Konokono Restaurant
About
Konokono Restaurant, a restaurant on Zanzibar, sits in Michamvi Kae on the island's east coast. The kitchen serves coastal cooking, with rice dishes and seafood stews that shape tables along this stretch of the island.
Across 556 reviews, diners have rated the restaurant 4 out of 5, a respectable showing for a busy coastal kitchen. Michamvi sits away from the main northern strip, within reach of Stone Town, Paje and Jambiani for anyone travelling the island by road. Cloves grow on both Zanzibar and Pemba, and the spice trade has long shaped the cooking of this coast.
Doors open every day of the week, public holidays included, from 07:00 until 22:00. That long window covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, so the kitchen suits an early start before a boat trip as easily as a late meal after a day on the water. A website at https://konokonozanzibar.com/ carries further detail about the restaurant.
Booking ahead is worth considering during the busiest months, when Michamvi fills with visitors. The coolest and driest stretch of the year runs from June to October, when the kusi wind blows from the southeast, and that is the season many travellers choose. Dalla-dalla minibuses and boda-boda motorcycle taxis are the usual way to get around, and traffic drives on the left. Kiswahili is the everyday language, with English widely used in tourism.
