Such a great place ! I found it by chatting with an ethiopian taxi driver in Montreal. Very authentic cuisine, but not as spicy as the original, which would be unbearable for an occidental palate.

Le personnel est très chaleureux & le décor est magnifique!! Le seul petit hic est que je trouve les portions très petite pour le prix. Sinon, les viandes & légumes ont très bon goût!!

Bon, comme avant. On avait assez à manger. Les vins africains sont de bonne qualité Le Chenin blanc est très agréable. Les cocktails sont toutefois moins généreux qu'auparavant & peut-être moins excellents. Les desserts sont très bons. Le service est agréable, & le lieu, calme, un dimanche soir, très agréable aussi. À quatre, avec vins, cocktails & desserts, on s'en est tiré à 70 $ par personne.
