The Rock Restaurant, Zanzibar
One of Zanzibar’s most iconic restaurants, The Rock is a must-visit for seafood lovers looking for a special dining experience in the ocean.

Let us book you a table on the terrace so you can watch the colours change on the horizon while enjoying an enormous plate of freshly caught seafood.
Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia
Dining al fresco in the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia is like being transported to another planet.

When it comes to incredible outdoor dining experiences, this one is hard to beat.

The Nest at Pacuare Lodge, Costa Rica
Costa Rica’s motto ¡Pura Vida! is brought to life at The Nest restaurant in Pacuare Lodge. Inspired by the birds that make their nests high in the trees, The Nest is perched on a platform 20 meters high in a treetop, where guests can enjoy a meal in a pure natural environment. But there’s no such thing as a free lunch here, your culinary adventure begins with a glide down a 130-meter cable to the platform high in the branches of a Ceiba tree. There you’ll find everything you need for an unforgettable breakfast or lunch waiting for you.
Uluru, Australia
Bush tucker never tasted so good. Dine under the stars at Tali Wiru, an elegant venue framed by the silhouettes of Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
