The best restaurants Antsirabe

Near the small market, in a popular district, the restaurant Le Pousse-Pousse is a popular address for travelers and residents alike. One sits in a décor of fitted rickshaws (children love it, older children a little less), and the cuisine is of high quality. Here, you will enjoy very good zebu brochettes, excellent home-made mashed potatoes, camarons with pastis, but also home-made foie gras... Note that you can also appreciate the musical atmosphere, as well as the "Cabaret" evenings once a month in season.

A must for Asian cuisine in Antsirabe. Installed in a former butcher's shop, a pretty little shack with orange walls, with a terrace, all nicely decorated, the Conterno proposes Asian specialities at low prices. Woks, strips of zebu with Teryaki sauce, egg rolls, stir-fried rice... everything is freshly made to order. The wait can sometimes seem a bit long, but the result on the plate is worth it. Don't leave without having tasted the homemade ice cream! Exquisite. The iced coffee is not bad either.

The Zandina is a very popular address for travelers as well as tourism professionals, such as tour operators. In an elegant decor (there are many paintings for sale on the wall), this pizzeria offers a la carte dishes and suggestions depending on the arrival. Very good romazava of chicken and zebu with four breeds. Naina, the owner, trained as a chef in Italy: you can therefore rely on the pizzas and fresh pasta if you are homesick for Europe! The whole place leaves a good memory.

The hostel Chez Jenny has a mixed decoration, both rustic and modern, where the stone marries more contemporary colors. This hostel offers a very nice view on the small pond of the Green Park Hotel, located just next door. The cuisine is at the same time European, Malagasy and Creole (yes, it is possible!). You will eat very good pizzas cooked on wood fire, but also very good salted cakes. Don't miss the fresh fruit juices, each one as tasty as the other. A sure value!

The reputation of L'Insolite is well established. We go there for its cuisine, but also for the atmosphere. You always have a good time. The menu changes regularly and all the continents are represented:bò bún, laab kai, gyozas, sweet potato gnocchi with Reblochon sauce, chicken karma, fajitas, burgers, goulash, pan-fried foie gras, zebu fondue, raclettes, truffade auvergnate, just to name a few dishes. And for those who don't want to leave empty-handed, on the other side of the garden, Sam has opened a store selling local products.

A rather neat decor, tables set on a shaded terrace, or by the fire for the coolest days. The service is attentive and the dishes, rather well presented, are correct for the price. There are divergent opinions on quality, which seems to be very uneven, but we enjoyed our last meal. The chef's vanilla puree is worth a visit.

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.

The restaurant of the guesthouse, on the ground floor on the street, is a delight for low-budget travellers. It's simple, quality and copious. Always a good atmosphere, and enough to make travel friends.
