Restaurants cuisine du monde Madagascar

Good Malagasy and Creole Creole cuisine at a soft price. You can even sleep there!

A fine restaurant in a lovely setting, facing the shimmering lagoon. Enjoy an aperitif on the pontoon, then sit down to enjoy the house specialty with an idyllic view: the famous funnel crab. You'll also appreciate the lobster tagliatelle, duck with seasonal fruits, lemongrass camarons and fresh fish (the owner is an avid fisherman). In fact, he regularly organizes inshore and deep-sea fishing trips, as well as mountain bike rentals. A great time to be had, especially as Pascal and Josiane are so welcoming.

In the middle of rue Colbert, on the right side of the road going towards the sea, find some steps with Italian colors, climb to the^first floor, it's there. A room extended by a covered terrace overhanging the street, a nice atmosphere like a family trattoria, some decorating effects, a tasty smell of pizza oven, Giovanni and Stefania at the controls.... and make the Margherita spin! A great asset and not the least: the indoor games area for children, so that you can have a drink at the bar without speeding up. We say thank you.

This warm restaurant, located in the calm of a large flowered courtyard, has the particularity of being adjacent to a spa (the Vaniala Natural Spa & Shop), a way to combine the pleasures of taste with a moment of well-being. After or before a treatment, for breakfast or afternoon tea, or just for lunch or dinner in a pleasant and zen setting, you can enjoy a healthy cuisine with an emphasis on dietetic and vegetarian dishes. Also tasty traditional Malagasy dishes at very honest prices.

You can enjoy good pizzas. Home delivery.

Chez Vivie is a small and very clean 100% Malagasy restaurant that serves good and varied food at friendly prices. Viviane is a very nice lady, whose cooking has been appreciated by locals and travelers for many years. It's a pity that the service is so slow, you lose a lot of time, be warned. A good option is to book in advance to avoid having to wait sometimes up to an hour - the time to go and buy the products and cook them up. At least the freshness is guaranteed!

Dishes with Chinese flavors not expensive at all, and also bichiques, types of glass eels (these are not eels, but species of small fish, like alvins in fact), that women are looking in the ocean in the little morning, from water up to the waist, to bring four or five kilos.

Both a pastry shop and a restaurant, the Coq d'Or is well known by all the inhabitants of Moramanga and the region. This establishment serves indeed varied and copious dishes, prepared with delight since many years. Very popular, the place is a victim of its success and the wait can be a little long, be warned. The pastries are excellent, as well as the ice creams, which can be taken away if you wish!

Home specialities: Vanilla duck, sanitary of homemade sausages, chicken curry, massalé curry. Dishes of the day. Also some comfortable rooms are not too expensive. A warm and family atmosphere.

In a pleasant setting on the edge of the canal, very green, a varied menu offering wood-fired pizzas, meats, fish, pasta... Everything is very good. We even found there the taste of the caramel cream of our grandmothers! We also like the homemade chocolate mousse, a treat. La Capannina also proposes a very nice menu of Malagasy dishes, from the most classical to the less usual ones to find in restaurants. We also like the large choice of arranged rums, which we will drink with pleasure in company of Léa, the friendly owner.

Beautiful house, chic and elegant, with a cosy atmosphere. Traditional French cuisine, Perigord specialties and a good cellar. Extensive menu with more than 90 dishes. The half-cooked tuna tournedos, the Rossini salad or the duck breast with honey and ginger are absolutely sublime. Prices are a bit high but we appreciate the large panoramic terrace on the top floor (wood-fired pizzas) and the lounge bar (on the first floor) with giant screens. Nice selection of wines. Live jazz on Friday and Saturday, and well prepared cocktails.

A really simple Chinese restaurant (radio and TV in Chinese too!), held as just by… a Chinese (who hardly speaks French or Malagasy). Very good value for money: wan tan mine, half-moon, Sao mine, Cantonese rice, tsa (pork pork), steam chicken and squid… and a delicious painted duck. To discover.

An emblem in Amborovy! Restaurant/shack on the beach, offering an excellent cuisine, copious and affordable: shrimp crisp, breaded nymphs legs, grouper filet with capers, kidneys with old fashioned mustard sauce, home made chocolate mousse (a must)... In short, a varied menu, and a great fridge! Beautiful sunsets, with a caipirinha of course! Moreover, the wifi is free. And don't worry, grandpa with his big white beard doesn't complain so much... the beach is maintained moreover!

