Lalibela (Amharic: ላሊበላ) is a town in Amhara Region, northern Ethiopia famous for monolithic rock-cut churches. The whole of Lalibela offers an exceptional testimony to the medieval and post-medieval civilization of Ethiopia. Lalibela is one of Ethiopia's holiest cities, second only to Aksum, and a center of pilgrimage. Unlike Aksum, the population of Lalibela is almost completely Ethiopian Orthodox Christian. Ethiopia was one of the earliest nations to adopt Christianity in the first half of the fourth century, and its historical roots date to the time of the Apostles. The churches themselves date from the seventh to thirteenth centuries, and are traditionally dated to the reign of the Zagwe dynasty king Gebre Mesqel Lalibela (r. ca. 1181–1221 AD).

That was my first reaction when I saw the place! Magical eatery perched on a hill with far reaching views and magnificent 10 foot wingspan lammergeiers making close passes. Lovely Scottish owner with a credit card machine that works - must be a first for Lalibela. Go before 12:00 when the tourist lunch rush starts - itâs a very popular place and for good reason.

We stayed here for two nights. On our second night we were told there would be a buffet with dancing. Not sure how often these take place however it was really good fun and the food was fine. The dancers ensured that everyone who was up for it danced, the guys and girls dancing were so fit unlike ourselves.Food was standard buffet but edible. Great night had by all who attended.

Enjoyed a great lunch. Covered patio on top floor. Great injera and amazing juice smoothies. Worth the time for fresh preparation. Included pictures of menu for idea of pricing. 30 birr for fresh juice, including avocado juice. So good. Follow the signs to the 7 Olives Restaurant, right across the street and much better food and pricing. Worth the trip up the very steep steps.
