Marcus Addis Restaurant & Sky Bar

Marcus Addis presents a truly breathtaking concept. Perched high in a stunning Addis Ababa high-rise, the venue offers amazing panoramic views. The physical space is beautifully divided into intimate settings, a stylish bar, a lounge, and a dinner area all of which are outstanding and worthy of a five-star designation. I will give full credit where it's due: the ambiance and location are world-class. However, the experience falls short of its immense potential. For a setting of this caliber, the expectation is a seamless, seven-star, ultra-luxurious, and formally impeccable establishment. Currently, there are significant gaps. The most notable issue lies in the staff's professionalism, discipline, and general coordination. The service lacks the flawless, anticipatory quality required, from the moment one enters to the moment one leaves. Furthermore, the food was mediocre. I understand the chef is working hard to pioneer a fusion of Ethiopian cuisine with European influences—an ambitious and commendable experiment. Yet, in its current execution, it does not meet the mark for a restaurant that aims for the pinnacle of fine dining. In summary, Marcus Advis has all the foundational elements of a legendary dining destination: the view, the location, and the beautiful settings. However, to transition from a place of great potential to an undisputed leader, there is substantial work needed in service execution and culinary refinement. It feels very much like a "work in progress."

Swedish celebrity chef Marcus Sameulson's sky restaurant atop a high rise. Definitely an experience you want to enjoy while in Addis Ababa. The cuisine is African fusion with varying international interpretations. I had the scallops which were forgettable, and I was with a large group so there were too many other dishes to get a vibe. The cocktails were perfection. If you're looking for that celebrity chef restaurant experience, this is the place. There's a DJ spinning and the atmosphere is wonderful. You need reservations and you should dress to impress.

Stunning view and amazing atmosphere make this fine dining spot memorable. The service is excellent and welcoming. However, the menu is very limited with few options to choose from. While the food tastes good, the lack of variety and value falls short of expectations.

Marcus is marvellous place in Addis, you can come just for coffe, drink or two *Bedele Special (my recommendation) and view, have a Tomahawk (Japanese Beef) a la Chef Marcus's (the place got his name after there one chef) for brunch, lunch or dinner and finish with nice gin and whisky or limoncello. Signature cocktail 🍸 👌 list is nice touch with original Ethiopian Habesha flavour. You will definitely not regret the visit.

From the time the reception confirmed my reservation twice at around 11am as I did move my reservation to another date once, I was impressed at their consistency of what time to confirm reservations. The place was as lovely and even more than I expected and better than all the videos I saw prior to our arrival. Chef Marcus is talented of course, but better than his amazing talent lies a view and an elevator ride that is worth a visit to this place. The price is very affordable and my date and I were surprised as we stared at our bill and already planned another visit very soon. I like to add that you should work on the Wi-Fi service. You shouldn't have a password for it. Phones or other devices should automatically sign into it. I don't think clients will climb a 47 story building just to use Wi-Fi.

A fine chef in charge. Fine dining guaranteed. All my guests and me have never been disappointed. I use the Marcus’ 47th space for ‘thinking dinners’. Very glad to have met the fine chef himself finally.

I recently had the pleasure of having dinner at Marcus Addis Restaurant And Sky Bar and it was exceptional. This dining experience perfectly represents Ethiopia’s modernisation. It offered a unique consolidation of traditional Ethiopian dishes with western influenced cuisines. Every dish was presented with care. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The restaurant was located on the 47th floor and the view was absolutely spectacular. The ambience was stunning, magnificent decor, and they brilliantly integrated comfort and elegance. A special mention goes to staff members, who truly made our evening memorable and we felt truly valued as guests. Post-dinner the staff offered to give us a private tour of the entire restaurant which occupies an entire floor which topped-off our lovely experience. Overall the service was fantastic. I understand why Marcus Addis Restaurant And Sky Bar has gained traction in the city. It truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a terrific dining experience in Addis Ababa. Side note: We took couple videos which is on our page and linked to Google Maps.

Excellent food and service and good value lunch menu. I really enjoyed my visit here, very friendly and well trained staff. The Malbec wine and steak were excellent. All on top of the tallest building in East Africa!
