Some restaurants and cafés in Zanzibar Town are simple and aimed at locals. Others are smarter and cater specifically for tourists, expatriates and more well-off residents. The following list, arranged very loosely into categories of quality and price, cannot hope to be complete, but it indicates the type and range of places available. Nearly all those included are open in the evenings for dinner, and most also open for lunch; some are open all day. At busy times reservations may be necessary in some of the smarter restaurants.
