Kimbilio Lodge Restaurant
Kimbilio Lodge
A small lodge on Jimbiza Beach run by Italians, with a wooden deck restaurant serving Italian and Swahili dishes made from local catch.
Located on Jimbiza Beach at the edge of town, the lodge has just six beach cottages and is run by Italians. The restaurant, bar and lounge connect to a wooden deck facing the beach, serving cold drinks, cocktails, international dishes and Italian specialties, along with Swahili flavors. Fish is bought directly from local fishermen and cooked in the Italian style with local vegetables, and the restaurant focuses on seafood. It is a short walk from the town center, next to the Kilwa Pakaya hotel, and both are popular spots for an evening drink by the sea. Non-guests should contact the lodge in advance.