Literally overlooking the city of Tana, the restaurant of the Niaouly hotel proposes a daily fresh cuisine cooked on the spot. Traditional Malagasy dishes, zebu cooked with all kinds of sauces, but also soups and finely worked seafood: you will be spoilt for choice. The very friendly team is also in charge of the hotel's rooms (at affordable rates) and can also organize excursions in Mada. A good address!

Chez Dédé is the address that everyone knows in Belo. Tourists as well as locals meet there, around a cuisine without much pretension but which remains good and especially very friendly. The inhabitants of Belo have their beer there in the morning, when they take a break from their schooner construction site. The chef offers two dishes of the day, simple and fresh. Dédé also offers some rudimentary bungalows. The restaurant's shaded terrace is particularly appreciated in the warm hours.

A magnificent setting and a delicious cuisine: Laurence, the manager of the hotel and restaurant l'Entremer, is a favorite. Laurence cooks like she likes to eat, healthy, fresh and varied! The dishes of the day are concocted with passion: ray gratin, lemon snapper, green bean mousse, seafood risotto... Everything on the table is home-made. Laurence has even created recipe cards to train her Malagasy teams in the flavors and customs of other countries. A treat for an excellent quality-price ratio!

Come and enjoy a refined cuisine in the historic hotel of the city. The gastronomic cuisine of the day is extra fresh because it is prepared with the products of the adjacent garden... which we warmly recommend to visit (tropical garden on the edge of the river which invites you to disconnect completely). We recommend eating on the terrace to the sound of birds and frogs. Cherry on the cake: you can also enjoy the natural pools of the hotel (20 000 Ar).

One comes to Toko Telo for the Malagasy specialties and one wishes to stay there for its pleasant and airy atmosphere with its pretty view on the heights of Tana. Specialties of zebus, fish, seafood, and chicken or pork with Malagasy sauce. Let yourself be tempted by the fried silkworms. As for sweets, the 100% homemade ice creams are to die for! In addition, the reception of the owner Landy is very friendly. The name comes from the Malagasy proverb meaning "you need three feet to succeed in cooking". We strongly recommend it!

Farid Allali Zidane offers a new culinary experience in the heart of Isoraka, inspired by southern Mediterranean, northern and Indian cuisines. From the bar, you can see the chefs at work in the glassed-in kitchen. Briques, tajines, chorba soup, chawarmas... everything is made with fresh, selected ingredients. The dishes are enhanced by local spices. Meticulously decorated, with an original wine cellar and an intimate upstairs dining room for dinner with friends or lovers. Without batting an eyelid, the best couscous of our trip to Madagascar!

An atmospheric musical bar, hosted by Brigitte and Laurent Dufey, a Malgo-Swiss couple who have settled in this dream setting. Europeans and tourists alike gather here at lunchtime to enjoy grilled fish, calamari, shrimp and zebu fillets. The restaurant is equipped with board games to share on the terrace between two readings. On request, excursions can be organized with local guides. The restaurant also offers accommodation for 3 people in an individual bungalow with shower.

Nana and Philippe managed to make a nice little restaurant where you can find the classics of Franco-Malagasy cuisine, inspired by seafood, but not only. Philippe is Breton... so much to say that the buckwheat pancakes are worth a visit. And on Sundays, more family, it's couscous, cassoulet, lasagne or tajine! L'Etoile is also famous for its vegetarian burgers, as well as for its fabulous collection of arranged rums with multiple flavours (3,000 Ar per glass)! With good hearing, good tasting.

Two or three tables on the terrace for this cheap Malagasy snack. Jeannot Mec, originally from the highlands, cooks pork in his own way, and everyone comes to enjoy it! The kebabs, with the organization of parties, are another of his specialties. Every Friday evening, it is a cabaret atmosphere; it must be said that Mr. knows a good number of artists of his region. In short, a lively place where it is good to spend the evening, we recommend.

Tamatave's former train station was given a facelift in 2014 and boasts two restaurants, a rather original snack bar, a vast conference room and a shopping arcade. "L'Orient Express" is a semi-gastro restaurant with an intimate atmosphere. "La Brasserie de la Gare" offers travellers fine Italian specialities. as for "Le Wagon", it offers a more relaxed atmosphere: burgers, kebabs and draught beer, with DJ music in the background. A rather nicely refurbished complex.

