Why go
Ethiopia offers walk-in Ethiopian dining on Rue du Chemin Vert with unusually long hours: 11 AM to midnight daily. The address trades reservation stress for flexibility, making it a practical choice when Paris's higher-profile tables are booked out. Go for lunch to gauge the kitchen, then return for the fasting menu or doro wat if it delivers.
About Ethiopia
Ethiopia is a casual venue in Paris with daily hours split into two windows: 11 AM–5 PM and 6 PM–12 AM.
The most useful confirmed detail is the schedule. Ethiopia is open every day from 11 AM to 5 PM, then again from 6 PM to midnight. Plan around the 5–6 PM break.
How It Fits in Paris
The specific Paris neighborhood or street location is not here, so Ethiopia is best described simply as a Paris option. If you are comparing it with other named restaurants in the city, you may also look at Le Servan and Erso, or browse other Paris dining rooms more generally.
For a first visit, the confirmed hours give you several possible arrival windows across the day and evening.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Ethiopia on Rue du Chemin Vert presents itself as a neighbourhood anchor rather than a destination for hype. The room is quietly vital, independently owned, rooted in community and sustained by regulars who prioritise cooking with cultural roots. The tone is unshowy and earnest: East African dishes arrive as the reason to come, not theatrical service or design frills. Because the restaurant receives little press attention compared with Paris’s grand-boulevard temples, it reads like a locally treasured spot where authenticity and familiarity shape the atmosphere more than trendiness.
Best For
This is a practical pick for casual lunches and relaxed dinners with friends or family. It has a steady local clientele. Group dining fits naturally here: the cuisine and community focus lend themselves to sharing plates and lingering at the table. Expect an unfussy, approachable service style consistent with independently run neighbourhood restaurants rather than upscale hotel dining.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the signature dishes that define the kitchen: order injera as the communal base and sample classics such as Doro Wot and Kitfo alongside Beyayennatou. Consider whether daytime or evening offerings better suit your appetite: menus can differ between services in neighbourhood kitchens like this. If you’re sharing, plan for dishes meant to be eaten family-style; otherwise, pick a few smaller plates to get a sense of the East African flavours anchored in this address.

Restaurant context
Ethiopia occupies the easiest-to-book slot among 11th arrondissement casual options. Double Dragon runs a similar price tier and accepts walk-ins, but the Pan-Asian menu and tighter hours make it less flexible for spontaneous meals. Le Servan and Erso both demand advance booking and charge €€, putting them in a different category entirely, go there when you want a composed tasting menu and don't mind planning ahead. Ethiopia is the inverse: lower cost, zero reservation pressure, and hours that accommodate late arrivals or mid-afternoon hunger.
For value, Ethiopia wins if you prioritise access over ambition. The kitchen won't compete with the neo-bistro wave that defines the neighbourhood's reputation, but it fills a gap those destinations ignore: reliable, affordable, walk-in dining with a cuisine underrepresented in Paris's casual tier. If Ethiopian food is unfamiliar, this is a lower-risk entry point than the city's few higher-end options. If you're already sold on the format, the extended hours make it a practical repeat-visit choice when logistics matter more than refinement.
