Eating in the Indian Ocean: The Rock

Dinner on a rock in the Indian Ocean? Can’t say no to that.

If you google ‘The Rock’ the first thing you are going to see is photos of a large well-known American Actor… If you google ‘The Rock, Zanzibar’ you will see photos of one of the most magnificent restaurants in the world… And let’s be honest – most girls would chose a great restaurant over a bulky man….

IMG_1738The Rock is very appropriately named. It really is just a rock in the middle of the ocean. A really, really picturesque rock. One look will lead you to understand that no pencil nor brush could draw such a magnificent scene – this is the crossroad between mother nature and unique architecture.

The Rock Restaurant rises on a rock not distant from the shore of the beautiful Michanwi Pingwe beach and eating at The Rock Restaurant is an experience you can’t miss: colours, relish and sensations blend together in unique magic.

It is the perfect place to try the local seafood that is caught literally underneath the establishment. And the whole vegan thing? If you explain it to them they actually kind of get it, and you will be served some vegetables cooked to perfection. With a Mojito on the side…

During low tide The Rock can be reached on foot, but at high tide diners need to be transported back to the mainland by boat. We were lucky enough to have a reservation for dinner at high tide… With a sunset on the side.

Easily accesible by a smooth-flowing route, the Rock is located south east of the island, on the Michamwi Pingwe peninsula. A 10 minutes car drive from Page , an hour from Stone Town and 1 hour and a half from the north tip of the island.

About Me

Kat Knapp

Hello there, I'm Kat Knapp. I am a 26-year old Australian currently living in New Zealand. The past decade has involved a lot of travel which has resulted in me having visited 79 countries across all 7 continents. I have lived in Iceland, The Netherlands, Japan, France, Romania and Madagascar. Here is where I have shared a number of my adventures. I have an undergraduate degree in Sociology and Journalism, and am currently completing post-graduate study in Forensic Psychology and Teaching. I have my Private Pilots license, Adventure Dive Licence and Truck license which have led to some adventures on/above and below land. I hope to use this place to reflect on some missing adventures and ponder some non-travel related parts of my life.
