The Rock, one of the most unusual restaurants in the world
Often included in the list of the most unusual restaurants in the world, The Rock would surprise us. Pleasant. It is literally perched on a rock in the waters of the Indian Ocean. Under the sky of Africa. At ebb you walk carefully among the seaweeds, avoiding the sea urchins nestled in the water left behind by the ocean that went out to sea, while at the stream you are transported with a small fishing boat.
The first step on the narrow wooden ladder creaking under your feet is a guarantee that you will live a unique experience.
Two Masai dressed in Shuka, red cloth wrapped around their bodies, greet you with a stall on which are strung beads and bracelets made of beads. You try to resist the temptation to buy. Maybe you can, maybe you can't. I do not.
Fresh local products, skillfully caught in a menu bathed in sauces and flavours, pamper you. While grilling fish caught at dawn and frying pans with seafood, the chefs combine locally grown vegetables and pasta made in the kitchen with Zanzibar spices.

A room with a simple decor puts together a dozen tables. Enough to feel good, but requires a reservation in advance.
A friendly terrace is waiting for you to enjoy a soft drink on hot days or a cocktail in the evenings you want romantic.
On the horizon, the ocean. You look amazed at the show that unfolds before your eyes. If you turn your head, Michanwi Pingwe beach is caressed by the wave that returns under the impatient eyes of a few women waiting for you to present your goods displayed in the huts that host the shops.
The Rock is located on the south-east coast, in the Michanwi Pingwe area and is easily accessible from all over the island. It can be reached in 10 minutes from Paje, in 50 minutes from Stone Town and in an hour and a half from Nungwi. You can opt for a transfer (extra charge) provided by the hotel where you are staying or you can book the transfer in both directions directly on the restaurant's website https://www.therockrestaurantzanzibar.com/ Don't forget to make a reservation for lunch or dinner, for make sure you find a table available!
