Addis Ababa Food & Market Tour – A Feast for the Senses
Ethiopian cuisine is a celebration of bold flavors, communal dining, and centuries-old traditions. Our Addis Ababa Culinary Tour takes you deep into the city’s food culture, from bustling spice markets to hidden local eateries.
Your journey begins at a lively spice market, where vendors display vibrant piles of berbere, mitmita, and other essential Ethiopian seasonings. Learn how these spices form the foundation of the country’s iconic dishes before sampling street food favorites like tibs (sautéed meat), kitfo (spiced minced beef), and crispy sambusas.
The highlight of the tour is a hands-on cooking class in a local home, where you’ll learn to prepare injera (Ethiopia’s sourdough flatbread) and savory stews such as doro wat (spicy chicken stew). After cooking, enjoy a traditional meal with your hosts, followed by a coffee ceremony showcasing Ethiopia’s world-famous beans.
No culinary exploration is complete without tasting tej, Ethiopia’s honey wine. Visit a traditional tej bet (honey wine bar) to sample this sweet, fermented drink before ending your tour with a deeper appreciation for Ethiopia’s rich gastronomic heritage.
