Yod Abyssinia
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
The read// why locals go
Yod Abyssinia is Addis Ababa's best-known cultural restaurant, pairing traditional Ethiopian cooking on Bole Road with live music and dance. The performance is the concept rather than a garnish: the evening runs to a programme of regional song and dance from across Ethiopia while the platters of injera and stews come out, which is why this is where families bring visitors and mark occasions. Around ETB 180 a head. There is outdoor seating, and it opens for dinner only, so it is an evening out rather than a quick plate — go with a group and plan to stay a while.