It is the restaurant of the hotel "Sur la plage". In a relaxed setting and atmosphere, with a very pleasant terrace (particularly popular at sunset), you can enjoy grilled fish and seafood, lobster, depending on the arrival, but also Malagasy dishes, masikita (marinated zebu skewers), pizzas or tsaki-tsaki for the aperitif: follow the system of slates with small squares for the management of live stocks! Fresh, good, friendly: a good address in Mangily!

This is the restaurant of the Grand Hotel Urban. Very urban-chic, it is one of the pretty settings of the capital, especially since the room, cosy and comfortable, is extended by a fabulous skybar terrace with a panoramic view. As the chain is Spanish, the menu naturally offers tasty Mediterranean cuisine (various tapas, octopus in the Galician style, broken egg with Serrano ham, paella valenciana, etc.) and a selection of local dishes (braised zebu carpaccio etc.). For a 360° view of the city, go to the rooftop bar: great!

We come to DS Mandoky for the 100% Malagasy atmosphere and for the tasty dishes. A dozen daily specials are offered on the slate, prepared using local, seasonal produce. Seafood, fish and meat are all on the menu, as are traditional Malagasy dishes. You'll enjoy tasty, quality cuisine for good value. What's more, the dining room is large and airy, which is appreciated in the heat of Diego... All you'll want to do is come back and try the rest of the menu!

Tamatave's culinary specialty is none other than Chinese soup! Chinese restaurants are plentiful, and you're bound to find a few surprises. In the streets around the Bazar-Bé, on the seafront, in front of the great mosque or at the bus station, you'll find gargotes where you can sit down in the warm evening to enjoy brochettes and sambos served at very modest prices. We also recommend some good little local addresses: Adam et Eve, Koinonia or L'Affiche!

Here is a very small restaurant, on the side of the road, where you can come and eat on the go, without fear for your stomach. Here everything is simple: the menu is minimalist (a dish based on rice and meat, another based on noodles, all accompanied by soup). A room opening on the backyard, a small terrace: it's a perfect place to stop on your way. It's simple, it's good and there are no nasty surprises. In addition, the view is breathtaking on the cemetery, with the numerous animals coming to walk there...

Often original dish (rabbit, rillettes, etc.) at low prices. Charcuterie plates. Cooking specialities with wood fire. A good plan, good simple.

A little restaurant without the way you eat. As you will remember, Ernest has self-proclaimed the king of lobster. His table is as well known as the Loulou. Just as popular on Sundays.

Good pizzeria. In addition, it is not very expensive. Also offers réunionnaises and French specialities.

The Spoon Café offers a cuisine rich in colors and flavors. You will be offered gourmet and "healthy" salads, "poké bowls", fresh fruit juices, but also excellent signature burgers and other croque-monsieur. Special mention for the lemon pie that all the gourmands will appreciate! With a very pleasant team, the welcome is particularly friendly and the service fast. The whole in a rather cosy setting, on the terrace or inside. We recommend this good address in the district of Ivandry!

Burgers (about ten to choose from) and pizzas (we recommend the "Tue l'amour" or "La Bomba"), make the success of this restaurant, but Yohan, the owner and former chef, also proposes about fifteen more elaborate dishes. The menu changes every week. The greedy ones will not miss the house ice cream, caramel salted butter: a delight! You can sit inside or... on the courtyard side, very pleasant. Yohan also manages another restaurant in town, La Braise, which offers the same pizzas and burgers, with a delivery service.

Chinese food lovers, this address has been an institution for over 30 years! A family business that has been in operation for two generations. The establishment has benefited from a makeover and offers several formulas, divided into 3 adjacent units: the express catering, the family canteen to enjoy a soup on the go, and the restaurant for a more complete and gastronomic meal. The spaces are pleasant, and the cuisine tasty. It is said that the best Chinese soup in Tamatave is served there. Tested and approved!

One of the best addresses in Ambatoloaka and the best Italian restaurant in the area (which was the only one for a long time!). A varied menu of Italian specialties and seafood. Perfectly mastered cooking and Mediterranean flavors with quality products, which your palate will remember. Colorful and warm atmosphere, excellent service. The restaurant is just in front of the tuk-tuk station, on the main street, which is very convenient, but we prefer to sit inside than on the terrace, to be more quiet.

