Rendez-Vous Ethiopian and Eritrean Restaurant

This is the first Ethiopian restaurant I’ve been to & none have beat the meal I had here! The toppings were so hearty, definitely make sure you come hungry! They had a bigger variety of toppings for your Injera compared to other restaurants I’ve been to! I wish I could come more often!

This delicious gem is a must try on The Danforth for Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. We enjoyed the Rendez-Vous Meat Combination plate/platter with a gluten free injera. It was absolutely delicious with nice spice if you like alittle heat. It was nice to also eat with your hands. The customer service was good; our server took the time to explain the options that we didn't understand. I look forward to our next visit to this restaurant!!!!

We went for brunch on Sunday and shared a large dish as a family. It took a little while, probably because it was right after opening, but the food was delicious.

Good place to try Ethiopian food. Delicious and healthy with some spices. Very fresh injera( Ethiopian flat bread), different vegetables and meat sauce. Be prepared to eat meal with your hands, it’s quite very fan and tasty. Do not expect great service, they have to learn that. Will be pleasant to have better quality water glasses. Any place I go, specifically for food I expect to use a clean washroom, it tells me a lot about food business. In this case they should install fun or better ventilation. Otherwise, all the smell travels around eating area … 🥴 I’ve noticed many people take out food.

It’s been a while I had Ethiopean food and I took my friend from out of town to impress her with their amazing platter. Ordered veg +meat combo platter. My friend was impressed. It was around $62 including 1 soft drink and there was leftover., However My knowlege of Ethiopean food is very shallow, I only know some names such as “Tibs”( meat fried with butter, garlic , onion & pepper), “Injera”(fermented flat bread) “Doro Wat” “Awaze”(sauce), etc. Their menu description in English was very confusing. Almost all the meat dishes had different names but they were mostly sauteed with butter, garlic, onion & pepper. Wait staff was trying to explain that there are various options of meat such as spicy, non spicy, ground meat version, etc. but I was not even sure, I was served with what I actually chose. For example, if you look at #60 &#61, only difference I see is one is served on sizzling plate. However their names are completely different. 60. ChachA Charbroiled beef tender seasoned with spices, onion, garlic, red pepper, green pepper, ginger, rosemary, served with Injera and green salad (It comes with a special sizzling pot). 61. DereK Tibes Charbroiled beef tender seasoned with spices, onion, garlic, ginger, green & red peppers, rosemary, served with Injera and green salad. Experience was overall great but I with they had better menu description.

Absolutely delicious food this was my first time having Ethiopian food. Service was excellent, very accommodating. Please note that the lighting in the restaurant is quite dim so if you have a visual impairment, ask to sit near the window.

Food that feels like home! Flavourful, healthy food, with good variety and good portions! We had chicken & rice, and the vegetable platter with injera, which were excellent. Our server was nice and helpful and the owner was very kind and hospitable! The potatoes and carrots were also super delicious, warm and hearty. Wonderful and authentic Ethiopian restaurant!! Will definitely come back again.

I love Ethiopian food and so I try to go to as many different places serving it as possible. Rendezvous has by far been my top 3 so far. The food is great, the staff is very helpful. We had someone in our party who was having Ethiopian for the first time and the staff really took time to explain to them the different dishes. The service wasn’t the fastest but that did not take away from the experience. A must try whether you are an avid food lover or looking to try something new and interesting. They have plenty options for meat lovers and vegetarians and the portions are substantial.
