These photographs show the suitably-named Rock Restaurant, which boasts a unique location - in the Indian Ocean.
It can sometimes be reached on foot, but at certain times of the day and night, diners have to be transported to and from the rock by boat.
It is located in Zanzibar, East Africa, and has attracted several visitors since it opened last year.
Restaurant partner Nigel Firman, 47, said: 'The Rock Restaurant is a magical place and is an experience you are never likely to forget.'
He added: 'If visitors come to the restaurant while the sea is low, they are able to walk to the rock with no problem.
'But as they usually stay late on into the evening when the sea is high around the rock, we provide a boat service which travels to and from the shore.'
Serving mainly seafood caught from the Indian Ocean that surrounds the rock, the restaurant also provides an outside area for visitors to enjoy the magical views.
'Anyone that visits our restaurant are at first speechless, or all they can say is "wow",' said Mr Firman.
'From when I first saw the rock I knew it would make the perfect restaurant.'
The restaurant, which opens for lunch and dinner, seats 45 people and is 7m high, allowing the water around it to rise 4.5m up the rock.
Diner Sarah Foote, 37, said: 'We drove over one hour to have lunch at this truly unique restaurant'.
The view is amazing, the location is amazing, the whole restaurant was outstanding, it is a very magical experience all round.'
