A new Ethiopian restaurant called Erta Ale is opening soon in Lowertown in the former home of sushi restaurant Kyatchi and, previously, longtime Japanese noodle shop Tanpopo. The restaurant is named after the Erta Ale volcano, one of the most active in Africa. Along with classic Ethiopian stewed meats and vegetables served on spongy injera bread, Erta Ale will offer a weekend buffet to coincide with the nearby St. Paul Farmers’ Market. Erta Ale is set to soft-open the last weekend of April, and Tsegaye hopes to schedule a grand opening around Mother’s Day. Erta Ale: 308 E. Prince St., Ste.
