A house somewhere in Zanzibar!: "Village lunch on spice tour" Top 5 Page for this destination Zanzibar Island Restaurant Tip by toonsarah
Zanzibar Island Restaurants: 26 reviews and 37 photos
While on the Spice Tour (see my Things to Do tip) we stopped for lunch in a local village. As you see from the photo, the setting was pretty basic, and we sat on the floor surrounding the plastic “table” cloth. The meal was also basic (vegetable curry, boiled rice, bread) but absolutely delicious – one of the tastiest meals we had on the island. However I have to say that I paid for it later that day with frequent visits to the bathroom! Nevertheless it was worth it ;-)
Earlier in the tour we stopped at a roadside stall where we enjoyed coffee, doughnuts and fresh pineapple. Both this and the lunch were included in the $10 cost of the tour, making it excellent value.
Comparison: least expensive
Directions: Your Spice Tour guide will no doubt bring you here, or somewhere very similar
Price: less than US$10
