Ararat
The pizzeria at Lochergut is our refuge after a long night: at Ararat we satisfy our craving for hearty food! For little money we get a doner kebab that is worth the money: while the ratio of lettuce, tomatoes, sauce and meat is not always quite right at other stalls, Ararat has simply got the hang of it.
