  • 1. Pily Pily

    $ | Andilana Beach

    Huge grilled lobsters are the draw at this beach paradise, but the menu offers more. An array of fresh seafood is available fried and grilled. Also find salads, vegetables, pasta dishes and grilled meats, including exotic selections like skewered crocodile. Couples love the terrace seating overlooking the unbelievably blue sea.

  • 2. Boulangerie Zapandis

    $

    Large French pastries are the main attraction, and a chocolate-filled croissant is certainly a fine accompaniment to a cup of coffee or tea. The hot cocoa here is rich enough to be a meal in itself. The range of sweets includes cake and ice cream. Real life is right outside the door—be wary of panhandlers in the street.

  • 3. Chez Eugenie Restaurant

    $ | Andilana Beach

    Traditional Malagasy dishes made with organic vegetables and fresh seafood join fusion preparations based on French and Italian cuisine in this hotel restaurant. You can also taste some local specialties, such as the small bitter Angivy gourd and zebu (the local cattle breed), used in the beef carpaccio. Lime zests a fresh crab salad with arugula, and there’s usually a fish of the day and foie gras on the menu. The three-course set menu, around $20 for an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, is a bargain.

  • 4. Corto Maltese

    $

    Run by two Italians, this restaurant is simple inside and out, but serious about food. The small menu varies daily but always includes pasta and steak. Typical Italian dishes—spaghetti carbonara or pasta amatriciana, for instance—are usual, and smoked tuna and grilled shrimp have made appearances. Normally, the house’s popular tiramisu is on the menu. This is also a place Italian tourists depend on for good espresso, always a nice way to end evenings on the patio.

  • 5. Fishing Residence

    $$$

    This large patio dining room known for its seafood is right on the beach, and the colorful blue or orange runners on white tablecloths add to the cheery atmosphere. Artistic touches distinguish the plating of classic seafood dishes—stuffed whole lobster, crab cakes, and seafood terrine are favorites. Ginger sauce might zest grouper filets and black sesame sometimes plays on swordfish. The restaurant is part of a hotel complex of rooms and bungalows that get high marks from guests.

  • 6. Restaurant de la Mer

    $ | La Batterie

    Clean and reasonably priced, this restaurant has fantastic terrace views of the big three: Nosy Tanikely Bay, Russes Bay, and d'Andavokotoko Bay. Malagasy dishes are available along with some traditional French and Italian offerings, including pasta and pizzas. Don’t miss the grilled shrimp skewers. Lobster and coconut-sauced seafood with rice are other options. It's also worth considering the terrace for a quick snack.

  • 7. Restaurant Français

    $$$

    Many a romance has been kindled here, under the shade of umbrellas at tables by the pool and tropical plants swaying in the breeze. Candlelit evenings create an even more dreamy setting. The kitchen is grounded in French technique, which is applied most notably to seafood. Tender little slipper lobsters in vanilla sauce and fresh oysters soften the heart. Perhaps most decadent is foie gras on gingerbread with caramelized pear and onion jam. At the end of the night, it may be the chef who receives the most proposals.

  • 8. Restaurant la Bernique

    $

    This super-casual eatery may look like a dive, but it can’t be judged by outward appearances. The lawn seating is actually charming, and once food arrives everything becomes more agreeable. The menu leans toward French bistro, with lamb chops alongside green beans, and tripe stew is made with calvados, as would be done in northern France. Grilled lobster and pan-seared tuna have a more local feel. Oysters are flown in weekly from Fort Dauphin.

    Bd. Gallieni, Tulear, Atsimo-Andrefana, Madagascar
    261-03474–86101
  • 9. Ristorante Esterel

    $

    With so many Italians—notoriously fussy about their food—visiting Madagascar, restaurant owners here strive to please with good pizza and pasta. The garden setting of this restaurant pleases them as much as the menu, which features hand-rolled cannelloni, penne arrabiata, tagliatelle Bolognese, steaks, pizzas, and an assortment of antipasti—all of which may be paired with a number of good wines.
