At the BAHARI LOUNGE restaurant at the Pongwe Bay Resort, overlooking the beach, the extraordinary variety of flavors of Swahili cuisine are masterfully interpreted by our master chef and his staff, combined with a Mediterranean flavor inherited from years of experience at prestigious European and Italian restaurants, before returning home and becoming probably the best local chef in all of Zanzibar.

From the fragrant morning toast to the exquisite desserts, fresh pasta and bread, everything is prepared on site.The fish and vegetables are always fresh because they come from fishermen and local suppliers carefully selected. All local products are organic and free of pesticides or chemical fertilizers . Our sommeliers are on hand to advise one of the excellent wines from our cellar, or a fantastic tropical cocktail. 

For something extra special and romantic, treat yourself to a dinner with grilled fish or lobsters directly on the beach , while you observe the nocturnal reflections of the moon on the sea, in a truly intimate atmosphere amongst the torchlights lit up just for you.

Breakfast is served from 7:30 am to 10:00 am
