About Riverside Cafe

Riverside Café was founded with the vision of creating a serene oasis in the heart of Addis Ababa, offering guests a unique dining experience beside a peaceful river. Our modern, glass-walled building allows natural light to fill the space and provides breathtaking views of the surrounding greenery and flowing water. Our mission is to combine quality food and exceptional service in a relaxing atmosphere that appeals to locals and visitors alike. We proudly serve a mix of local Ethiopian dishes and international favorites, complemented by expertly brewed Ethiopian coffee and a variety of refreshing beverages.

At Riverside Café, we believe food is not just nourishment, but a way to bring people together. Our chefs source fresh, local ingredients whenever possible, crafting each dish with care to delight your taste buds and nourish your body. Whether you’re here for a quick coffee, a casual lunch, or a special occasion, we strive to make every moment memorable. We are deeply committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. From using eco-friendly packaging to minimizing food waste, we take conscious steps to protect the beautiful river and surroundings that inspire us daily.

Beyond food and drink, Riverside Café is a community hub. We regularly host small cultural events, art exhibits, and live music sessions to celebrate local talent and foster connections among our guests. Whether you visit us to relax, work, meet friends, or enjoy a family outing, you’ll find a warm and welcoming environment designed with your comfort in mind. Thank you for being part of our story — we look forward to welcoming you soon!
