The best Fusion and international cuisine restaurants Arusha

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.

The Onsea House hotel restaurant is nestled on a hillside with a breathtaking view over the hilly outskirts of Arusha. This gastronomic address, run by Axel Janssens, a friendly Flemish chef who has worked in several Michelin-starred restaurants in Belgium and France, offers French and African-inspired world cuisine every evening for a tasty cocktail unrivalled in the region. Magnificent view at sunset ("machweo" in Swahili). Axel has published a magnificent book on Tanzania(Taste of Tanzania).

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.
