The best restaurants Diego-Suarez – Antsiranana

If the place is best known for its very good restaurant, Mexicoco also has four very simple rooms, with mosquito net, air conditioning, individual bathroom and a small private terrace opening onto a quiet courtyard. Prices are rather low. From the room to the restaurant-bar, there is only one step, which is very practical. The restaurant is in the same tone, well decorated, friendly, and a stone's throw from Diego's shops and entertainment.

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.

The restaurant of the Allamanda hotel has a great asset: its terrace which plunges on the bay of Diego, bewitching of night in the halo of the candles. In the background, the lapping of the waves lulls diners into a hushed setting... The menu, which has been Frenchified, offers a range of dishes based on local products: pan-fried sea food, grilled zebu fillet, pan-fried duck breast with seasonal fruits, shrimp sautéed with brèdes, romazava or tagliatelle with smoked fish... A safe bet, this is one of the most charming restaurants in town.

A bar with a Spanish-Andalusian look that doesn't just offer tapas! The menu, on a slate, is varied, according to the inspiration of the day: grouper with Sambava vanilla or camaron bisque, smoked swordfish carpaccio, zebu filet, and chocolate fondant for dessert. On order, you can also discover the royal aïoli and the lobster in Thermidor sauce. Beautiful lyrical and gastronomic flights of fancy for this good table, as warm as friendly. In the evening, animated atmosphere with sausage by the meter, caipirinhas and mojitos in the honor!

Chez Tonton Benavony "Poulet Rapide" is a Diego institution! The restaurant was taken over and completely renovated by Jo, the son of the previous owner. You can enjoy delicious Asian and Malagasy cuisine at low prices, in a neat, shady and colorful setting. The house specialty is, of course, "poulet rapide", which Jo cooks to perfection, but he also makes duck and pigs in lacquer. Rooms available for rent.

This little restaurant doesn't look like much, and yet... Very popular because of its low prices, La Cantine offers original and well-prepared dishes: smoked fish spiral with foie gras mousse, kidney pie with garlic, red wine and mustard sauce, Chinese seafood stew, zebu steak snacked with squid and homemade mashed potatoes, romazava, lamb carry with large peas... As an appetizer, why not opt for the basket of the sea? The beer is not expensive either. A recommended address !

One of the most popular restaurants in Diego for travelers (groups as well) and residents alike. One appreciates the fresh vegetables from the Joffreville garden, the escalope of fried foie gras, the beautiful grilled zebu rib, the crab soup with saffron rouille, the wild oysters, the large fishermen's platter (lobster, crab, shrimp, squid, smoked fish)... The interior, with walls lined with old photos, has the cachet of these houses that time patina and makes more beautiful. But you can also sit on the terrace, in the heart of the lively rue Colbert.

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

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.

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!
