The Tea House at Emerson Spice

An eight-course seafood tasting menu on a rooftop above the old town. The rooftop pavilion of Emerson Spice hotel, framed in carved wooden fretwork, looks out over Stone Town's tin roofs and minarets to the sea. By day it serves an à la carte lunch; in the evening, sundowners and then a set eight-course seafood tasting menu with Swahili-coast flavours, at one seating. Hearing the call to prayer rise from the mosques below as the light goes is part of the experience. Cuisine: Swahili-coast seafood tasting menu.
