Riverside Cafe
Riverside Café is a charming and modern destination located around Sarbet in Addis Ababa, just a short distance from the African Union headquarters. As its name suggests, the café is set beside a quiet river that flows gently through the area, offering a natural sense of peace and relaxation that is rare in the busy city. The building itself is beautifully designed with large glass walls that surround the entire structure, allowing visitors to enjoy uninterrupted views of the surrounding greenery, the river, and the open sky. The glass architecture creates an open and airy feel, filling the space with natural light during the day and offering a romantic atmosphere in the evening as the city lights begin to glow. Whether you are seated inside or at one of the outdoor tables, the view and fresh air add to the unique experience of dining or relaxing at Riverside Café.
The café offers a wide variety of food and drinks to satisfy both local and international tastes. Their menu features everything from fresh pastries, sandwiches, and wraps to burgers, pasta, and traditional Ethiopian dishes, all prepared with quality ingredients. For breakfast, guests can enjoy options like omelets, pancakes, and fresh-baked bread, while lunch and dinner bring heartier meals with generous portions. The drink selection is just as impressive, with expertly brewed Ethiopian coffee, a range of herbal and black teas, fresh fruit juices, smoothies, and soft drinks. In the evenings, Riverside Café is a great spot for enjoying a light snack or dessert while listening to the gentle sound of the river. Whether you come for a casual meal, a business meeting, or simply to unwind, Riverside Café combines great food, excellent service, and a beautiful setting to create a memorable experience.
