Marcus Addis Restaurant & Sky Bar - Marcus Samuelssons' first Africa-based restaurant! A fusion of his world renowned international cuisine with an unforgettable Ethiopian twist. Known for amazing cocktails!

HOTTO Restaurant - Modern contemporary Japanese-inspired Asian fusion with bespoke locally sourced ingredients. Chef Daniel has a wealth of experience, from starting his career as part of the opening team at Sheraton Addis, to Head Chef at Sheraton Belgravia in London to crafting a five-star dining experience at 40,000 ft for Etihad Airways.

Sishu Burger - A favourite when we were in high school. Forewarning: it is located close to a slaughterhouse so the smell outside the building is a bit off putting but don't let that deter you!

Embwa Creamery - Located next to Sishu and owned by our former high school soccer coach. Another fun fact, Yoseph helped to build the creamery!

Yod Abyssinia Traditional Restaurant - A great option if you would like to try traditional Ethiopian food, injera! You can also enjoy some cultural dancing on some evenings, call ahead to ask if there are performances happening in the evening.

2000 Habesha Cultural Restaurant - Another great option for traditional Ethiopian food.

Koba Patisserie and Bakery - Great brunch food and multiple locations across the city!

MK's - Delicious pizza. If you want a spicy kick, order a side of green chili sauce called "data". Don't pronounce it as the English "data" instead try "dataa" and swap the sound of t with d.

Munch German Bakery - Best croissants in the city, possibly one of the best croissants we have ever had! They also have a yummy breakfast selection.

Arirang Korean Restaurant - Located close to our old school and a favourite for delicious and authentic Korean food. Highly recommend checking out if you are staying in the area!

Tivoli Restaurant - Another after school favourite. Known for their pizza and 'tibs', a local dish of seared beef tips with onion, rosemary and garlic that is served with injera.

Guaro Grill - Order the steak!
