Indian Ocean and Pacific cuisine restaurants Madagascar

Building on its success in Sakalava Bay (with its small beach restaurant, adjacent to Kite Alizé), Béa launched its annex in town! And it's a success. The restaurant is located at the bottom of a covered alleyway. Colourful tables and an intimate setting. The menu (generally 4 starters, 4 main courses and 3 desserts of your choice: sweet potato toast with guacamole, roasted cabri, squid brochettes, bananas grilled with Nutella...) changes according to the market of the day. It's simple, good, healthy and cheap. It is easy to make it your everyday canteen.

A true institution in Majunga! Unfortunately, the charismatic Karon who embodied the Majunga of old left us in January 2019. The adventure continues with brio however! In what remains an address not to be missed in the city, one comes to feast; seafood, game and Chinese specialties of reputation!), one can also sleep there (24 ventilated or air-conditioned rooms with sea view), and one can even organize hunting and fishing trips (for the amateurs of the kind). The establishment was renovated in 2017.

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!

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.

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!

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.
