For twenty years, Rendez-Vous has been serving up authentic African cuisine through an authentic African experience. This restaurant was one of the very first Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurants in the city, and is now a neighbourhood highlight on The Danforth strip. The Ethiopian fare includes special tibs dishes (a spicy stir fry and soup), topped with anything from beef chunks to couscous to fried veggies. Other house specials on the menu are the traditional injera (a crepe-like bread) served with spicy lentils, a variety of fish dishes and sandwiches. But it's not just the food that makes Rendez-Vous so special. This restaurant shows off some important cultural practices of Ethiopia, including a coffee ceremony performed right at the table. During the ceremony, traditional organic beans are roasted in a pan over open flame, grinded in a wooden mortar and pestle, and put through a sieve several times. Rendez-Vous is more than a restaurant; it’s a celebration of traditional culture.
