Restaurants with national cuisine, Mediterranean trattorias, Turkish cafes, pizzerias, teahouses, grill bars, Japanese restaurants - the choice of establishments is great.
If you do not want to interrupt your walk along the ancient narrow streets or wide avenues, the best snack will be kutabs - national fast food reminiscent of chebureks. They are prepared with any filling - from pumpkin to camel meat. In the best cafes of Baku such pleasure costs 1 AZN.
For a more thorough meal you can visit one of the inexpensive cafes in Baku. Their prices are about the same - a hearty lunch will cost 4-8 AZN.
Would you like to taste national dishes - green turshu-siyyig, cold soup ovdukh, first-second sulu-hingal or dolmasi stuffed cabbage? Check out Azeri House, Araz, Firuze, Sumakh, Mugham Club or Shirvanshah restaurants. The latter is a restaurant-museum with an authentic Baku street, trade shop, paving stones and household artifacts.
And if you miss European cuisine, welcome to Oliva, Opera Lounge, Phaeton and Chocolate restaurants. Here you can order both European and national dishes from mutton, beef, poultry, Caspian fish, fresh fruits and vegetables.
If you want to dine in the company of the presidents' children, go to the designer restaurant Chinar.
The average price of lunch in inexpensive restaurants in Baku is 24-50 AZN.
And for dessert it is better to go to Pakhlava teahouse, where for 5-12 AZN you can eat baklava, parvarda, dried fruits, drinking them with blue or white tea. Or use the services of "teahouse-taxi" - a teahouse on wheels, where you can drink tea, have a snack, play board games and even watch an interesting movie.
