Italian food is found in most restaurants of the big cities. Traditional dishes (Stews, lentils, beans, goat, chicken...), generally very spicy, are served on a kitcha (flat cake) or on an injera (kind of spongy cake made from teff, a local seed). Massawa is renowned for its excellent fish and sea food, such as shrimps and lobsters. Tea and Coffee are an institution. They are served strong with a lot of sugar. In some regions, the coffee is slightly gingered or peppered.
