The late-afternoon air in Addis Ababa has a dry, clean edge that seems to sharpen flavors as you walk. Start at 4pm with a welcome coffee in the Atlas neighborhood, where a local guide leads a compact group along narrow streets toward family-run restaurants, meat houses and a riverside fish spot. Each doorway opens onto a different chapter of Ethiopian cooking — vegetarian stews laced with berbere, slow-roasted beef cuts, fresh grilled fish and the bright finish of juice houses and coffee ceremonies.
