Chercher offers very high quality Ethiopian cuisine with several full vegan options. I took the Deluxe dish composed of 4 or 5 different items served with the traditional pancake (injera). Everything was excellent and super hearty. I didn't manage to finish even though I would have liked to. The staff is nice and the place is relatively quiet. It's better to reserve before or arrive early to have a seat. A place to test absolutely!
