COME DINE AT SEA: RESTAURANT ON A ROCK

The rock restaurant, located in Zanzibar – THIS unique restaurant really does boast breath-taking views - as it is perched on a rock in the middle of the sea. Suitably named The Rock Restaurant, it has to provide a boat service to diners as the tide comes in while they enjoy a meal amid the sounds of the waves. It is located in Zanzibar and has attracted several visitors since it opened last year. Partner restaurant Nigel Firman, 47, said: ‘The rock restaurant is a magical place and is an experience you are never likely to forget.
