2 Best Restaurants in Tanzania

Ascend up the winding staircase past the eclectic collection of artwork to a bright and sunny sundeck with an infinity pool overlooking downtown Stone Town. This is the spot for sunset cocktails, vibey DJ music, and delicious nibbles---the menu is a fusion of Indian, Mediterranean, and Swahili flavors like tuna and compressed watermelon and ponzu or pan seared octopus and chorizo with a chimichurri chased down with a spiced mango daiquiri. Don't come in your flip-flops and safari khakis as this place calls for more refreshingly cool attire.

This waterside hangout, named after Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury, who was born just a couple of blocks away, serves up the basics like pizzas and burgers in simple surroundings. The wooden terrace overlooking the ocean is ideal for sunset drinks or a pre-ferry drinks pit stop.
