Ethiopian restaurants in Ethiopia

  1. A

    Unique Restaurant

    Opposite the Asheton Hotel, this dark and understated little restaurant, serving cheap and tasty Ethiopian dishes, has received rave reviews from a number of readers.

    Hirut Restaurant

    A cheery, authentic place to savour Ethiopian dishes as well as pasta and various grills. Sink your teeth into a superfilling kwanta firfir and knock it all down with a bottle of Gouder wine, if you're game. The dining room is cosy but the shady terrace is a sure winner. Service was a tad amateurish the day we popped in.

  3. 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.

    Dashen Traditional Restaurant

    The soft lighting and intimate surrounds are perfect for your first awkward attempts at injera. It saved us from embarrassment after accidentally inhaling berbere - don't ask! It's off Itegue Taitu St.

    Shangri-la Restaurant

    An atmospheric place for tere sega (raw meat), which is available on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. There's an outdoor dining area and a cosy bar serving quality tej.

    Habesha Restaurant

    For a meal that looks as good as it tastes, come to this fashionable Bole eatery where serving is an art form. There's also live music and traditional dancing every night at 20:00.

    Agelgil

    Off Meskal Flower Rd, tucked down a dirt track next to the railway tracks, is this great option. There's live dancing and music every night (except Wednesday) at 19:00.

    This local, atmospheric option is usually alive with action. The food isn't the best, but it's filling and cheap. Look for lights in a tree next to a well-lit butcher.

    Addis Ababa Restaurant

    Feeling like a neglected museum, this long-standing Piazza favourite continues to churn out great Ethiopian dishes and pure tej (it has its own brewery).

  12. Megenagna Hotel

    Locals claim it serves Lalibela's best fasting food. We were still recovering from our quiche and couldn't confirm these claims.

    Mini Fogera

    The cushion-covered cement stalls won't win your bottom's approval, but its Ethiopian fare just might win your stomach's.

  14. J

    Affinity Bar & Restaurant

    Popular with local businessmen for an Ethiopian meal at lunch. Dine inside or on the parking-lot-looking patio.

    Canal Cafe

    Near Harar Gate, this is another treasure-trove for carb-lovers, although the setting is more down-at-heel.

    reviewed

  16. L

    Alpha Cafeteria & Restaurant

    The best place for a cheap stodge, behind the Shell petrol station. Try its Harari soup.

  17. Hotel Tsahayi

    This hotel makes the town's best grub. Its bedrooms (around Br10) are dark and dank.

  18. Megabi Cafeteria

    Pleasant thatched pavilions. Decent tibs.
