Where to eat African food in Bagamoyo: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on African food in Bagamoyo, Pwani Region, Tanzania. Bagamoyo, Tanzania, is a town founded at the end of the 18th century, though it is an extension of a much older (8th century) settlement, Kaole. It was the capital of German East Africa and was one of the most important trading ports along the East African coast. Now, the town has about 30,000 inhabitants and is the capital of the Bagamoyo District, which was recently considered as a World Heritage Site.

5. Kobil Restaurant
Reviewed By AtlanticTyger
Our driver pulled into the Kobil restaurant for a quick "on-the-road" lunch while en route to Dar-es-Salaam. The buffet offered an enormous variety of vegetable dishes, plus chicken, fish, beef stew, curries, etc. There were many people in the restaurant, but we six were the only tourists. The owner greeted us warmly and remembered us from our previous stop on the way north. We were very comfortable. A waiter offered and brought us soft drinks which were à la carte. Two visits here were both nice. A note, the restaurant is open air and while clean, especially by local standards, there are flies which are going to turn some western tourists off. But, reality check, this is Africa and not a tourist hotel.
4. Papaa Msofe
Reviewed By canuckinfrance
We stayed in Bagamoyo for over three weeks and after eating at Papaa Msofe's it became our everyday choice for lunch. The food was excellent value, and the choices and prices are prominently displayed on a menu board so you don't feel like you're being overcharged as a foreigner. The service was very attentive and speedy. The owner, William, is also the server and he was professionally trained in the restaurant business - and it really shows. The food is local variety e.g. beans, meat, fish served with ugali or rice with a side of vegetables. We appreciated the choice of okra and cabbage in addition to sauteed greens. The juice is fantastic, freshly prepared and chilled until its almost a 'slushy'. In the morning you can get beans and chapattis, mandazi and chai for a great price. Importantly, the quality of the food was consistently high and the place was always clean. The clientele included women and families, something not common in Tanzania, and it is a testament to the overall quality of the restaurant. Papaa Msofe's has only been open a few months, and we noticed more and more customers were coming everyday over our time in Bagamoyo. If you're a foreign tourist, a Tanzanian, or a local this is one of the best places for a meal in town.

We visited Nashes Cafe to try their coffee and ended up returning again, they serve fresh coffee with a piece of a Zanzibar sweet which tastes like Turkish delight with sesame seeds! Amazing.I had prawns one day and curried octopus another, both well presented, one on a wooden board the other on a shell.We enjoyed the roof terrace which has furniture crafted from all kinds of scavenged wood including boats. There are deck chairs that look like they came from the sixties.Food is good, coffee great, prices very reasonable, atmosphere quite enchanting in a bizarre way.Thank you soo much.Karibu tena

Was in Bagamoyo 4 years ago and stumbled across Poa Poa. This time I made sure we found it again. Great fresh food and good local cuisine and the odd toasted sandwich and chips to boot. Prices are good and itâs next to a great little art dealer if your keen.
