SECRET GARDEN
Secluded and tucked away in a walled garden, the Secret Garden restaurant at Emerson Spice is a romantic, magical haven away from the noisy hustle and bustle of Stone Town. The perfect place to enjoy a quiet rest over lunch and savour the ambience of old Zanzibar.
Upstairs, the hidden away lounge is a perfect spot for coffee or cocktails, all classics with a Zanzibar twist.
Special events are hosted in the Secret Garden, varying from book launches to wedding celebrations. It is possible to be seated in the dining room or book the whole venue for your event.
A special location for private functions.

“Spaces are magical, always have been for me. Since childhood, often when I walk into a space for the first time, I’m confronted with a narrative, a feeling, a history, some characters. Like Jacques, in “As You Like It,” there is a myth, an opera, a film or a play stretching out on stage before me. These stages present themselves for me to play on and, for even more fun, to play with. The romantic and erotic are always embedded in the space.” Emerson Skeens
