Ali Barbour’s Cave Restaurant

It's another another lovely restaurant in Kenya. Ali Barbour's Cave Restaurant's menu includes a wonderful range of seafood. Not only is the food amazing, but the overall atmosphere of the restaurant is magical.

Ali Barbour's, located in a cave said to be between 120,000 and 180,000 years old, takes dining al fresco to a whole new level. The restaurant sparkles in the dim light of candles in the nights, and customers' gazes are naturally directed to the glittering stars overhead. (In severe weather, sliding coverings are pulled to form a temporary roof.)

Founded in the 1980s by George and Jackie Barbour and named after "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," the restaurant is meant to preserve the natural aspects of the cave, with only the kitchen and restrooms updated for modern usage. The cuisine is international, but the specialty is seafood. The customers can have a dinner caught in the Indian Ocean, which is only a few feet away and perhaps at the same sea level as your table.

In the pleasant environment of Ali Barbour's Cave Restaurant, sip a bottle of exquisite wine under a canopy of stars.
