MAMA'S KITCHEN

It's the latest trendy place to go out and see a concert. To stay in, Mama's Kitchen has almost nixed its last open address, which was the most prominent in Addis Ababa, to inaugurate an even more lavish one, still in Bolé. With its high ceilings, luxurious ambience, upholstered armchairs and huge wrought-iron windows, the old place contrasts with this new 4,000^m2 outdoor space set in a pretty garden. Although the house has cut back on concerts of late, there's still the ethio jazz and jazz night on Mondays.
