THE ISLAND... that's also a bar
‘There is only one place to eat on the island’ – in other circumstances, this would be plan-ahead travel advice. For one speck of land of the coast of Zanzibar in Tanzania, it’s simple physics: The Rock is a restaurant that takes up every last inch of its mushroom-shaped perch (therockrestaurantzanzibar.com). The eccentric dining spot of the Indian Ocean’s most legendary ‘spice island’ has become an Instagram star since its launch in 2010. At low tide, you reach it on foot across a short stretch of beach; at other times, diners are ferried in rowing boats. It’s mostly a hit for cocktails on its back terrace, but the Italian-leaning, seafood-rich menu is also of interest. Book ahead. The quickest lights to Zanzibar from the UK go via Nairobi, Istanbul, Doha or Muscat (skyscanner.com)
