Madagascan restaurants in Africa

  1. Restaurant Razafimanjy

    This locally recommended place (you see a lot of couples dining with their drivers) cooks Malagasy-seasoned Chinese food with excellent results. The menu is very long, with meat, chicken and seafood cooked dozens of different ways. There are also a number of vegetarian choices. The stir-fried Chinese noodles we ate here were the best we found in the country. There is cabaret at night, and the attached internet café stays open until midnight.

  2. Panda Restaurant

    If your ultimate fantasy involves dining on sautéed bat while staring at murals of copulating pandas painted on a restaurant wall, fulfil it here. Definitely a top contender for Madagascar's strangest eating establishment, Panda serves an eclectic menu that includes bat, pigeon, frog and wild duck. It also does excellent Chinese. Ring ahead if you're absolutely craving bat or pigeon, as they are not always available.

    Le Perroquet Bleu

    Another friendly wood-clad restaurant with a bar-like feel to it, serving up all kinds of French and regional dishes. The eponymous blue parrot is still just about clinging to its perch, though it's a scraggy shadow of its former self if the oil-painting portrait on the wall is anything to go by.

  4. Melita

    This smart restaurant serves European and Malagasy food, and concocts every cocktail imaginable; the list is definitely long. There's a great breeze from the tables at the clean terrace bar. The small menu includes pasta and fish along with a variety of meat dishes.

    L'Arche

    This long-established place serves homely French favourites and pizzas to expats, river guides and tourists - a Tsiribihina River company is based out of the bar. L'Arche grooves after dark on nights when reggae and traditional Malagasy bands rock the place.

  6. L'Oasis Hôtel

    Presided over by an affable local guy called Jean le Rasta, or Rasta Jean, the bar and restaurant at this hotel is definitely engaging. There is live music, including drums and reggae performed by Rasta Jean and other local musicians. The food is great.

    A popular local place with Malagasy dishes, seafood and pizzas early in the evenings, and traditional music and dancing later on.
