Food Scene
One of a must visit place in Addis to get a glimpse of Ethiopian traditional music and dance aside from a local cuisine. You can try 'Tej' a local wine made of honey. The Sound a bit loud though. A lot of ATMs and POS available. You should try the ' Beyaynet' if you are a vegan and the ' Mehaberawi' if you ar not.
