Restaurants cuisine du monde Tamatave – Toamasina

Located in a magnificent renovated colonial residence, we come for the contemporary chic setting, the airy terraces, the large bar below; the place is quite popular. Exhibitions and concerts are regularly organized there. A cuisine of appreciated quality, we find the great classics (foie gras, duck breast...).

On the first floor of the hotel La Veranda, you can choose between the beautiful indoor dining room and the vast shaded terrace outside. On the plate, the emphasis is on French specialties, such as escargots de Bourgogne, boudin noir, pan-fried duck breast or tournedos Rossini. Fruits and vegetables come from the region. Madame Irène has been in the business for more than 35 years, and you can feel it: the presentations are meticulous and the service is pleasant. An address to discover, especially since the prices remain low.

A popular restaurant and bar offering cheap, cheap cuisine. Relaxation and evenings are rather lively. 

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.

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!

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

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!

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.
