On the rooftop of one of the tallest buildings in downtown Dar es Salaam, Akemi is a popular dining establishment for the well-heeled for special occasions and functions. With spectacular 360-degree views of the city and harbor, the cuisine is of a standard Continental fare with a menu that features a mix of Indian influences and Asian fusion cuisine like beef fillet with vegetables, though the fish platters tend to be the most popular.
If you're looking for a quick meal in between flights or safaris, Fifi's is a firm favorite for those looking for simple fare in a relaxed, casual dining atmosphere. The menu is a lovely fusion of Tanzanian favorites—mishkaki (spicy cubes of grilled beef) and mtori soup (aka banana soup)—and international fare like burgers and homemade pancakes. There is also free Wi-Fi if you need to catch up on the news of the world, decent coffee, and a cute boutique shop.
This popular double-story open-air restaurant in the Sea Cliff Hotel is right next to the crashing sea, providing the best views in town. The café-style restaurant features a decent array of foods like battered fish-and-chips, hamburgers, and juicy steaks, while the breakfast and lunch buffet has a wonderful spread. There is truly something to suit everyone and the service is prompt and efficient, made even more enjoyable by the sweeping ocean views from the deck
With a name that translates literally to "Fish, Fish" in Swahili, it's not hard to guess what's on the menu. The fish, in all its varieties and forms, is wonderfully delicious and in generous portions. Expect a festive atmosphere with plenty of live music on the weekends; it shifts to more of a club space in the evening with the city's young and vibrant. There is a location downtown in the Diamonds Plaza, but the most popular is along the dusty dirt road near Oyster Bay.
What could be more refreshing and delicious than an iced coffee in the midst of the humid city? This unassuming cafe-style pit stop is the perfect spot for the weary traveler looking for something beyond burgers and buns as they serve up tasty, quick bites that mix distinct Tanzanian flavors with Mexican fusion foods and style-it-yourself burritos and tacos.
