Tatiana from Barcelona

About me Hi, I'm Tatiana. I am a Russian by birth, Spanish by blood but a traveller by heart. Until now I have always been on the move for some kind of reason. I think I have inherited these traits from my father… who was always planning our next move or travel. Travelling is the great true love of my life.

Addis Abeba Barcelona

Ethiopian gastronomic journey

""Addis Abeba" in Barcelona is an Ethiopian restaurant that is a true gastronomic journey. I recommend the menu de degustation to try a bit of everything."

Once I discovered this little hidden place not far from Sants station I fell in love. Stepping inside I already felt as if I was in Ethiopia; the smell, the decoration, the music, the staff...

I was welcomed with a smile and was invited to sit on one of the tables which they call "mesob", made of colorful straw and following the traditional style which have a lid that opens only at lunchtime.

Opening the menu was a discovery in itself. I could see meat options as well as vegetarian ones. What most attracted me was the "menu de degustation" which offered a selection of dishes.
The menu is served on Ethiopia's typical bread called injeera, like a big (but thin) pancake. On this pancake you will find a small sample of various dishes they offer, like for example "Aib", fresh cheese with a special dressing which is slightly spicy or "Segawot", strips of stewed veal in onion and tomato jam.

In Ethiopia, and in this restaurant too, it is a custom to eat with your hands (preferably with the right) and without using any cutlery. It is also a sign of respect and affection to feed another person at the table. So grab a slice of injeera and take a bite of the Ethiopian treats that will take you for a whole gastronomical experience!
