Askalech Tej House
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is the closest you will get to a bar here in Lalibela, apart from the hotels.
    TEJ is a local home made drink made out of honey. You can order it in 3 "levels": soft, medium and high alcohol. If you look for something similar to a beer ask HIGH. It is sweet and thick, nice to spend an evening.

    Here I am with 2 israeli friends, I met them in Gonder and kept meeting them along the way: Aksum, lalibela, Addis... They came to work as volunteers in an orphan place of Mother Theresa near Debre Libanos and made a quick tour around the country before.
    I am moving in the pic, because I was telling the waiter how to use the camera (this was the 4th attemp and it took nearly 5 minutes to take a "normal" photo!).

  • This little place is almost across for the Tej House. They serve alcohol (not tej) and offer a coffee ceremony. If you have not seen the coffee veremony – its worth a visit.

    7 OLIVES HOTEL: A SELF PORTRAIT - SUNDOWN ON THE TERRACE

    The 7 Olives Hotel is at the top of the town and the edge of the highest hill. So this is the best place in town to sit on the very wide terrace and enjoy the sunset.

    CHEERS!

  • Tej is a thick and tart honey wine that actually tastes pretty good. They ferment this stuff for about 1 year. Yep, a year. This Tej House serves 3 varieties:
    • Normal
    • Strong
    • Kick your ass (so my local guide said)
    It can be very strong and so tart that you may only want one. It is served in something resembling a laboratory beaker. You hold the neck with your first 2 fingers. Please finish what you order. They really don’t appreciate having to pour away something that took so long to produce. The décor inside is a fascinating mini-museum of Ethiopian life full of musical instruments and native crafts. Worth at least one drink.
