Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Nosy Be

Most disappointing experience of six weeks in Madagascar. Shortly before leaving we thought it would be a good idea to invite the family to a quality restaurant with great cuisine. Wish I had read the reviews beforehand, because from the first impression Karibo Restaurant looked like a really nice cosy place worth the extra money. 1. The napkins were all dirty, disgusting to wipe your lips with them (see photo) 2. After being seated, it took the service half an hour to bring slowly the first drinks 3. Food was finally served after over one hour 4. Service didn’t care about our table, we had to call them to order more drinks, glasses have been empty for quite a while 5. Zebu filet looked delicious, but it was a steak and not a tender filet (see photo) 6. The duck liver was medium rare served, disgusting and not eatable at all (see photo) 7. Service just shrugged it off, they didn’t care at all 8. Fore one side dish, we had to ask three times before it was finally served after additional 30 min 9. Nothing for digestion was offered, even though we spent over 400.000 MGA at this place 10. Finally, we still have digestive problems 2 days later There are so many better places, with lovely forward looking service and a fair price value. Of all the restaurants we visited in the last 6 weeks, this one the group agreed, was the worst experience and waste of time and money. Dear Karibo team, place take this feedback as an opportunity to learn, reduce your prices and improve quality and service, until they are justified. Until then, we can’t give you more than 2 stars.

The food was not enough. And very simply- prepared for this price. Quite expensive place with a lot of stuff. Clean.

Both meat dishes and fish dishes are good, it's a little more expensive than other restaurants in Ambatoloaka but nothing crazy. They accept Visa, which is a big plus for me

Wonderful dinner on Nosy Be. We had zebu, prawns and fish - Italian fused with Malagasy. Lekker evening out.

Pricing is the highest in the area, but the portions are small. Also the duck breast had so much fat on it, there was not much real meat. It was early in the day, so 3 employees were standing around, watched me eating. Hm! I think Baobab Cafe at the other end of Ambatoloaka is doing the grande cuisine much better.

Great place for dinner! Would recommend getting their delicious mojito and ordering the fish but also treating yourself to a shot (or two) of their ginger rum

Great food and service .

superb location, very aptly named! the service is outstanding with English spoken by the wonderful waitress Landi, the Malagasy local food is delicious and beautifully presented, would definitely recommend

Excellent restaurant surrounded by beautiful nature and views of Mont Passot. I have to praise the English-speaking waitresses for their professionalism — we had a three-course menu, everything was served without delay and the food was delicious! Thank you, my sister and I highly recommend a visit!

Beautiful view. Good food. Perfect stop. A must do

Fantastic restaurant. Some of the best food on Nosy Be and excellent value for money. The owner went out of his way to offer my vegetarian friend a comprehensive menu with multiple enticing options. Highly recommend!

Great experience, good food (they also have vegetarian options), and wonderful view!!

wonderful place ! the food in the restaurant is excellent and the view is breathtaking. I highly recommend !

It lives up to the name "the view"..just breathe taking...wow

We had the pleasure to eat here early July 2025, thankfully the place was empty and we had the restaurant to ourselves. Staff were always attentive, happy to help and were also very open to organise a last minute birthday request. We ate for lunch and dinner, food was fresh and filling. Highly suggested place ! I do believe they were running a deal where by you ate lunch and you could reserve a chair and umbrella on the beach free of charge...

We visited Cacao Beach, Chez Loulou in Andilana Beach based on a recommendation from Lonely Planet, and it did not disappoint. Situated right on the beach with your feet in the sand, the setting is absolutely idyllic—perfect for a relaxing day by the ocean. The food was excellent, with everything we tried being cooked to perfection. The grilled duck, lobster, and zebu were all flavorful and beautifully prepared. The service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and laid-back, matching the beachy vibe of the place. A standout feature is that the restaurant offers sunbeds if you eat there, so we took full advantage. After our meal, we spent the rest of the day lounging, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. They also offer massages, which added an extra layer of relaxation to the experience. The prices were very reasonable, especially given the quality of the food and the additional amenities. The beach itself is lovely, with soft sand and clear waters, making it a fantastic spot for a full day of indulgence. If you’re in Andilana Beach, Chez Loulou is a must-visit. Between the delicious food, great service, and unbeatable beachfront location, it’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the best of Nosy Be.

