Thank you to Go Addis Tours (http://goaddistours.com/) for taking me on this amazing ultimate food and market tour of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Ethiopia is one of my favorite countries in the world for food and travel, and this was my second time to visit, and I was eager to explore and eat as much as possible.
We started early, 5 am in the morning and Go Addis Tours picked me up to start at the wholesale market. Even though the city is still sleeping, Addis Mercato is buzzing from 3 am when trucks full of produce from all over Ethiopia, sell them at the market in Addis Ababa. You’ll find all the ingredients, and massive amounts, that you need to cooking Ethiopian food. It was a good warm up, to get to know some of the ingredients, before starting the day eating Ethiopian food.
We had coffee, and breakfast, both of which were excellent. Later after visiting another market, Dessie took me to his neighborhood to eat shiro wat, one of the greatest of all Ethiopian foods, a thick and rich chickpea stew. I’ve had shiro wat many times before, but never have I seen it fully prepared right in front of me. The shiro was incredibly good, piled onto a bed of injera, and we also ordered fir fir, a mashup of injera, simmered with tomato sauce and berbere.
Next we headed to a fish restaurant in Addis Ababa. Ethiopia is landlocked, so all fish is freshwater. We ordered fried fish, and asa lebleb, a mixture of fish sauteed with spices and herbs. Both were excellent, but the asa lebleb was the highlight because it was so flavorful.
Next Ethiopian food meal we went to one of the longtime classic restaurants to eat one of the best platters of beyaynetu in Addis Ababa. Beyaynetu is a mix of vegetarian dishes. It was again, a delicious meal, I especially love the tomato salad there.
For our final meal of the day, and to finish off this extreme Ethiopian food tour, we went to one of the most well known and best quality meat restaurants in Addis Ababa to eat tere siga – raw meat. You are served a variety of chunks of raw beef, delicately sliced. Then you slice it into bite sized pieces on your own, wrap in injera, and dip into chili sauce before taking a bite. It’s awesome. The fried meat version is also very good.
This was an amazing day, and an amazing Ethiopian food tour in Addis Ababa. Thank you Go Addis Tours!

Anyone noticed that flag at 4:20 ? It's unbelievable that there're people who think Eritrea is part of Ethiopia . Respect Eritrean sovereignty. Nice video and great culture all around .
I think hes rubbing food in my face my stomach is grumbling for food
Hi Mark thank you for the video it’s amazing ? I never seen anyone enjoy the food and culture like you do thank you ? God bless you.. Ethiopa food , culture and the people is one of the best in the world ? I hope everyone can go to Ethiopa and enjoy our food and culture it’s great country ?
So much coffee for one morning?
dislike cause he touched the food with his hands instead of with the injera bread thing
I've got to say I did not enjoy Addis Ababa so much during my visit, I felt it was too crowded and not breathable. Other parts such as Lalibela, Arba Minch and the Omo Valley as well as Jinka were beautiful. We got to experience the different tribes of Ethiopia, the beautiful landscapes, the churches. The whole experience was mindblowing, not forgetting the great coffee.
That chick pea stew ?
why you using Lebanese coffee cups at 12:29
Amazing tour guide
This is one of your best videos ever! I think this is my 5th time watching. The food looks incredible and even the smiles and good vibes are infectious. I end up smiling the whole time I’m watching. The guys with Go Addis seem so cool. Absolutely love this video! ???
