The Experience
The tour begins at 4pm in the Atlas neighborhood with a welcome drink or coffee, then moves on foot to a family-owned restaurant known for vegetarian dishes. As you walk between stops, your guide shares information about Addis Ababa's history and culture. The route takes you to the city's most famous meat house next, followed by a fish restaurant, with coffee and fresh juice served as you go. At each stop you'll taste beers from different parts of Ethiopia.
Five distinct tastings make up the afternoon: vegetarian specialties, beef dishes, fresh fish, coffee and juice, with Ethiopian beers threaded through the stops. The walking pace is moderate and the guide leads the group through neighborhoods on foot, so you're moving between each venue rather than being transported. A minimum of two people per booking is required, and the tour operates with a live English-speaking guide.
The tour wraps around 8pm after the juice stop. Vegetarian options are available if you let the operator know at booking. Children from age 5 can join if accompanied by an adult. If you need help arranging a taxi to the starting point, call +251 92 404 4006.
