Addis Abeba

Ethiopian · Sants, Barcelona · €

Barcelona's most established Ethiopian restaurant, Addis Abeba in Sants is run by Abraham — host and public face of the room — with Nefsnesh leading the kitchen, a pairing that has held for two decades. Communal injera platters, eaten by hand from a shared teff sourdough base, anchor the format; berbere and mitmita drive the spice.

The Delekta Review

Run by Abraham — Ethiopian, host and public face of the room — with Nefsnesh on the line; Abraham previously managed another Ethiopian kitchen in the city

Communal table service — vividly coloured stews share a single platter of injera (teff sourdough flatbread) that doubles as plate and cutlery Mesob — the traditional woven straw table — sets the seating tone; vegetarian and vegan combinations sit on the menu alongside meat plates Ethiopian coffee ceremony at the table — green beans roasted in front of you, ground, and brewed with frankincense in the air

Dorowot (chicken in berbere stew); Segawot (beef stew); Atkelt (vegetable braise); Meser Kek (split-lentil stew with spice butter) Vegetarian combination platter — multiple stews around a single injera; pair with Ethiopian beer or honey wine

Communal-table service — stews share a single injera platter; the mesob (traditional woven basket table) is used for authentic presentation.

Combination plates from around €12.75; full tasting menus near €16.50 — among the strongest serious-meal value in the city
