Frequently asked questions
Best time for a business lunch?
12–2 PM (working lunch). Dinner 7–9 PM for less formal clients.
Do I need to reserve?
Yes — premium venues 1–2 days ahead. Hotel restaurants can take walk-ins but expect waits.
Quietest option?
Hotel restaurants (Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt). Spacious rooms, fewer guests.
Foreign client?
Pick an international-menu venue (Sumakh, hotel restaurants). Showcasing Azerbaijani cuisine is also a strong play.
