This well decorated place serves a variety of Western style dishes, and we had no problem with the food.

Quiet and quite charming place, serving surprisedly good international food, which is quite rare in Addis. Good steaks, reasonably good wines (also rare in Addis...), friendly service and a nice atmosphere.

I have tried this retaurant for almost four years - largely because it was close to my office! But a favourite place for most of my meetings.

We went to the Cottage on the advice of a friend who lived here in the late 1960s. Apparently, as a young expat, he convinced the Cottage management that Irish Coffee should be on the menu. Forty years later, the Irish coffee is still on the menu, and it is sublime. Ethiopian coffee is fantastic, and the whipped cream was... More
