What Matnakash is
Oval flatbread with a glazed top, the everyday bread.
Matnakash is listed as a bakery item in the Armenia guide, where the index tags it vegetarian and mild. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.

Matnakash is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Armenia. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
