Côté Jardin

Nosy Be


There's a charming colonial air to this old house with its veranda at the front overlooking the town gardens, cool interior and more seating in its own garden at the back. It's as fine dining as you'll get in Hell-Ville, but unfortunately not open for dinner. Breakfast includes fruit juice, coffee and a croissant for Ar13,100.