Tuesday, 14 May 2024 at 12:50 Came here for lunch. Ordered the grilled fish for 2. Excellent ! And tasty ! Wonderful place by the beach. !

Beautiful place but it's the only positive thing about this place. I got food poisoning. My fish was not fresh and my boyfriend's chicken was uncooked. When we made a claim, the waitress didn't seem to care and his manager even cared less.. AVOID EATING THERE, a drink might be ok but it's not worth getting sick over the view. It was my worst experience in 2 months in Madagascar.

Very high quality fish, fresh fish every day, comparing with European prices it is unbeatable. (Lobster, grilled whole fish with side dishes, wine and rum around €30) Very popular for lunch due to the chaotic nearby resort, but really worth it for dinner. Wonderful location, all made entirely by hand with leaves and wooden structures. Better service than at home :-).

BAR on the BEACH ! Say no more ! AUTHENTIC spirits, long island ice tea a must [ be careful after 3 ]. Beautiful sunsets. Sea so warm, like a bath. NO strong currents , No sea urchins, No sharks. Beautiful girls behind bar, Pleasant with manners. LIVE music Sunday with buffet. Antimalarial prophylaxis not needed. Ask for Patrice , cool proprietor.

Came here as we were used to Loulou. It’s still as good and I would even say better, as the new owner added more tables and lounge chairs. The kids can play in the sand while the adults are eating and taking a chill pill. Food was excellent as usual. Our new favorite place in NB

Amazing lobster at a very good price and friendly staff. Nice place for people watching and to catch the sunset from the balcony. We waited one hour for our three lobsters but of you're not in a hurry it was all well worth the wait. 🦐👌🏻

Decent food, nice staff, good WiFi.

We enjoyed our meal. Nice variety to choose from. The kids opted for hot chips and soft drink. Then later had ice cream for desert. Adults had fish with rice and salad , some spagetti bolognaise. The place is nice with clean restrooms. Staff can’t speak English but have good customers service. Nice place to eat at with kids. We sit upstairs with nice view.

Very Nice restaurant compared to Nosy be standard.

This is a great place with really good food and priced below a comparable restaurant. The staff is friendly and over 10 years tue food quality has been good and that is rare here

The food is great, but some items are slightly overpriced compared to the surrounding restaurants. Like a shandy beer costs 8k, anywhere else 5-6k max. But hey, you have to stand out? Good views to the passing people, it's mainly see and to be seen.

Good burgers : the portion was spot on. I just would have added some pickles and real burger sauce (instead of just ketchup mayo). Friendly staff in the heart of Ambatolaoka.

Cozy spot with good food. The staff was very nice. Would come back for sure.

Ravioli was delicious. Staff were friendly.

One of the better restaurants in this area. Calamari friti with mashed potatoes is awesome! So is the calzone. Ravioli tastes great but portion is small.

Cozy but little bit expensive

Very good food, and a wonderful atmosphere.

(Translated by Google) Good restaurant located right across from Taxi Be. The selection is varied, with a good selection of pizzas and pastas. (Original) Bon restaurant situé juste en face du Taxi Be. Le choix est varié avec pas mal de pizza ou pâtes.

(Translated by Google) Very good food. Friendly staff, as everywhere in Nosy Be. The only problem: on Sunday evenings, the kitchen doesn't keep up, and the wait is very, even very, very long... but the food is always good. (Original) Très bonne cuisine. Personnel agréable comme partout à Nosy-be. Seul problème : le dimanche soir la cuisine n'assume pas et l'attente est très, voir Très très longue....mais toujours de bons plats.

How do I put this 🤔 Well having an issue with me plumbing , eating too much street food . Ate here for 4 days straight and presto all good. Owner is French and well you know how they go on about their food, well he backs it up . Brilliant coffee ☕️ fresh cut fries and freshly caught seafood everyday. He runs a tight ship and it shows. View of life on the beach here is like stepping into a movie, Africa at its best .

Cute and relaxing place with a nice view! Great for a snack and a cocktail! Loved the mochito 😊 slow service but it’s a local thing...! If you sit outside during the day get prepared to put up with some flies!

Delicious food, with peculiar flavor not just the typical fish & rice. Great atmosphere, friendly service and most importantly, amazing drinks!! Had the best rhum arrangé that I had to buy the bottle! Highly recommend it.

