Addis Ababa: Food, Culture, and Coffee Tour with Views

Discover the heart of Addis Ababa on a full-day tour. Taste authentic Ethiopian dishes, explore local markets, learn pottery-making, and enjoy a coffee ceremony.
Start your day with a traditional Ethiopian breakfast, choosing from genfo, chechebsa, firfir, or fasting dishes. Sip on fresh juice and Ethiopian herbal tea as you savor the flavors.

Next, head to a local market, where farmers bring fresh spices, grains, herbs, and colorful produce. Your guide will introduce you to injera variations, teff, berbere blends, and local fermentations like tella and areki (explanations only).

Continue to a pottery community compound, where you learn how Ethiopian clay pots (jebena, dist, mitad) are made using traditional hand techniques. Try shaping the clay yourself and see how this craft connects to Ethiopian cooking and daily life.

For lunch, enjoy a multi-regional food tasting featuring dishes from across the country — Gurage, Oromo, Amhara, Tigray, and Southern specialties — at a hidden cultural restaurant chosen for authenticity, not for tourists.

Then participate in a full Ethiopian coffee ceremony, learning roasting, grinding, incense, and brewing rituals. This intimate session includes tasting three rounds of coffee (abol, tona, baraka) and understanding the cultural meaning.

Finally, drive up through the eucalyptus forest to Entoto Natural Park for panoramic views over the entire Addis Ababa skyline. Visit hidden viewpoints known mostly by locals, walk a short scenic path, or simply relax and enjoy the highland air.
