What To Expect

DC Metro Food Tours
The Little Ethiopia Food Tour was specially designed for the adventurous eater. Some of the restaurants we visit are ‘hole in the wall’ spots, that focus on the quality and authenticity of the food, rather than the particular ambience of the restaurant. All of the restaurants were built and maintained through hard work and perseverance that resonates the pride of a people that have faced adversity yet managed to succeed.

We will traverse through the center of Ethiopian life in Washington DC, located in the heart of the historic U Street and Shaw Neighborhoods. The 19th century neighborhood houses some of the area's very best and most authentic Ethiopian restaurants.
Your Food Tour may include the following specialties:
• Traditional breakfast
• The Ethiopian National dish
• Deep fried lentil appetizers
• Fresh cottage cheese
• Homeade breads
• Coffee ceremony
• Traditional meat and vegetable dishes
• Hand Made hot sauces and spice blends
• Italian influenced Desserts

3 hours • Admission Ticket Free

Chris was very knowledgeable, not just about Ethiopia and its food, but so many other cuisines and locations as well. The food was delicious and very plentiful. Highly recommend this tour!
Fabulous Tour

Chris was a superb guide. He has a wealth of information about Ethiopian cuisine and DC. Even though I was familiar with Ethiopian food, I learned a lot from this tour. And, I found some new Ethiopian restaurants that I will definitely return to for dinner. This is this tour I've taken from DC Metro Food Tours and I highly recommend them.
A great introduction to Ethiopian food

Chris, a long-term DC resident, was a great guide, knowledgeable not only about Ethiopian food and culture but also about DC and wider US history. My husband and I were part of a small group of 6 people. We visited three restaurants and tasted a variety of different dishes over a period of just over 3 hours. We had a good time sampling the food, learning about it and having interesting generalconversations with the other members of the group. It felt well-paced, and we had a very pleasant morning.
We went to U Street to...
