What’s one problem that everyone seems to have whenever we go out and about in the city? That everywhere gets so packed so quickly. Everyone is always following one another the newest bars and dining spots wanting to say they’ve been there. But isn’t it better to be one of the first of your friends to go somewhere?
So where is a new, soon-to-be hot place in Addis? Well Toro Grill & Lounge in Wollo Sefer. On the new strip of road built between Wollo Sefer and Urael, it conveniently stands out with its red and black design. As you enter, there are two levels. Downstairs that looks like it could be a friend’s house party you came to, but when you go upstairs, that’s where the magic is. Tables stretching over the entire upstairs, a bar with warm lighting, and seating placed in many comfortable locations. There are many different types of people you can bring with you. A date, a colleague for after work drinks, friends who you haven’t seen in a while, or even friends you see every day.
Coupled with the interior design, the food and drinks definitely match the vibe that it is trying to put across. What’s on the menu? Well, if you can imagine why they’d put the word “Grill” in their name, then you could make a pretty good guess about the type of food that they serve. Now this place is slightly pricey, but it’s worth it. If you’re there with friends, it’s highly recommended that you order the platter. Brought on with a wooden plate, it may not fill you up, but it will definitely have your mouth watering.
The beef they serve is not only seasoned for a King’s pallet, but also comes with its soft, tender texture. The chicken (the leg and thigh served) is well marinated and tastes like it has been preparing for you to take a bite for the last three days. The steak sandwich is served with a homemade sweet mayonnaise, giving it a tang that’ll leave a delicious after taste in your mouth.
Whether you’re going there for a dinner party, or just to get drinks after work, this is a place that anyone would thoroughly enjoy. You are guaranteed to leave with a happy face and a full belly.
