Top 10 French food in Nosy Be, Antsiranana Province, Madagascar
Find out what French restaurants to try in Nosy Be. “Nosy Be?” Is that a typo for “Noisy Bee?” Nope. It means “big island” and it is just that; a large island off the northwest coast of Madagascar. Here you’ll find volcanic lakes, lazy lemurs, rum distilleries, Ylang Ylang plantations and intricate coral reefs that are practically begging to be explored. Flora and fauna lovers will be in seventh heaven at the beautiful Lokobe Nature Special Reserve. Audiophiles should visit in May, to experience the four-day Donia Music Festival.

Is the place a best kept secret ? Quite possibly, but what is certain is the quality of dishes served at Tsy Manin. After going through the entire strip of Ambatoloka beach, we returned many times to Tsy Manin because its food, service and place are simply very enjoyable.

A very charming little restaurant with a friendly welcome and a cuisine that is both refined and simple, making it an unusual restaurant in Dieo Suarez.

You can have cocktails, lunch and dinner at our restaurant, entirely open on a terrace overlooking the bay, and surrounded by our freshwater pool: you can read while contemplating the ocean, try your hand at a Malagasy game , or log in - free - Wifi inter

The staff was attentive and spoke a fair amount of English - something we did not find everywhere on Nosy Be. Lovely view over bay, good white wine available and ice to keep it cold. We stayed in a villa close by and had a few meals here- the seafood obviously best, but I also had a traditional dish of chicken in a coconut and pineapple sauce which was delicious. Can recommend the restaurant - they also seem to keep the ever present swarms of flies away.

Stopped here for lunch after a gruelling Madagascar trip before booking into the Grand Hotel. The restaurant was empty on arrival but nicely laid out for lunch. The choices of food was very good with a decent Specials Board too. Had a very nice lunch that didnât break the bank on the veranda overlooking the sea and beach. The staff didnât speak much English but we managed. By the time weâd left it was quite busy so thatâs a good sign. The food was very nice and typical Malagasy. The place has a decent Wi-fi too which is not always the case here. We can definitely recommend this restaurant.

Excellent location with great sea view - very nice to watch the fishermen getting back from sea , the locals arriving with their stuff to see - however , the service is really not attentive and the fruits are of poor quality.

Really nice work on the decoration- wooden artwork-baobab lighting etc. The kitchen is mostly French style waitresses are nice and the owner-cook welcoming but if you don't speak French you will have a big problem because there is no English menu and nobody speaks English so because of that the only choice we had was to get the burger that was the easy one to understand and it was great!!!super good burger but other than that we had to guess what the other things were and we chose a mid cooked pork that we don't eat anyways! Well I think if you are French you really have to visit this gourmet place but for no French speaking people you might end up eating the tongue of zebu of a snail or something that you won't know what that is ! P.s the double chocolate ice cream was really good too

We had lunch for two of the three days in this area and so enjoyed meeting Nono and eating at his wonderful restaurant. The food is freshly prepared, his burgers are awesome and his chicken satay is as good as any Bali restaurant. My fiance had the Chicken with mushroom sauce and chips which was excellent! The prices of this restaurant is much more affordable than other restaurants in the same road and offers excellent value for money. Nono also has South African wines and THB Beer at affordable prices and good quality! His waitresses are all wonderful and very eager to please with good english. All in all a wonderful experience not to be missed!!