We got a little drink sample, which was a very nice gesture, and the waitress was friendly and competent

Perfect location, very friendly staff and the food was okay.

Good food, good service, good cocktails, good view, good ambience. and very good price. we were in the area for 2.5 days and had all our meals there. no fuss!

great location, tasty food and drinks & cheap price

Great four cheese gnocchi and helpful owner. Good Italian food when they have it…. Sadly no ever available:(

I took only juice here to be honest. Stuff were kind and English speaking

I eat everyday in another restaurant and when I discovered this italic place I really love it The food is great and the waiter speak English! The only downside is little expensive but worth the price:)

We had seafood pasta, fried seafood mix, fish tartar and octopus salad. Service was efficient and friendly. I'm a happy camper!

(Translated by Google) Very good restaurant and very friendly waitress. One small drawback: the chocolate mousse is very compact. Otherwise, everything is very good. (Original) Très bon restaurant et serveuse très sympathique. Petit bémol : la mousse au chocolat qui est très compacte. Sinon tout est très bien

(Translated by Google) Pleasantly surprised. It has become our canteen 3 times a week. Lucas welcomes us warmly. His dishes are super good. He even made us taste his stew. Don't hesitate. (Original) Agréablement surpris. C est devenue notre cantine 3 fois par semaine. Lucas nous accueille chaleureusement. Ses plats sont super bons . Il nous a même fait goûter son ragoût. N hésitez pas.

(Translated by Google) We've dined at this restaurant several evenings and have always been very satisfied. The dishes, prepared with top-quality ingredients, were very tasty and the portions generous. The atmosphere was quiet and the staff very friendly. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended! (Original) Abbiamo cenato diverse sere in questo ristorante e siamo rimasti sempre molto soddisfatti. I piatti, preparati con prodotti di prima qualità, erano molto gustosi e le porzioni abbondanti. L'ambiente era tranquillo e il personale molto gentile. Ottimo il rapporto qualità-prezzo. Raccomandatissimo!

Food was very nice, but need to wait too much. Very nice beer 😋

The view is beautiful. The choice of food is excellent. It tasted good. We waited 1 hour for our food. The service is more lax.

Great VIEWS. Lovely colours at sunset.

Incredible fresh fish dishes! Some of the best food I’ve had in Madagascar

Waitresses keep forgetting the orders! Otherwise it's a nice place to hang out for a drink with friends.

Average food with terrible service.

(Translated by Google) We ate well, just some construction work as we passed!! Beautiful view, good price 22€ for 3 people with beer and water, the meat tender and delicious! (Original) On a bien mangé, juste des travaux à notre passage !! Belle vue , tarif bien 22€ pour 3 personnes avec bière et eau , la viande tendre et délicieuse !

Foods are good. Friendly staff free wifi also available. Very good atmosphere I really enjoyed.

The bakery and Ice cream are great. Otherwise it is rather mediocre. Mora Mora service, flashy vibes, no local dishes, kitchen food is not that great. If you are there just get the bakery stuff and go.

Sweets, bread, juices and all breakfast related food is really good, I can totally recommend Fondant Choco, can't say the same for lunch. Service is good albeit a bit slow, and staff is very kind. The place is very comfy and relaxing. Avoid "pizza" at all costs, it's nearly disgusting, especially for the "cheese" on top, it is sour and the dough is definitely not pizza. If you want a good pizza the only place to go in Hellville is The Sicilians, not far away from Casa mofo.

What a wonderful for early morning breakfast on Nosy Be. Nice to watch the world go by and the food is great.

So glad I waited an hour and a half for these

Good coffee, nice food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. The WiFi is good as well.

A nice cafe to relax, great coffee and fresh juices, lots of seating.

The most expensive restaurant in this area. Good food. Quite good service and atmosphere with attention to details. Made with love 💯 . Live music (sometimes) Everything is good except the prices 😃

Great place to eat. The food is excellent, a level above all the rest here. It's easily the finest dining in the whole street. The owner is very kind and we were offered a "rhum arrangé" at the end.

The food was great, very nice atmosphere and live music if you’re lucky!

Great menu, lovely food, super service. Loved the tapas options and great ice cream desserts

REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE / THE OWNER CHANGED AND NOW IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT / BE VERY CAREFUL CONCERNING THE BILL BECAUSE THEY ADD OR CHANGE PRICE AND ITEMS/ IT S REALLY TRAP OF TOURIST

100% go here , food is fab

Nice place and some vegetarian options.

