A most picturesque market, where it is strongly recommended to come accompanied. Everything was uncovers: precious wood (probably contraband), crafts of all kinds, precious stones or semi-precious… A true bazaar of the exotic. The price of a high hair, however, breaks with the local atmosphere.

The Beekeeper trains farmers in beekeeping to provide an alternative source of income to cutting wood for charcoal. They produce pure, traceable honeys with exotic and unique flavors. The honey house is the place where the honey is processed after being harvested in the four corners of Mada. The honey house works 24 hours a day during the harvesting period, the rest of the time it is put into jars for local sales or preparation for export. Tourists are welcome in the workshop, also to taste the honey (yum) and of course to buy some!

A little way from the center, this market is undoubtedly one of the most authentic in the capital. It has, as they say, "a soul". It also offers the best value for money in Malagasy handicrafts. The choice is vast. But handicrafts are only a small part of this huge, labyrinthine market. It's a small town in itself, with vendors selling vegetables, spices, sambos and a thousand other things.

The market of Isotry is undoubtedly one of the most popular of Tana. It is also one of the oldest, since it was "born" in 1938! It was called "Tsena sabotsy" (Saturday market). It is divided into several areas: fabric market, fruit market (especially from the east coast), fish market (small smoked shrimps, salted fishes...), and some handicrafts (especially based on recuperation and natural fibers). Quite calm, but a certain caution is required. This is also the place where you will be able to find possible stolen objects!

The store displays hundreds of products on shelves that go up to the ceiling. This small grocery store introduces travelers and inhabitants of the capital to products made from plants, vegetables and fruits, most of which are unique and of which at least 12 new products are published every month. As a gift, souvenir or simply for the love of flavors and scents, you can buy homemade jams cooked in a cauldron, spices, natural cosmetics, chutneys, achards, condiments, mustards etc.

The traditional Dzama rum, made from molasses, is undoubtedly the best of Madagascar, the only one to be declined in several products (white rums, amber rums, old rums, arranged rums, creams of rums, punches...). The particularities of Dzama rums are linked to its history and to the specificities of the Malagasy terroir: they are made from sugar cane growing in the north of the island and possess unique aromatic properties - notably notes of cloves, ylang-ylang and vanilla, plants growing in the middle of the cane.

A chocolate planter in Madagascar, this emblematic company was founded in 1940. From traditional creations to unexpected combinations, La Chocolaterie processes only the finest cocoa from its own plantations. A myriad of its products can be found in this boutique, as well as in many other outlets around the country. Committed to the Pur Beurre de Cacao label, the chocolate factory uses only Madagascar cocoa butter in its production, with no chemical treatments in the processing. An exceptional product that is the pride of the country!

Located in the Millenium building, in the heart of the vazahas' residential area, L'Art Blanc is a bakery, a local grocery store, with an Italian tendency, which offers traditional breads and pastries, and a restaurant. You can taste artisanal ice creams of very good quality to take away or to consume on the spot, in the small tea room. The latter is a small pleasant room, in a cosy atmosphere where one can spend a pleasant moment. Some even say that it is the best bakery of Tana!

Le Gourmet is first and foremost a sales outlet for exceptional products imported or selected in Madagascar: delicatessen, tea, coffee, chocolate, bakery, artisanal patisserie (the traditional baguette is worthy of the best French bakeries!), as well as luxury products (Caviar de Rova, for example!). There's also a pleasant tearoom area where you can enjoy your meal on the spot. There's also a good selection of mixed salads. Le Gourmet has two other addresses in Tana: Ivato and Viventa Plaza Ambatobe.

Opened in 2012, this shopping centre is undoubtedly the most luxurious in Madagascar and the largest in Tana with its 80 stores. Shops of all kinds (prices as in France or almost) and "food court" (restaurants/snacks/fast food area). A corner of Europe in the middle of the rice fields....

This open-sky market is called because the train went very slowly along this old railway. It sells fruit, vegetables, medicinal plants, cheap tools and electronics. The hotel was very quiet and very quiet.

The Mahamasina market deserves a visit every Thursday. Popular and colourful. More to immerse yourself in the Malagasy atmosphere than to discover your favorite chaise chair.

According to some, the best bread of Tana… although the place is no longer so frequented as in the past. Petri and baked in the oven oven, it is delicious. The complete organic bread, the dietary diététique pizza or the sandwiches also!

Every Wednesday morning, the restaurant Au Rendez-vous (at the roundabout of the French high school) makes its «small market» by welcoming local producers. Bill is one of them and offers pastries, terrines, dry saucers, figatellis, ham ham, ham nuts, etc. There are also its charcuterie boards in some of the city's establishments, including No Quel Bar.
