Ethiopia Food Guide: 10 Mediterranean food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Addis Ababa
Reviews on Mediterranean food in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Sometimes referred to as the capital of Africa, Addis Ababa is a buzzing hub of economic, social and political activity and home to such notable offices as the African Union and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. The diversity of its people is reflected in the many churches, mosques and museums, including the Ethiopian National Museum which houses the fossilized skeleton of Dinkinesh, or Lucy, the Australopithecine discovered in the area in the 1970s.

Excellent spot to drop in for lunch or dinner. The coffee is excellent, in particular the macchiato which you can have extra strong! I am in love with the falafel wrap and the shawarma (shawarma only available on certain days at this location as the expert moves between bole and kazanches limetree locations). We love the cool atmosphere and the high table with stools. Located just behind the boston day spa building on bole.

They have a nice variety of food - international and local Ethiopian options and a good beer & wine selection.The staff is very friendly and forthcoming. They prepare the food in an open kitchen with a good attention to detail. Also, the chefs are directly accessible and super responsive to any special wishes you may have!Thank you so much for your detailed observations and taking the time to leave us your feedback.

A very small entrance plate, name tag barely visible, the outlooks of a farm. Not much on first sight, but please do enter: this cute little family run business prepares the best food in Ethiopia with the best music of Europe in a nice Greek setting. And how nice and polite the people are! And how great their handwritten menus to hold. Plus their Greek information gadgets are great to touch and hold.

Belvedere Restaurant came highly recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed when i went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Their outdoor seating and optional cozy inside restaurant coupled with the warm and friendly welcome by the owners and staff made us feel right at home. We ordered salad and salmon pasta and it definitely surpassed our expectation.Make sure to book in advance as seating can be sparse especially towards the evening.Their new place is located on the new Imperial to Hayahulet (22) road. Tip: Use Google maps with GPS guidance.

I visited Dok with my family and ordered combo, pizza and steak. The food in general is tasty and especially I liked the pizza. It is slim not thick, good cheese, tasty ingredients and I enjoyed the texture of the pizza. Indoor and out side seating is available. It is located in main Bole area where many other restaurants and shopping malls located. Parking is outside on the main road and it could be a challenge. in general, good food and service and definitely it is one of my choices for Pizza.

Slightly gidsen, but nice gated terrace. After having lived in Beirut and in love with Lebanese food, I was ready for my next culinairy adventure. Small menu, with solid names. Reality was not that great. All kind of flat in flavours. Regretably. I got the impression they do not a Lebanese chef who makes the food Lebanese.

Phenomenal international and Mediterranean
Reviewed By StraightTalker28
Considering where this restaurant is (Ethiopia) I ought to give it five stars for being something that really is a good imitation of an Italian restaurant. I went here twice and both times the pizzas that were served were crap, soggy after two minutes and too heavy, but other food was great. The risotto in particular was the highlight. I tried the mushroom one on one occasion and I also had a fork of the seafood one on another occasion and both of those were truly excellent. I wouldn't suggest that Gusto is the first place to which you must rush when in Addis Ababa, I would always prioritise local places, but for those stationed in the city long term and have had enough of shiro wot, this is a most definitely worth a visit.

This is a beautiful Italian restaurant. We are heading out to the countryside and wanted an upscale Italian meal before we left. Everything we ordered was fantastic! We shared the Squash Soup, then the beet salad and the osso bucco. Every bite was divine. The service was as god as the food.

Wonderful service. Came in alone and was welcomed right away. They helped me carry my bags in, gave me the WiFi password and helped me choose vegetarian options. I was here while breakfast was being served and they went out of their way to allow me to order off the lunch menu. A few months prior, I came in with a large group for a birthday, and they stayed open late for us, again with wonderful service. Highly recommend!Dear Valued Customer, Thank you so much for coming back again!!! We appreciate your feedback and sharing your experience with us and everyone.
