How to Book

Booking a table at Paradiso takes about a minute. Call us on +251 11 662 3344, or simply walk in to Bole Road and speak to whoever is at the door.

Step one

Call or walk in

Ring +251 11 662 3344 during opening hours, or come by the restaurant on Bole Road. Either way you will speak to a person, not a form.

Step two

Tell us the details

Give us your date, your time and how many are in your party. If anyone needs milder dishes or vegetarian plates, mention it now and the kitchen will plan for it.

Step three

We confirm and hold

We will confirm your table on the call and hold it for you. Come as you are — the seat will be waiting when you arrive.

Groups of six or more

Please book at least a day ahead. Our long tables are made for sharing and they fill quickly, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings when the live traditional music plays. A day's notice means we can set the table properly for your group.

Groups & celebrations

Planning a Group or Celebration

Birthdays, family gatherings, work dinners, a long Sunday lunch after a christening — tell us what you have in mind and we will set the room up around it. Our long tables seat six to fourteen comfortably, and we can join tables for larger parties.

The private-dining room

If you would rather have a quieter space of your own, our private-dining room seats up to twenty guests behind a closed door, away from the music and the bustle of the main floor. It is the right choice for a formal dinner, a business meal, or a family occasion where you want to hear every word.

We serve the same menu there, including mesob platters for the table and the coffee ceremony brought to you at the end of the meal.

How to arrange it

  • Call +251 11 662 3344 and ask for the private-dining room.
  • Tell us the date, the time, your party size and anything we should know — dietary needs, a cake to bring out, a toast at a certain hour.
  • For groups of six or more we recommend booking a day ahead, as the long tables fill quickly, especially Friday and Saturday evenings.
  • We confirm the booking and hold the room for you.

Full details

Capacity, set menus, timing and everything else about larger bookings are set out on our Private Dining and Events page.
