Best Cafés In Ethiopia | Top Ethiopian Cafes Around Addis Ababa



It seems like there is a new cafe on every corner of Addis Ababa or other major city in Ethiopia. But finding the best cafes in Ethiopia is harder than it sounds. We all have different taste and what might seem like the best cafe for us, might just be the worst one for our friends. But most of us can find a common and similar value among the best cafes in Ethiopia. Neatness, hospitality, location and price (not for all) might be decisive factors on which ones we consider to be the best cafes in Ethiopia. As the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa has the widest selection of Cafés in Ethiopia. Cafes and Restaurants in Addis Ababa are generally criticized for being too pricey compared to other major cities. But that shouldn’t come as a surprise considering life in Addis Ababa is generally more expensive than other major Ethiopian cities.
The menu on most of the Cafés in Ethiopia might be similar but there is no question every cafe has their own way of preparing food. I usually choose Cafés to drink macchiato and tea but not eat fast food such as burger and pizza. I recommend eating pizza in pizza and pizzeria places,  burger in burger houses and Kitfo in Kitfo Houses. Although some cafes can excel in making these particular Ethiopian Dishes, it would be great to experience the general feel of Kitfo houses, burger joints and pizza houses.
So whether you’re looking for the best cafes which provide dish at a fair price, or just the best cafes providing the best cuisine at any price, you can check out a number of websites for a list of top cafes in Ethiopia. I have provided one Ethiopian Accommodation and Hotel directory Website, another website specializing in African countries and off course, TripAdvisor.com, an international review website.

Check out Dallol Volcano, Hottest place in the world | Zagwe Tour

Dallol (Amharic: ዳሎል) was a settlement in northern Ethiopia. Located in Administrative Zone 2 of the Afar Region in the Afar Depression, it has a latitude and longitude of 14°14′19″N 40°17′38″E with an elevation of about 130 meters below sea level. The Central Statistical Agency has not published an estimate for this settlement's 2005 population; it has been described as a ghost town.
Dallol currently holds the record high average temperature for an inhabited location on Earth, where an average annual temperature of 35°C (96°F) was recorded between the years 1960 and 1966. Dallol is also one of the most remote places on Earth. There are no roads; the only regular transport service is provided by camel caravans which travel to the area to collect salt.
Nearby is the Dallol volcano, which last erupted in 1926.

Description of Dallol

The Danakil Desert is located between the Ethiopian plateau and the Red Sea. The salt plain near Dallol is the lowest part at 116 metres below sea level.
In prehistoric times, the territory was in the form of a gulf. According to geologists, this is a sea bed that emerged for a brief moment in the history of the planet; the Afar depression will in fact form a future ocean with the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
This geological anomaly means that the entire area is very unstable. There are numerous active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes, /together with secondary manifestations such as the stupendous colours of the salt surfaces, caused by the geysers with their various different chlorides.
This inhospitable territory is home to nomadic sheep-herding Afar people.
This tribe has a strong sense of its own identity and enjoys a notable degree of autonomy in its land. The Afar live from their animals, agriculture and the sale of salt that they extract from the salt lakes of the Danakil depression. The salt is loaded onto camels and sold in the markets of the highlands.
