FOOD & DINING IN TANZANIA
GENERAL
Most hotels serve local Tanzanian food while the major hotels offer Western and other international food. Dar es Salaam is not one of the world's prime destination for gourmets. The good news is that there are new restaurants appearing almost weekly and this is a huge leap forward from just a few years ago where there were only two or three restaurants in town that didn't give you a runny tummy. Now, honest Italian, Chinese, Indo/Pakistani and International cuisine abounds and prices are reasonable by western standard. Run of the mill type wines are available from South Africa and this is punctuated with the occasional bright spots heralded by French wines from time to time. Beers, local and a variety of imported are freely available as are most liquors in restaurants and grocery stores.
Table service is normal in restaurants. Bars generally have counter service. Tanzania is a secular state and alcohol is not prohibited. Zanzibar's population is predominantly Muslim. Alcohol is available in some tourist hotels and restaurants, but should not be drunk in public.
National specialties
• Seafood such as prawns and lobsters.
• Tropical fruit such as coconuts, pawpaws, mangoes, pineapples and bananas.
National drinks
• A good lager, Safari, is produced locally.
• Konyagi is a popular gin.
• A chocolate and coconut liqueur called Afrikoko.
• A wine called Dodoma, which comes in red or rosé.
Tipping: Not generally encouraged, though waiters and porters in tourist hotels and restaurants may expect to be tipped.
