At <strong>Abissinia<\/strong>, there are no formal tables, standard linens, or silver utensils, but rather traditional Ethiopian ottoman-style stools with food\u00a0served on top of hourglass-shaped straw tables and picked up by hand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Both their meat and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/vegetarian-eixample\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vegetarian dishes<\/a> carry a flavorful kick with each bite. Their recipes date back 2000 years and use exotic spices and traditional Ethiopian bread. Diners tear off the bread and dip it into the flavors to soak in the meat and veggies before eating. It might get a bit messy, but it&#8217;s well worth it for the taste.
