The Rock Restaurant Experience

Renowned for its breathtaking location and delectable seafood cuisine, this iconic eatery offers an unparalleled dining experience. Accessible only by boat during high tide or by foot during low tide, guests embark on a journey to reach this enchanting establishment, where rustic charm meets luxury.

The Rock Restaurant is perhaps the most photographed restaurant in Africa and has become a symbol of Zanzibar's unique charm. Perched on an outcrop of rock just off Michanwi Pingwe beach on the southeast coast, this extraordinary restaurant offers a dining experience like no other.

Your Rock Restaurant experience includes:

• Reserved table at this highly sought-after restaurant (advance booking essential)
• Round-trip transfers from your hotel to Pingwe Beach
• Boat transfer to the restaurant during high tide (or walk during low tide)
• A welcome drink upon arrival
• Spectacular 360-degree views of the Indian Ocean
• Photo opportunities at one of Zanzibar's most iconic locations
• Optional pre-dinner beach time at the beautiful Pingwe Beach

The restaurant specializes in fresh seafood caught daily by local fishermen. Signature dishes include the "Seafood Platter for Two" featuring lobster, prawns, calamari, and catch of the day, as well as their famous "The Rock Special" with lobster, cigal, king prawns, calamari, and octopus.

The intimate setting makes this perfect for special occasions, romantic dinners, or simply creating an unforgettable memory during your Zanzibar stay. With only 12 tables, the atmosphere is exclusive and personal.

After your meal, enjoy drinks on the restaurant's terrace while watching the changing tides and spectacular ocean views. Depending on the tide schedule, your return to shore will either be by boat or a wade through shallow waters, adding to the adventure of this unique dining experience.
