About

In Zanzibar, blu ocean is a café at 1168 on the island, with a website at http://www.blueoceanhotels.com/. The café is known for its coastal setting and its place among the island's eating spots, drawing both visitors and residents.

First-time visitors should expect a relaxed counter-style stop rather than a formal restaurant, with the menu built around the island's everyday flavours. Guests have given it a 4.5 out of 5 average across 228 reviews, a strong record for a café of its size. Stone Town and Nungwi sit among the nearby places that frame a visit to this part of Zanzibar.

Swahili coastal cooking leans on rice, coconut milk, seafood and spices such as clove and cinnamon, so the local dishes reward anyone willing to eat as the island does. Kiswahili is the main language of Zanzibar, with English widely used in tourism and Arabic loanwords in everyday speech, which makes ordering straightforward for most travellers.

The coolest, driest months run from June to October, when the kusi wind blows from the southeast, and that window suits anyone planning long days outdoors. Ferries and flights from Dar es Salaam serve Zanzibar, while light aircraft link it to Pemba, so reaching the island takes little effort. The café's rating reflects steady approval from the 228 guests who have reviewed it, and its position at 1168 places it within reach of the island's main settlements.