Fara, a self-taught chef, puts his passion to work to concoct Malagasy, Asian and European recipes that delight the taste buds and make the restaurant of the Trianon hotel, "Chez Dom", a success. Balanced flavors, carefully chosen products, perfect cooking, nothing is left to chance and everything is there to make your plate a feast. There is also a good choice of wines. One of the best tables of Antsirabe according to our teams, in the charming and welcoming setting of the hotel Le Trianon.

One of the last born in Antsirabe (2018), XV Be is the result of a project imagined by friends, of mixed origins (France, Spain, Madagascar) and rugby fans: a tapas bar, well animated on match days of course! You can come there to have a drink with friends, enjoy the friendly and festive atmosphere at the end of the week, or taste seafood specialties (parilladas, paellas, among others), in a pretty barrack with turquoise blue walls. An address to discover.

At sunset, under a light breeze, the terrace of Joo Restaurant is a delightful place to enjoy a cocktail, followed by a no less pleasant dinner. Located in the Talinjoo Hotel, it serves international cuisine, from romazava to sashimi, including burgers, grills or pizzas, not to mention lobster! If the Joo Restaurant remains one of the best restaurants in Fort-Dauphin, the setting, the view, the chic and bohemian decoration, the sea and light atmosphere, are major assets. We like it !

Rare in the whole of Tana, this resto-bar remains open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week! Notice to the night owls and to those who do not regulate their life on the time of the clocks and will come there to satisfy an early or late hunger, knowing all the same that from 23h to 6h of the morning it is the menu of the snacks which takes the relay on the principal menu. This last one declines some dishes of here and elsewhere, but bases its growing reputation on its burgers, made house of course with fresh products. Another asset of the place: the beautiful panorama on the city center.

Zebu skewers (tested and approved), zebu steak, rib, rib, rib steak, fillet.... Everything you want is in the zebu! We settle indoors or on the terrace and take the time to quench our thirst while waiting for our meal. It is not very refined, but the meat is generally tender and good. Malagasy specialities are also on the menu.

Adjoining the Maison Voajanahary, a silk craft shop, this small gargote, run by Olivier, offers a rather good local cuisine. You can eat pasta there, but as long as you have a Malagasy speciality tested so much, romazava was particularly successful during our visit. Olivier is also a guide, he can organise a half-day visit to the city's craft workshops or a day's hike in the region, or even a two- or three-day tour, with accommodation in a local house.

On the ground floor, grilled meats, seafood, burgers, pizzas... Upstairs, on the terrace, 100% Malagasy dishes that vary according to the market of the day. Copious and of high quality. A popular restaurant, very popular with regular customers, especially during the lunch period, during the week.

Varied map and wide choice of arranged rums. Breakfast early in the morning. Magnificent view of the canal and warm welcome of Sylvie and Jean-Louis.

Residents often meet in the morning for breakfast when they come to the market. Also with wood fire pizzas, fruit juices and ice cream, and a snack card. Pleasant terrace.

Malagasy Reunionnaise, an assistant nurse by training, passionate about cooking since the beginning, Nanou returned home in 2015 to launch her table d'hôtes. His cuisine, simple and efficient, composed only of fresh products and flavours drawn from French, Reunion Island and Malagasy cuisine, is a delight for regular customers in the area. Everything is homemade, including ice cream, juices, yoghurt. And there are few tables and little or no stock, it is cooked in the morning for lunch, so first come first served!

In the most stylish youth hostel in Nosy Be, up on the roof terrace, in the urban chaos of Hellville, but in the calm of a grand street, it is a great place to sip a cocktail, drink a little foam, snack on a skewer. We are in the shade or in the open air, with a low angle view of the life that surrounds us. Cooool as a landmark for frequent travellers

In the village of Ambohimanjaka (on the RN 207 exactly on the RN 7), the Hotely Miadaniary is a very popular stopover of the brousse and residents travelling with their own car, facing the rice fields. Food 100% local.

It is in the beautiful setting of the historic garden of Andohalo that the chef Henintsoa Moretti has installed her restaurant. This woman overflowing with energy and desire to share her passion travels throughout the country to find the recipes of yesteryear and revisits them. It is thus a traditional Malagasy cuisine that she and her team present to us. The plates are refined and all the dishes are really tasty. The reception is neat, the interior room pleasant and the garden a real paradise. One of our most beautiful Malagasy gastronomic experiences.
