Nungwi

This new signature restaurant of the Z Hotel replaces the very famous Saruche on the same level facing the sea and the beach. It is only open for dinner and the address is chic. Sexy Fish offers seafood in all sorts of ways and sauces. The fish is of course local and ultra-fresh, as is the seafood, and the chef Bengali Rasel offers an African-European fusion menu, spiced up with Zanzibar spices: delicate tuna ceviche, lobster tempura, crab curry à la sénégalaise, or simply a nice grilled lobster.

This is the best restaurant in Nungwi, especially the grilled octopus, a real treat. Walking out onto the Essque Zalu hotel's huge pontoon is already a stroll, lined with swings facing the shades of turquoise and, why not, sip a good cocktail before settling down to eat. On the menu, an array of gourmet dishes to share, including many vegetarian options - excellent squash and carrot fritters with mango chutney - and seafood options, such as grilled cicadas with chimichurri sauce or tuna confit with capers and red beans.

This local fishermen's restaurant is part of the nightly fishmarket on one of Nungwi's central beaches. Candlelight, tables with their feet in the sand and nomadic music and acrobatics create a romantic and friendly atmosphere. The highlight of the show is the display of huge fish, lobsters and octopus that you can admire in front of the restaurant. It's time to go for the XXL shellfish. The waiters are - rare thing in Zanzibar - efficient and organized, the wait is reasonable.
