GARE DES MANGUIERS

"L'Orient Express" is a semi-gastro restaurant with an intimate atmosphere. "La Brasserie de la Gare" offers travellers fine Italian specialities. as for "Le Wagon", it offers a more relaxed atmosphere: burgers, kebabs and draught beer, with DJ music in the background. A rather nicely refurbished complex.
CUISINE DE RUE

In the streets around the Bazar-Bé, on the seafront, in front of the great mosque or at the bus station, you'll find gargotes where you can sit down in the warm evening to enjoy brochettes and sambos served at very modest prices. We also recommend some good little local addresses: Adam et Eve, Koinonia or L'Affiche!

CÔTÉ COUR
Read moreBurgers (about ten to choose from) and pizzas (we recommend the "Tue l'amour" or "La Bomba"), make the success of this restaurant, but Yohan, the owner and former chef, also proposes about fifteen more elaborate dishes. The menu changes every week. The greedy ones will not miss the house ice cream, caramel salted butter: a delight! You can sit inside or... on the courtyard side, very pleasant. Yohan also manages another restaurant in town, La Braise, which offers the same pizzas and burgers, with a delivery service.
FORTUNA

The establishment has benefited from a makeover and offers several formulas, divided into 3 adjacent units: the express catering, the family canteen to enjoy a soup on the go, and the restaurant for a more complete and gastronomic meal. The spaces are pleasant, and the cuisine tasty. It is said that the best Chinese soup in Tamatave is served there. Tested and approved!
