GOOD FOOD STARTS WITH WHAT YOU ENJOY

# Best Ethiopian food Footscray: find your favourite.

The best plate for you depends on what you love to eat. Perhaps it is a richly sauced bite, the browned edge of meat or the chance to try several vegetables together. Start with that preference and let it lead you towards something new.

Use this Taste of Ethiopia guide to compare three different starting points. Read what is on each photographed plate, then ask the team about the preparation available for your visit.

MAKE IT A TASTING, NOT A GUESS

## One bite tells you *where to go next.*

Take a small first taste before adding a condiment. Notice whether you want more sauce, a fresher vegetable bite or the tang of another piece of injera. Once you find two things you enjoy, try them together.

For a shared table, choose contrasting textures instead of several very similar plates. A stew and a vegetable serving give you different places to begin. Ask the team how much to order for your group; a photograph does not establish the serving size.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

## A little more *to go on.*

**Which option should I choose if I prefer less chilli?**

Tell the team your preference before ordering. The heat depends on the current dish, sauce and condiments; colour alone does not tell you how spicy a serving will be.

**Can I choose a fully cooked meat preparation?**

Ask for fully cooked meat and confirm each preparation before ordering. Some Ethiopian dishes, including kitfo-style preparations, may also be offered raw or lightly cooked.

## Your favourite is waiting to be discovered.

Open a plate guide, take a closer look and choose what sounds good to you.
