The Rock Restarant 

Perched on a rock just off Michamvi Pingwe beach on Zanzibar’s southeastern coast, The Rock offers a truly distinctive dining experience, featuring fresh, all-natural ingredients prepared with passion.

​

This intimate and exclusive restaurant, now an iconic symbol of Zanzibar, is styled with simple, local island charm. Renowned for its seafood and traditional flavors, The Rock plays a meaningful role in the community—sourcing directly from local fishermen and farmers, particularly those from the nearby village of Michamvi.

​

Dedicated to sustainability, The Rock has prioritized minimizing its environmental impact from the very beginning—from the concept of the restaurant itself to the final touches of your meal.

​

The Rock welcomes couples and groups of up to 20 guests. Reservations are required.

​

An open-air terrace provides a picturesque setting for pre- or post-dinner drinks, offering stunning panoramic sea views and the magic of the African sky—sunlit by day and star-lit by night.

​

Perfect for special occasions, the venue is also available for private bookings and events.

Although situated in the sea, The Rock is accessible by foot during low tide. At high tide, guests are transported by boat. For an added romantic touch, enjoy a complimentary boat ride around the rock to complete your experience.
