8.6 Fabulous Based on 273 reviews
Editor's Pick

"A rooftop restaurant and bar serve cocktails and cooked-to-order meals overlooking the ocean and Prison Island. The building sits in the heart of Stone Town, five minutes from the beach. Best for city travelers, less so for anyone sensitive to noise."