Amazing food and service

The wood oven pizza was delicious!

Highly recommended

(Translated by Google) Excellent Italian cuisine, the best in Abatoloka!!! Friendly and kind staff, the manager Toto is a very nice person. They also make excellent pizza. I recommend ordering the seafood tagliatelle or the ravioli..... you won't regret it. The prices are also cheap considering the quality!!! (Original) Ottima cucina italiana, la migliore ad Abatoloka!!! Personale cordiale e gentile, il gestore Toto è una persona simpaticissima. Fanno anche un' ottima pizza. Consiglio di ordinare le tagliatelle ai frutti di mare oppure i ravioli.....non ve ne pentirete. Anche i prezzi sono economici considerando la qualità!!!

(Translated by Google) Great food and friendly staff! The menu includes a lot of pasta but also local daily specials. Definitely a recommendation! (Original) Super Essen und freundliches Personal! Karte beinhaltet viel Pasta aber auch lokale Tagesgerichte. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung!

(Translated by Google) We went there for the reopening and we were not disappointed. The decoration is pretty and cozy, the servers pleasant and competent. We had 3 aperitifs then we tried three different starters: Eggplant with Parmesan, smoked swordfish and taglière (assortments of cheeses, cold meats...) everything was excellent. We also had 3 different pasta dishes accompanied by a bottle of red wine and we enjoyed ourselves. For dessert, an excellent tiramisu followed by an old Nosy Be rum accompanied by dark chocolate, all for €22 per person. We will definitely come back. (Original) Nous y sommes allé pour la réouverture et nous n´avons pas été déçu. La décoration est jolie et cosy, les serveurs agréables et compétents. Nous avons prit 3 apéritifs puis nous avons testé trois entrées différentes : Aubergine au Parmesan, espadon fumé et taglière (assortiments de fromages, charcuteries...) tout y était excellent. Nous avons également prit 3 plats différents de pâtes accompagné d´une bouteille de vin rouge et nous nous sommes régalés. En dessert un tiramisu excellent suivi d´un rhum vieux de Nosy Be accompagné de chocolat noir, le tout pour 22€ par personnes. Nous reviendrons à coup sûr.

(Translated by Google) 22, why 22? Therein lies the mystery. Some say it's because of the popular expression... We don't know, we won't assume. (Original) 22, pourquoi 22? C’est là que réside le mystère. Certains disent que c’est à cause de l’expression populaire… Nous ne savons pas, nous ne présumerons pas.

I ordered a small pizza and it looked like it was not the proper dough at all, no hydration, no elasticity, no side crust as on photo reviews. Tasted just like a good cheese tart but not a pizza. Unfortunately I haven't taken a photo.

Authentic Sicilian kitchen, amazing thin pizzas with a crispy crust and homemade pasta! My favourite restaurant in Hellville and one of the best Italian food I’ve ever tried :) also the staff is friendly and the ice cream is amazing

Beautiful pizza, amazing staff! Definitely stop here if your in nosy be!! 🤍

This Restaurant is absolutely amazing 👌🏽😍🤤😋 grazie mille 😎🥰

Food was excellent. Staff was amazing, very nice and helpful, coming to check if everything is alright during the diner, helping with the suggestions etc… Which is really rare in Madagascar. Prices are really correct for the food quality.

One of the best pizzas I've ever had!

This is one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. And I have already been to the famous pizzerias in Naples and Rome. I liked this pizza much more than them.

Probably the best food during 1 month in Madagascar ! Stopped in for lunch, had a bunch of small plates.. ceviche, smoked fish carpaccio, and fried shrimp 🍤 ALL delicious, the fish was fresh, the fried shrimp just the right kind of crispy. The team was friendly too. Have a feeling I’ll be back for a couple more lunches :)

Great value for money!!! The food was nothing but amazing! We had tagliatelle and duck breast. Both were suuuperb 🤩👍🏻. Make sure to stop by this restaurant, you won’t regret it. (Well, it‘s not the most quiet place tbh, but it’s in the heart of town) One more thing: We just went for the tiramisu, too. Not a traditional one I would say, but a desert others might kill for!

