AKEMI RESTAURANT

Tanzanian restaurant €€€

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.

WOODBERRY CAFE

Fusion restaurant and international cuisine

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).

CHEF'S PRIDE

World cuisine restaurant
4/5
1 review

Don't look for a distinguished place here, but a modest and unpretentious local canteen, where nothing is expensive and everything is good. The dishes are copious and varied, and we recommend the local specialities, which are better prepared than the others, but there are also Indian, Chinese and vegetarian dishes on the menu... just like Dar, presented with care like a buffet. The place is particularly clean, the setting friendly and the welcome excellent. A small terrace with plants, which receives the sun at the end of the afternoon: a delight!

ADDIS IN DAR

World cuisine restaurant €€

The reference of Ethiopian gastronomy in Dar since 1998. We come here to taste the exoticism of Ethiopian cuisine, which consists of the traditional ingera cake (a cereal that only grows on the Ethiopian highlands). On the menu, we recommend the assortments to taste a little bit of everything, either with meat or without meat, as Ethiopian cuisine is specialized in vegetarian dishes (for the orthodox days of Lent). The furniture is also Ethiopian, especially the low tables around which you eat.

South Africa's version of McDonald's, but with barbecued meat and good-quality burgers. This Steers is clean and good, frequented by the local bourgeoisie and mainly Anglo-Saxon tourists. In addition to burgers and salads, it serves breakfasts, Indian dishes, pizzas and Chinese pasta. A pleasant place to take a break indoors or on the terrace at a low price, and above all with very fast take-away service. An interesting option before catching a boat, plane or going on an excursion.
