Wednesday night, I went out with Kendra and her co-workers in order to celebrate her upcoming birthday. We met up at the office of one of her co-worker's husbands (got that??) and sat around drinking pricey champagne & watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle. Not a bad start to the night. Then we were off to another bar for a quick drink before our reservations at Addis Abeba, an Ethiopian restaurant in the 9th.
I'd never had Ethiopian food before, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. There weren't many options on the menu, and we pretty much had a choice between the meat (17euros) or vegetarian plate (15 euros). After about half an hour, they brought out these huge family-style serving platters. This one was for four of us, and took up the whole table: But the best part was, there's no silverware involved! You get a plate full of these spongy crepes, and then you just tear a piece off:
and then use it to scoop up the food:It was a really fun experience and I'd definitely recommend trying it at least once. Though once you added in the wine & everything else, it was a bit too pricey for me to make it a regular on my list.