One of the new additions this year in Ambatoloaka. Their food is delicious, well-priced and it's a good service in a cozy family atmosphere. My favorite is their home-made crispy Cordon Bleu, simply mouth-watering! Don't get disturbed by the street vendors trying to sell you stuff, hey it's Mada!

Been there a few times and was very satisfied. However, last time during lunch I ordered the chicken cordon bleu which was RAW inside and I mean raw. This is such a disappointment and unhealthy the same time.

Super tasty, very good and attentive waiters. Highly recommend the ceviche, pricelesssss And also the slow cooked zebu. I'd definitely come back and reccomend my friends.

Perfect and delicious 😍

Amazing food and good service.

Good quality food for madagascar. Above normal price for country but to be expected as great beachfront view. Nice staff. No vegetarian options

They offer great vegan food. Falafel, Humous, and vegan pizza (without the cheese) and most importantly awareness and readiness to adapt - best experience!

Very good food, friendly staff and english speaking. Great

The best ceviche I've ever had - highly recommend! Was delicious!

very very good food, prices are very good and the stuff is really friendly. the restaurant itself is very cozy with good music

The best ceviche we’ve eaten in Nosy Be, very good service, highly recommended.

They said they don’t have any vegetarian options.

This review is for the coworking space. 10,000 Ariary ($2.25 USD) per hour is quit expensive for someone that needs to use the space for 8 hours per day, 5 days per week. I have used coworking spaces in many countries, and this is among the most expensive. I did not use the space, but stopped in to see what it was like. 4G on the island is not reliable enough for digital nomading (and hotspotting is blocked on Orange), and my hotel's WiFi worked only about 25% of the time, at speeds similar to dialup. The coworking spot closes at 2200. This makes it useless for Americans that are working North American hours. Overall, my opinion of Nosy Be as a whole is not great. Prices are much higher than expected and service is much slower than in the other 10 countries I have digital nomaded from over the last 18 months. Dual pricing for locals and tourists with the tuk tuks is a huge disappointment.

(Translated by Google) Breakfast break at the Villa, restaurant in Hell Ville. South American atmosphere, tacos and co, but more traditional menu such as steak, fish, salads… Etc. Very helpful staff and well presented and delicious dishes! I recommend! (Original) Petit break déjeuner a la Villa, restaurant sur Hell Ville. Atmosphère sud américaine, tacos and co, mais carte plus traditionnelle type steak, poissons, salades … Etc Personnel très serviable et plats bien présentés et bons ! Je recommande !

(Translated by Google) Chill restaurant well located in the city, cocooning and well-ambienced and warm but there is one but... I arrived at 7 p.m. and everything I asked for on the menu was not there. Then 20 minutes after my order was sent the waitress came back to tell me that the dish was not available, I found myself eating something that I didn't really want... however it was well seasoned. For dessert we ordered milkshakes and honestly it was just water and milk and sugar. It had no taste. Honestly worth seeing again… nevertheless the cocktails were quite good. Personally I won't go back there. (Original) Restaurant chill bien placé dans la ville, cocooning et bien ambiancé et chaleureux mais il y a un mais … je suis arrivé à 19h et tout ce que je demandais dans la carte il n’y en avait pas. Ensuite 20 min après que ma commande soit envoyé la serveuse revient me voir pour me dire que le plat n’est pas disponible, je me suis retrouvé a mangé quelque chose dont j’avais pas très envie … néanmoins c’était bien assaisonné. Pour le dessert on a commandé des milkshake et franchement c’était juste de L’eau et du lait et du sucre. Ça n’avait pas de goût. Franchement à revoir… néanmoins les cocktails étaient assez bons. Perso je n’y retournerai pas.

(Translated by Google) Photos speak better than reviews. Everything is good, excellent atmosphere and service. The space is friendly and makes you want to eat in small groups or even alone. Thanks to them. (Original) Les photos parlent mieux que les avis. Tout est bon, excellente ambiance et service. L’espace est convivial et donne envie de restaurer en petit nombre ou même en solo. Merci à eux.

