This tour is a foodie’s dream – be sure to arrive hungry! Walk through 3,000 years of flavour on this afternoon tour of the capital.

Explore Ethiopian culture through local cuisine and enjoy some of the best food you can find in Addis. You’ll explore a rapidly developing neighborhood in the heart of the city and visit three restaurants, each serving a wide variety of traditional and modern dishes to tuck in to.

During the tour we will also stop at a small shop for a contemporary coffee ceremony; a practice fundamental to the fabric of Ethiopian society. The beans are roasted, ground by hand using mortar and pestle, then brewed over the coals in a clay pot known as a jebena. Three cups of coffee are poured out, each with Biblical names, finishing with ‘the blessing’.

If you’d rather have a private tour for an additional flat fee of $75 USD, simply select this option when booking. We’ll collect you, guide you through a fully customized tour suited to your preferences and interests, and drop you off afterwards.
