Rock Restaurant is a Tropical Culinary Dream Perched in the Middle of the Ocean

The amazing<a href="http://www.starblazers.it/therock/" target="_blank"> Rock Restaurant</a> in Zanzibar is a rustic hut situated on a jagged rock that rises above the Indian Ocean. Located off the shore of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanzibar" target="_blank">Michanwi Pingwe</a>, the secluded eatery invites guests to wade, swim, or boat over to enjoy the catch of the day, local spirits, and breathtaking scenery. This unique little beach bungalow is virtually off the map and known to very few. Besides its exclusivity, the best part is that there is not a bad seat in the house.

Located a few meters off the coast, this unique little spot is virtually off the map and known to very few. Besides it's exclusivity, there is not a bad seat in the house.

he restaurant itself can accomodate 14  people and includes a stunning wrap-around terrace boasting panoramic views of turquoise <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Ocean" target="_blank">water</a>.

Built entirely with rustic, local materials, the structure easily adapts to the ever changing nature of its environment. When the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide" target="_blank"> tide</a> is low, an amazing tiered staircase greets visitors, leading them to the main dining room. Higher tides that call for a boat ride to the Rock, allow visitors to tie up or get dropped off at their floating oasis.

A once in a lifetime experience in itself, dinner at the Rock is a must for anyone traveling the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanzania" target="_blank"> Tanzanian</a> coast.

The cozy hut also offers an extensive wine menu, making it a hot spot for romantic dinners and special occasions.

The owner, a local fisherman, serves whatever he catches (including <a href="http://www.starblazers.it/therock/menu/" target="_blank">lobster and prawns</a>) and prepares delicious authentic recipes with local ingredients.
