Doors to Zanzibar (Zanzibar White Sand)
$$$ · Upscale·Leashed only
The main restaurant of Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa, a villa property behind the dunes at Paje, with a mother-of-pearl chandelier over the lounge and a menu built on reef fish and the hotel's own vegetable garden.
Why it made the list
It is the only east-coast restaurant I could verify in writing as pet-welcome, and it has outdoor seating in the garden.
Good to know before you go
The property's Relais & Chateaux page ticks 'Pets welcome' and 'Outdoor seating available' for this restaurant; the hotel's own website returned a server error when I checked it, so treat the detail as brand-level rather than freshly confirmed. A dog at an outdoor table is the realistic expectation, and you should call ahead. Confidence: medium.
Practical notes
Reserve and mention the dog in the same request – the outdoor tables are limited.
Paje is a 60-75 minute drive from Stone Town; do not attempt it at midday heat.

The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
Stone Town's seafront park between the Old Fort and the House of Wonders, restored by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture with the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar. By day it is palms, benches, paving and harbour views; after sunset the lawns become the island's best-known street-food market.
A flat paved promenade along the rebuilt seawall, running from Forodhani past the dhow harbour and ferry terminal to Shangani. It is where Stone Town comes out to walk, fish and watch the sun drop into the Indian Ocean.
A family-owned five-star eco-resort of 40 villas spread through 60,000 sq m of forest and spice garden, fronting a private 500 m bay just north of Marumbi on the east coast. Four restaurants, a spa and an over-water gym sit behind the beach.
