Kumukuma Restaurant – Hospitality & Culinary Tourism / Inecobank

Located in the heart of Gyumri—Armenia’s second-largest city and one of its most prominent cultural and tourist destinations—Kumukuma Restaurant has earned a reputation for blending tradition with innovation. Gyumri is known for its rich history, artistic spirit, and architectural heritage, and Kumukuma captures this essence by merging old and new in its concept, design, and culinary experience.

The restaurant welcomes guests into a space where carefully curated interiors reflect the character of Gyumri, while skilled chefs present traditional Armenian dishes with a creative European twist. Whether it’s a familiar flavor presented in a new way or an unexpected combination that delights the palate, Kumukuma offers an experience that is both rooted in culture and open to the world.

As part of its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, Kumukuma recently invested in a rooftop solar photovoltaic system with a capacity of 40.7 kW. This investment, implemented with support from the EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line, has enabled the restaurant to reduce its electricity costs, improve energy independence, and minimize its carbon footprint. The installation contributes to compliance with EU Directive 2018/2001 on the promotion of renewable energy and supports the broader transition toward greener hospitality in Armenia.

Kumukuma stands as a model for how local businesses in the tourism and hospitality sector can elevate the visitor experience while embracing sustainable practices. It is a place where guests discover the flavors of Armenia in a refined and welcoming atmosphere—and where tradition meets the future.
