So they substituted something else. The injira bread was light and thin, perfect. Delicious and filling. If you are interested in coffee, try their Cafe Gourmond which includes three little desserts with the coffee for only a euro more than one dessert. Vegan and vegetarian both. Warning. The neat dishes are very spicy.

Even dining the first night, we went around 5 pm, I was so sad no one but us was in there, but by 6:30-7 pm, people were rolling in and I was so happy that it was getting the recognition it deserved; by the next day going back again it was packed! Parking would be sorta easy to find, and the decor highlights the natural beauty of Eritrea, in a small mom/pop shop style. Extremely homey and cozy feel with attentive hospitality.

Vibe was romantic, but not overly so--perfect for our intimate dinner party. **Note for Glutards (Gluten free/sans gluten): While injera is traditionally gluten free, this one IS made with a teff/wheat flour blend, so it is NOT gluten-free/sans gluten. (Most Ethiopian restaurants serve wheat-blended injera, which helps the bread keep its structure.)

Food/drink: I love that we were served some little nibbles (peanut snack mix) to start. We started with the local wine as an aperitif; it's sweet and slightly fermented. And we ordered our 2 favorite Ethiopian dishes. 1) The qey wat, a spicy beef in sauce, large portion, was nicely spiced with a little heat; it even came with some cheese for a slightly tangy flavor. 2) The vegetarian platter, which had 7 different dishes including 3 different lentils, cabbage, sweet beets, spinach, and salad. The injera was thinner/spongier than what I'm used to, and we had to ask for more twice, but we definitely were nicely stuffed by the end. Service: It's a mom and pop shop, which gives it charm. We were attended to as needed and, given the small size, had no problem finding the host/server when we needed him. Ambiance: This was the fun part! The restaurant was unassuming and almost hidden on a mostly residential street. Inside is the size of a (large) living room; one side had communal style seating with traditional Ethiopian table settings, where most guests sat. Add in the Ethiopian music videos in the background and it felt like an experience! A charming "hole in the wall" spot. Tip: it's small, seats ~6 parties, and pretty close quarters (that includes the bathroom, which is right next to wear people eat, so plan accordingly.)

I'm sorry I'm not being more descriptive, but because the menu was in French (and none of us speak French very well), our waitress helped us out by asking us a few questions and then picking out what she thought would be best for us. I have to say, she did a fantastic job. I loved everything on the platter. If you've never had Ethiopian food before, Lac Tana isn't a bad place to start. For the four of us, the bill ended up being approximately €52. I think it was a steal! Cute little hole-in-the-wall restaurant, fantastic service and even better food!
