location. Our restaurant lives in the historic home of Varazdat Haroutunian and Gohar Kankanian, renowned Armenian architects of the twentieth century.
