Restaurants in Asmara
The restaurants offer good value for money and all offer fast, efficient and friendly
service. Italian cuisine and traditional Eritrean food complement each other.
Eritreans tend to eat early. therefore there is a good chance most
options on the menu will be 'finished' if you choose for a late diner. You can
show your appreciation for the cook's work with the Tigrinya word tu'um
(delicious).
On this page we show a selection of popular
restaurants in Asmara and some menu listings as an example. The major hotels
also offer a selection of both traditional and international cuisine. Exploring
Asmara you may find unexpected value for money by entering some of the small
restaurants popular by the Eritreans. You will be treated as a special guest.

Cherhi Recreation Center, build in 1983, resembles an air traffic control
