Find out what Seafood restaurants to try in Djibouti. Nestled on the southern tip of the Gulf of Tadjoura, the seaside capital of Djibouti is a modest harbor town and a major port of trade and travel via Ethiopia and other points in Africa, especially as the terminus for the Djibouti-Addis Ababa Railway. Beaches along the eastern shore provide some respite from the blistering heat, while the chaotic central market is alive with activity throughout the day.

At here on our last night in Djibouti! Quite the treat! The owner was there to explain the menu items that seem to change daily or weekly. Great seafood and nice personal service. Not cheap, but worth the splurge. There were about 10 of us and we had one nice large table,

We had a lovely meal outside at the shore. We started with an exceptional salad of prawns, mango, and avocado, followed by Yemeni fish.

Fish, bread and pudding. We shared a large fresh snapper, grilled and spiced to perfection. A mild tomato sauce or spicier chili sauce were offered with the hot fresh bread, like an Indian naan. I've not tried fish and bread anywhere else in Djibouti yet, but this would be hard to beat!

Walking to get to Chez Youssouf you will pass through the clothes market which is an experience on its own. I couldn't find a map for Chez Youssouf but I asked in the Market and a guy volunteered to walk with me. Being a tourist I assumed he wants a tip, but he didn't, he genuinely just wanted to help and walked with me all the way there, showed me where to wash my hands and where it's best to sit for the fan and then left. The place is a hole in the wall, a local joint where you will find many workers and merchants alike having some fish. I tried the fish which you go to the big fridge to pick, doesn't look fresh but tasted so good. They serve a Banana mash on the side which is very very heavy on garlic and spices so if you don't enjoy the taste of garlic much you better tell them to make it with less garlic. The overall experience is great if you enjoy experimenting and have the stomach for it. I highly recommend it if you want to try the local way of making fish.

We happened onto this place while exploring the waterfront, and ended up going back for a second night later in the week. Very nice facility, tables on the water all the way around. Excellent service. Food was very good, nicely presented, and priced less than some of the less nice restaurants in the European quarter. The menu has small fish, medium fish, and large fish but they were out of one or more of the sizes both nights we were there. The fish kabobs were delicious.Dear Our Esteemd Customer,Thank you for taking the time to write your comments on your recent experience at Kuriftu Restaurant and Lounge, Djibouti!We are pleased to know that you have had a wonderful experience and enjoyeddine with us and I look forward to your return.Regards,Mahad EguehOperations DirectorKuriftu Restaurant and Lounge, Djibouti.

Recommended by other tourists. On their advice I went for the Yemeni fish - grilled spicy fish with chapati. Delicious ! As it's freshly prepared you will have to wait 20-30 minutes. Large portions, Simple restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, no alcohol. Close to Sheraton hotel but easily walkable from town centre (under 20 minutes).
