Addis Ababa Food & Drink Guide | 6 Months of Delicious Research! 😋
📍 Why Addis? At 2,300m altitude and 20°C year-round, it’s the perfect pitstop for tired travelers. Reward yourself with Ethiopian jazz, legendary coffee, and century-old Italian pastries—it’s so worth it! 🍷 1. Bars, Clubs & Cafés 1️⃣ African Jazz Village (Ghion Hotel) Mulatu Astatke (Godfather of Ethiopian jazz!) plays live every Friday. Eargasm guaranteed. 🎷 2️⃣ Fendika Since the 90s! Live music + free art gallery. A mix of locals, expats, and hippies—vibes immaculate. 🌟 3️⃣ Tomoca Coffee (1953) Ethiopia’s oldest coffee chain. No seats—just stand and savor the richest brews. ☕ 4️⃣ Golden Coffee Near Rwanda Market, popular with Chinese visitors. Their Yirgacheffe beans make perfect gifts! 5️⃣ La Vie En Rose (Next to Golden Coffee) Hidden gem for desserts & meals—less crowd, more flavor. 🍰 6️⃣ Enrico Pastry (1946!) Italian legacy: Pay first, get plastic tokens, then collect warm chocolate cakes/puff pastries. (Skip the coffee!) 7️⃣ Gâteau Bakery (Near old airport) French-owned, with air-flown European cheeses/salami. White-approved—fancy but worth it. 🧀 🍽️ 2. National Dish: Injera Feast 2000 Habesha & Yod Abyssinia Cultural shows + massive platters. Tourist-friendly but fun!
