While some recent additions to Little Addis Ababa have stressed homeland décor over nouveau design, Cafe
Ibex determinedly plays the New World card. Sure, the food is traditional—colorful veggie and meat platters served on
(and with) injera, Ethiopia’s spongy flatbread that doubles as a dining utensil—but the trappings scream Modern
Restaurant Monthly. A few touristy posters punctuate the sand-colored walls while a sparkling bar helps Ibex fulfill its
lounge aspirations. The back room plays host to dance performances, live DJs, and other cultural events, mostly on Fridays
and Saturdays; call ahead for this weekend’s schedule.( 206) 721 7537.