(Translated by Google) Very good. For the service, there were 4 of us in the restaurant and it took us an hour to get our dishes. It's a bit long... Otherwise, very good (Original) Très bon. Pour le service, nous étions 4 dans le restaurant et il nous a fallu une heure pour avoir nos plats. Ça fait un peu long… Sinon, très bien

(Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant a little lost in Hell-ville. Small menu but well prepared food. The veal liver is excellent. Good choice of drinks. Cozy interior. Fast and kind service. (Original) Excellent restaurant un peu perdu à Hell-ville. Petite carte mais mets bien préparés. Le foie de veau est excellent. Bon choix de boissons. Intérieur cosy. Service rapide et gentil.

(Translated by Google) The food is ok, the wait for the food is long, you have to take the time to come. The normal price for two people is 90000ar. (Original) อาหารใช้ได้ รออาหารนาน ต้องเพื่อเวลามา ราคาปกติสองคนหมดไป90000ar

Came here by chance on our little road trip along the west coast of Nosy Be. This place was NOT easy to find - make sure you trust goodle and turn off the main road when told (follow the signs to the diving centre). After we found this little gem which is directly located by the beach, we enjoyed a nice coffe and omlette which were great. In fact we came back in the evening, thanks to the amazing location and service of the staff - they went out of their way to help us book a last minute whale watching tour. They even fired up that wood fire pizza oven a bit earlier so we could enjoy one of their freshly made pizzas. Lastly... look at those sunset pictures. Highly recommended!

The actual worst food and dining experience I’ve had in my entire month in Madagascar!!!! I saw the reviews and because it is my last night in Nosy be I decided to treat myself to a big dinner, HUGE MISTAKE. There were several tables that placed orders after me and were served before me. The salad tasted like it had a little bit of fart in it and the gratine tasted like it had a little bit of vomit in it (I’m not even trying to be dramatic or hyperbolize what it tasted like). On top of all of that the water costs the same as a mojito. It was despicable and I honestly wish I walked out without paying when they came and handed me the check which totaled out to be over $40 US dollars, I’ve eaten at restaurants that had 10x better service and 10x better food quality and I was able to eat more food for half that price. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!!!

There are much better places nearby. The food was bland, salad was gross, VERY expensive for Madagascar, very slow service. The water cost 10,000 for a small one which is 5x what it costs down the road.

Overpriced chi chi place. They neither have cafe au lait or fresh baguette/croissant for breakfeast nor cappuccino in the afternoon - but overpriced wines.

Very relaxed place ! enjoy their weekly sunday lunch buffet ....excellent value...live music they even have oysters ... good service... better reserve a table beforehand !

One of the negative comments above surprises me. I'm a regular and it's a nice place in Nosy Be. The team is very welcoming and the food is very good. I strongly recommend this place.

Terrible restaurant experience. The French manager is getting drunk on the beach while we waited more than 1 hour for our dinner. Our kids were in tears.

A family-run small restaurant with the most delicious food I had during our 2 week stay on Nosy Be. Generous portions, reasonably priced (16 € for 3-course menu with lobsters), friendly staff and the little tree house is charming as well. If you want to eat lobsters don’t forget to preorder one day in advance.

Best fresh fish that we had in Nosy Be! The owner/cook worked for several years in Nosy Be's high class hotels before he decided to open his own Restaurant. Despite the basic and authentic look of the typical wooden restaurant, you will find high class playful food with fresh ingredients and amazing spices and tastes for double the quality and not even half the price of fancy Nosy Be restaurants. We ate here every evening.

Owner and management 100% Malagasy. Best local cuisine, perfect service, simple and essential environment. This Gorgotte is perfect. perfect service, simple and essential environment.

Skip your stuffy hotel resturant and have excellent high quality food in a cute local resturant. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

I had the pleasure of "lunching" at Chez Gregoire in Nosy Be and it was a delightful experience. This unexpected gargotte restaurant on the road offers super service and high-quality food. While the menu has fewer options, every dish is of excellent quality and has a homemade feel. The value for money is very good. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great meal in Nosy Be!

This place is incredible!! We decided to try it on our last night staying at Grand Bleu nearby and really regretted not going earlier. So much so that we went back for lunch the next day before leaving Nosy Be :) Food is phenomenal and freshly cooked. No stomach problems among any of our four-person group after eating langoustine, fish skewers, etc. You can see them cooking on a coal barbecue outside. Gregory and his daughters are super friendly. Really cosy, "authentic" atmosphere with some quirky decorations and excellent locally made rum. Highly, highly recommend if you're in the area! Quite small, just four tables for around 15 people.

