Went here to eat fondue with a group of friends and was not disappointed, beautifully prepared yummy fondue with ample supplies of bread, potato and vegetables to dip in! None of us were left hungry!We had a lovely bottle of South African wine to accompany.

This place is excellent for pastries, cakes, ice cream and a variety of baked goods. Either for take out or to eat on the spot it is a nice place to go. It is also quite centralized.Very safe spot to eat, never got sick off of it.Highly recommended for Tamatave.

LA TERRASSE

Reviewed By Johny H

Visited the place to eat food with colleague and to get first hand experience of lots I heard about it. Food quality is good. Friendly and efficient services. Prices are reasonable and easy access . Excellent place to pick up visiting girls to accompany you with little fee for service. Place is very crowdy and so the music level. I fail to understand the complacency of the owner (nice English speaking person) to uplift the condition. If you are a man looking for something more than food please visit. If you have children or genuine girl friend - not sure if I recommend it.

L'Affiche

Reviewed By KatrienS955

Our driver recommended this place, and it served probably the best food we had in Madagascar. As in most restaurants the menu is in essence French and European, with with Malagasy ingredients, such as the excellent zebu. I had tournedos Rossini, and it was just excellent. The service was very friendly, and we spent a great evening here.

La Terrasse

Reviewed By H.C. H

This place is cool because it has a misting machine that keeps it cooled down. There is good pizza and gratin veggies among other things. But due to the constant influx of people you sometimes might get a funny stomach afterwards. It doesn't stop us from going though especially when we need wifi. I wouldn't want to go there at night though; it is filled with older french men and young Malagasy women. This has turned off several of our visitors but if you go during the day the atmosphere is quite nice. There are beggars outside but for the most part they don't bother you too much. It is close to all the major shopping, banks, and the Homeopharma Massage clinic!

Ocean 5O1

Reviewed By Moratwa

I must have gone to that restaurant like 10 times that is how good the food is. Plus the view....you will be seating having lunch getting a breeze of the sea ....it's stunning. However their need is not the best as in Madagascar there are no real cows just what they call zebu and if you know real beef you will know that zebu is not the greatest - just a warning . And do make a booking. It gets full on Sundays

La Villa Tamatave

Reviewed By adrianloader

This joint is rather uneven, possibly following the change of ownership, and I've given it the benefit of the doubt. The service in the large but reasonably inviting bar downstairs (with weird oil drum furniture) was efficient but not friendly, whereas upstairs in the restaurant we were served with a smile but the food didn't all come at the same time. Similarly, the cooking was up and down - my tuna tartare was not tuna and rather tasteless whereas the entrée of calamari with potatoes and aubergine was stellar. The wines were very drinkable with some decent white Bordeaux and the beer was nicely chilled. Inside was fine but, if you're not in a large group, the terrace looked a more attractive bet. It was pretty quiet for a Saturday night by the by.
