THE BLUE HERON

Fusion restaurant and international cuisine €€

This restaurant now has a new setting outside the city. Everything is peaceful, conducive to the intimacy of a nice dinner. Banquettes around widely spaced tables shaded by artistic wooden canopies face a thick flowery garden, with the view of Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru in the background. The menu is gargantuan, with a choice of shawarmas and wood-fired pizzas, including a margherita for four that is a metre in diameter (!). A nice little souvenir shop completes the decor.

BRUBRU LODGE

Fusion restaurant and international cuisine €€

This is undoubtedly the best restaurant in Moshi, as much for its setting as for its dishes. The BruBru Lodge, recently opened in a new design, is also a popular restaurant with locals and expatriates alike, offering delicious food and a romantic candlelit ambience in the evenings. The setting is really cosy, both inside, on the terrace and in the garden, with your feet up on the lawn under the trees. The à la carte menu features refined, organic fusion dishes, with just a handful of regularly changing offerings.

KITAMU COFFEE

Fusion restaurant and international cuisine

This is Arusha's new café-restaurant to try out, right in the center and open non-stop. On the menu are interesting Swahili specialties with a modern twist, such as the "sweet chill chicken salad", with grilled chicken, fresh mango, tomatoes, onion, lettuce, walnuts and a homemade sweet chilli sauce. You can also opt for cakes, milkshakes or a good Tanzanian coffee at any time. The place is really cute and warm, with wax banquettes and high stools, a wooden interior and a mezzanine with tables upstairs. Good wifi.
