Like its name suggests, Merkato is very much a functioning market. But there’s also a tiny adjacent dining room that’s cranking out some of the best and most affordable food in the neighborhood. Our move is to always to go vegetarian at Merkato because frankly, it’s too good to pass up. Their Vega Combo is a must-order, with gigantic helpings of four different vegetarian options clocking in at a cool $9.99. Grab yourself a quick glass of Ethiopian honey wine and have yourself a lunch.
