Want to enjoy a creative fusion of flavors that brings tradition into the modern world? Read this article now! 

At Red Sea Restaurant & Bar, we have always been celebrating the rich culinary traditions of Eritrea and Ethiopia while embracing modern beverage trends! Traditional dishes that are paired with contemporary drinks like craft beers, wines, and cocktails offer a fresh dining experience that enhances the bold flavors of Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine.<br /> For dishes like doro wat (spicy chicken stew), a full-bodied red wine such as Shiraz or Malbec balances the heat from the berbere spice blend. The wine’s fruity, spicy notes complement the stew’s richness. For lighter options like shiro (chickpea stew), Sauvignon Blanc offers a refreshing contrast, with its crisp acidity lifting the dish’s warm flavors.<br /> Craft beers provide an exciting pairing option as well. An Indian Pale Ale's (IPA) bitterness cuts through the richness of kitfo (minced beef), while a Belgian-style ale softens the spiced lentils in misir wat.<br /> Heavier dishes like *zilzil tibs* pair beautifully with an Old Fashioned, where the bourbon’s smoky sweetness enhances the grilled meat’s flavors.<br /> By combining tradition with modern drink pairings, you can create a unique dining experience that brings out the best in East African cuisine!<br />
