Zatiny Restaurant & Beach Bar
– Michamvi Zanzibar
Zatiny Restaurant & Beach Bar is the oceanfront restaurant of Boutique Hotel Matlai, located directly on the beach of Michamvi Pingwe on Zanzibar’s southeast coast. The restaurant combines two distinct culinary concepts under one roof:
• Zatiny Kitchen – fresh seafood, international cuisine and Zanzibari specialties, including a daily changing 3-course chef’s menu and a signature beef filet grilled at 850°C
• Duyên Kitchen – authentic Vietnamese home cooking, fragrant pho, fresh spring rolls and dishes prepared by Duyên, bringing a unique culinary experience to Zanzibar
​
Zatiny Restaurant is open to the public and welcomes both hotel guests and outside visitors. Whether you are joining for a beachfront breakfast with ocean views, a relaxed lunch, a romantic sunset dinner or just cocktails on the beach, the restaurant offers a full day of dining with the Indian Ocean as its backdrop.
​
Tables at Zatiny are available on a walk-in basis, though reservations are recommended for dinner, special occasions and couples looking for a private beachfront table. Guests planning a special celebration — a birthday, anniversary or honeymoon dinner — can request a personalised setup including spa packages combined with an à la carte menu.
