Like the original restaurant, Addis in Cape was founded by Senait Mekonnen. It is her vision and her desire to bring a bit of her country and herself to the rest of the world that brought the Addis in Dar concept to the beautiful city of Cape Town.  In her own words, Senait states that it was because of the diversity of the people and the energy that the region’s communities generate that she chose to open Addis in Cape in South Africa.
