About this spot
La Fourna brings the smoky depth of Addis Ababa to Brussels' Sainte-Catherine neighborhood, where injera bread is served with generous portions of rich stews like misir wot and shiro.

💡 Tips before you go
- Order a round of tej honey wine to share as a traditional aperitif before your meal.
- Expect to sit on low benches or at communal tables where you tear off pieces of injera directly from the large platter.
- Ask for extra berbere spice if you want to experience the authentic heat levels found in Addis Ababa.
