La Mandoline

Delicious French cuisine. Great outdoor seating area. Breakfast on weekends. In 2020 food here was great but not cheap. Main course plus a few drinks and dessert cost $60-70 for two.

Address: Chechenia, next to Caravan Hotel

2000 Habesha Cultural Restaurant
Habesha 2000
One of Addis Ababa's famous cultural restaurants, it has traditional singing and dancing at night. If you're feeling brave, try the gored gored (cubes of heavily salted and spiced raw beef). Waiters are well mannered and kind, and most are very talented dancers. Features a large buffet with many kinds of wat/wot (Ethiopian stew), injera, shiro, vegetables, and other dishes. Their "fasting" menu (meatless or vegan dishes typically served to religiously observant diners) is excellent and will satisfy most vegetarians and vegans.
