Our Story
A sanctuary of taste in the heart of Bole
Gize Bar & Restaurant was born from a desire to elevate Addis Ababa's dining culture — pairing the warmth of Ethiopian hospitality with the precision of international fine dining. Behind Mega Building, our rooms glow with soft light, the bar hums with craft cocktails, and every plate tells a story of place and craft.
Whether you join us for a leisurely lunch, a celebratory dinner, or a night of live music, Gize is designed to feel cinematic, intimate, and unforgettable.
