  2. Abinet Hotel

    If you ask locals where the best place to eat is, they'll say Remhai. But if you ask them where they like to eat, they'll say Abinet. The spaghetti and the array of Ethiopian dishes are quite good. Be aware that restaurants tend to wrap things up early in Aksum, with most places being closed or out of food by 20:00.

  15. Africa Hotel

    If they didn't always run out of food in the early evening, this place would be more recommended. The bread and local honey is a perfect way to start the day.
