Restaurants cuisine du monde Tanzania

Excellent value for money in a friendly, country atmosphere, on the banks of the Themi River, which flows a little lower down. This small, eco-friendly restaurant is run by a community of women who have been damaged by life and is supported by an Italian NGO. For a handful of shillings, you will be served a nice plate of vegetables (spinach, beans, lentils...) with delicious eggplant cakes and unlimited fruit juice. Everything is grown on site, in the association's vegetable garden. Closed in the evening and at weekends.

Passion Boutique Hotel lives up to its name with spectacular and passionately hearty plates. For starters, the delicious guacamole is served with crunchy cassava chips. What about the grilled octopus with garlic and lime, coconut rice and spicy tomato and onion kachumbari salad, or the pasta with moringa pesto, the energizing African plant? Many vegetarian options. As an appetizer facing the beach just ahead, the restaurant offers a plethora of creative cocktails and mocktails.

A charming café-restaurant, with a pleasant, shaded outdoor terrace laid out with palm trees and wooden tables, complete with wifi. The perfect place to watch the passers-by go by with a little black coffee. Good breakfast, but also lunch and dinner. The house serves hearty, delicious dishes at more reasonable prices than the beachfront. On the menu: grilled octopus, avocado smoothie, spice coffee, Swahili specialties... Special mention for the homemade banana-coconut bread in the morning! There's also an inexpensive B&B, just renovated.

Mzee Husa is the new gastronomic gem from Jussi, a Swedish chef who has worked at the renowned Essque Zalu and Zuri hotels. In his democratically priced restaurant, he cooks according to his inspiration, at the crossroads of Swahili, Mediterranean and Nordic influences. Like this eggplant millefeuille with shrimp and avocado cream, or this fish with beet purée and citrus sauce... Everything is delicious and the plates are decorated with flowers. Signature cocktails and original desserts. Tables with your feet in the sand or upstairs, overlooking the ocean.

This is the best restaurant in Mtende, for its extraordinary setting and the quality of its finely prepared dishes. The restaurant is perched on a terrace in the canopy of a huge baobab tree. The kitchens are open non-stop, so come for lunch or dinner before or after your visit to Mtende beach. On the menu, in addition to gargantuan and delicious lobsters (served with avocado chutney or eggplant sauce): marinated and grilled whole fish, the famous jumbo prawns (tiger prawns), burgers, delicious fresh juices (baobab juice)..

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.

Perched on the 21st and top floor of the Golden Jubilee Towers, Akemi is the city's highest restaurant and one of its best. The large, rounded, glass-walled room offers a panoramic view of the Indian Ocean to the west and Kurasini Creek to the south. The tables are arranged in a circle around the central buffet which is a sure bet. The menu is a delightful mix of Indian, Asian and Western specialities with Zanzibar spices. Live music every Friday between 5 and 7 pm. Reservation recommended for dinner.

There are few interesting local restaurants in Pangani, with visitors eating in their own lodges or in those nearby. The best restaurant in the area, at the Mkoma Bay Hotel, is set on a cliff top with an open terrace offering a breathtaking view of the bay. The restaurant offers a full dinner each evening with a choice of three dishes (fish, meat, vegetarian) of African and European inspiration, beautifully and subtly cooked, varying according to the inspiration of a local chef. A meeting place for gourmets and romantics.

This new local restaurant in the village of Jambiani is already a favorite with regulars, who love its low-cost dishes. It has to be said that the cooks have been trained in lodge restaurants and have mastered the art. It's a pleasure to watch them busy themselves in the open kitchen. The sheltered outdoor room is modest, but clean and fresh. The menu of dishes on the slate, copious and served quickly, changes often. We loved the cashew-encrusted seared tuna fillet with mango sauce, and the grilled slipper lobster at a bargain price.

This beautiful beachfront house has been converted into a trendy bar. As soon as you arrive, cosy white sofas invite you to bask in the sun on the terrace, along with tables for lunch, dinner or sipping a cocktail as the sun sets. Well-chosen DJ background music at weekends and during Sunday brunch. We come here for a glass of South African wine or a good cocktail prepared by real bartenders. The dishes, on the other hand, are a little disappointing in terms of flavors, which you'd expect to be more sophisticated and fresh, especially at this price level.

The Upendo hotel's boho chic bar-restaurant features a wooden deck, sofas and cushions on the sand, where you can sip a cocktail right across from The Rocks. The plates are incredible: it's hard to choose between vegan bowls, sushi, salads (seared tuna crisp with pepper, green papaya and cashew nuts), gourmet burger, tapas (crab samosas and tamarind chutney), octopus is incredibly tender, mahi mahi with saffron risotto, truffle, dates poached in port and almonds... Excellent and very popular Sunday brunch with DJ.

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.

This is an arty, designer café in the trendy Masaki district. It marries exotic wood furniture with a beautiful floor, while white walls and picture windows overlooking the vegetation add brightness to the place. Cosy gray and blue velvet sofas complete this magnificent setting. On the menu: coffees, juices, breakfasts, burgers, salads... But also original hot bowls, buddha bowls, and a creative children's menu. We loved the Bambara bowl (millet, avocado, walnuts, shallots, red pickles, mange-coco and lemon sauce).

A breathtaking location, seen on every postcard. As its name suggests, this restaurant is perched on a rocky outcrop close to the shore, and can be reached on foot at low tide, and by boat at high tide. The trendy atmosphere, with sofas on the terrace facing the lagoon, makes it an ideal spot to sip a cocktail. Inside, the food is worthy of the place, with noble ingredients (lobster, slipper lobster, squid, octopus...). To enjoy this privilege, you'll have to pay the price and make a reservation. Otherwise, just come for a drink (no reservation required).
