Addis Ababa

Our Addis Ababa food tour offers guests a culinary experience around the city's medina. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Addis Ababa tastemakers. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian and halal diets as the number of tastings would be very limited. ✔ Suitable for no pork and no seafood diets, and mild nut allergies. ✔ Gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance possible though some tastings do not have alternatives available and the menu would be more limited If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

Addis Ababa

Discover a different side of Addis Ababa on this four-hour evening food experience in the Haya Hulet neighbourhood. Across 5–6 curated stops and 12+ tastings, you’ll sample a wide range of Ethiopian flavours. While menus vary depending on season and availability, highlights often include tender beef sautéed with berbere spices, colourful beyaynetu platters served over tangy injera, and kitfo, finely minced beef seasoned with warming mitmita, paired with fresh cottage cheese and sautéed greens. You may also try comforting duba quanta and tihilo, roasted barley dough dipped into rich lamb stew. Ethiopian meals often include a drink, and this tour introduces you to traditional beverages such as honey wine, tella (a home-style grain brew), and areke, a local spirit. And no Ethiopia meal would be complete with out a traditional buna ceremony which highlights one of the countries oldest coffee traditions. This is an immersive, after-hours introduction to Addis Ababa’s food culture.
