fort sauce for a main and a crème brûlée for dessert and you won't know you're not in La
Belle France. The French owner works in the kitchen and stalks the dining area checking
everything is just perfect. And, frankly, it pretty much is.

( 0111-8622632; Ring Rd; mains Birr80-120) From the outside this new place actually
looks a bit run-down, but first impressions deceive. Step inside and relish some of the best
Italian food in the city all served in a light and airy environment that's smart without be-
ing formal. There's an impressive wine list (around Birr420 for the average bottle).

( 0115-513154; Gabon St; mains Birr50-70; 11.30am-3pm & 6.30-11pm) This au-
thentic Indian-run restaurant specialises in tandoori dishes, but whatever you opt for is
certain to tickle your taste buds in just the right way. And what a treat it is to taste spicy
food with texture and form rather than just heat!

( 0911-225019; off Cape Verde St; pizzas Birr60-90, pasta Birr50-60; noon-2.30pm
& 6-10pm) Watch chefs manoeuvre airborne dough while you wait for your delectable
thin-crust pizza at this upscale Italian option. There are two-dozen pizzas on the menu -
toppings range from anchovies and capers to prosciutto and sausage. We reckon it has the
capital's best pizzas. They also do the only home-delivery service in Addis. There's also a
bar downstairs that comes alive in the evening.

( 0115-518358; Bole Rd; mains Birr60-80; noon-3pm & 6pm-2am) For an Ethiopi-
an meal that looks as good as it tastes, come to this Bole eatery where serving seems to be
an art form. After a flurry of handwork, our injera was beautifully laden with everything
from gored gored (raw beef cubes with awazi, which is a kind of mustard and chilli sauce)
to vegetarian fasting food. There's also live music and traditional dancing every night at
8pm. This is the perfect place for your first taste of Ethiopia.
