AI Summary

Collingwood Ethiopian gem with live jazz, authentic injera, and Peter's legendary hospitality

Colourful, intimate, and immersive. The Horn is part restaurant, part live music venue. The warm, eclectic decor creates a welcoming community space where food, music, and conversation all converge. On live music nights the energy is electric; quieter mid-week visits offer a more relaxed, cosy setting.

Live jazz on Thursday and Sunday nights. the Black Jesus Experience (BJX), owner Peter's internationally touring band, plays Sunday evenings when available; traditional injera made with real teff as in Ethiopia; entirely gluten-free menu by the nature of injera; vegetarian and meat banquet options; Mauritian beers available; outdoor area; Peter personally engages with every table

Deeply authentic Ethiopian cooking. injera made with real teff as used in Ethiopia, kitfo, tibs, and yebeg wot prepared traditionally. Peter and his family bring a genuine East African hospitality ethos. A reviewer whose friend is from Ethiopia describes the food as tasting like home.

Price level 1. The banquet is consistently described as excellent value. a multi-course spread covering entrees, mains, and dessert for around $44 per person. A la carte portions divide opinion on value. Live music significantly boosts the overall value of any visit.