Had two really tasty dinners here. Food is fresh, well flavored and very friendly staff. It's a family owned business. Definitely recommend.

Nice taste, but the price! 2$ per each small shrimp?! I paid 13$ (55,000ar for 5 small shrimps)

The best restaurant in Nosy Be! The lobster was the star of the show! Love it! We went here 3 nights in a row!

Nice

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cuisine de Marna – A Burst of Flavour and Energy With some time to spare before checking into my accommodation, I stumbled upon this charming and vibrant spot — Cuisine de Marna. From the warm welcome to the attentive service, everything was spot-on. The food was exceptional, and it’s easy to see why the restaurant is always buzzing. The calamari was outstanding, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. A broad and varied menu makes it an easy choice for everyone. Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) A very nice eatery/restaurant, attentive service, and generous dishes. However, I don't know if it was the ice cubes or the stuffed calamari, but I had severe food poisoning when I left the restaurant :( Check the hours on Google: opens around 6 p.m. (Original) Une très jolie gargotte/restaurant, un service attentionné et des plats généreux. Cependant, je ne sais pas si c’étaient les glaçons ou les calamars farcis mais j’ai eu une grosse intoxication en sortant du resto :( Des horaires sur Google à revoir : ouvre vers 18h le soir

1 hour of waiting for a 2 meals. Spaghetti without spaghetti. Mostly the sauce. Size of the meal for teenager girl. My advice for the owners is, if you got a problem in the kitchen, tell to the clients that need to wait 1 hour or more, so they will have a choice to go somewhere else to eat.

(Translated by Google) Incredibly delicious fish fillet with coconut sauce, served with a tomato and onion salad as a starter. Served with freshly squeezed mango juice. (Original) Unglaublich leckeres Fischfilet an Kokossauce, als Vorspeise Tomaten-Zwiebelsalat. Dazu frisch gepresster Mangosaft.

A casa di Giorgia is a beautiful and cozy accommodation in Andilana beach in Nosy be. It's very near of the beach, we were in the family bungalow and it was very comfortable. Jacopo the owner, is the best host you can have and the staff is very gentle and helpful. The food is amazing and you can enjoy fresh fish everyday. We definitely recommend this place, you feel like home in casa di Giorgia and we will come back for sure every time me visit Nosy be. In a world plenty of big resorts with no personality it's marvelous to find an accommodation like a casa di Giorgia, the kind of place you always remember.

Amazing place!! Excellent location, beautiful rooms and great food and Wi-Fi. We booked for 3 nights and immediately extended our stay as we liked it so much. Everyone working here was so friendly and welcoming. We really felt like we were staying with friends rather than at a hotel due to their warm hospitality and good atmosphere of the place. Thank you in particular Jacopo, Delphine and Angelo for making our first stay in Madagascar so memorable. One day we would love to return

Comfortable rooms and good food in a lovely atmosphere. But what makes Casa di Giorgia exceptional is the hospitality of its owner and manager whom go out of their way to make your stay on Nosi Be as good as possible.

An amazing affordable place to stay on Nosy Be with plenty of character. Great food, friendly staff and a manager that really goes the extra mile with every single guest. A must for those that want the personal warm touch of feeling like you are apart of the family!

Top in tutto ! location ! services ! food !

(Translated by Google) I stayed five nights with my wife, Marilena. Upon our arrival, we received a warm welcome from the manager, Valery, who quickly proved to be a delightful person. There's a small boutique and spa on site, offering the opportunity to relax with a massage after excursions. The highlight is undoubtedly the family atmosphere that permeates the property from the moment you arrive, and the opportunity to exchange opinions and travel tips with other guests. The food was excellent: high-quality, well-cooked, and presented by the ever-smiling Seralee and Thor. Jacopo, the host, is a friendly and helpful person, and he never failed to offer a local rum during pleasant evening conversations. One small regret is not having taken advantage of a fishing excursion with Jacopo...who knows, maybe in the future!!! Thanks to all the staff at "A casa di Giorgia" for welcoming and pampering us!! (Original) Ho soggiornato 5 notti con mia moglie Marilena , al nostro arrivo abbiamo ricevuto una calda accoglienza dalla responsabile Valery, si è presto rivelata persona piacevolissima. E presente in loco una piccola boutique e spa che offre la possibilità di rilassarsi con un massaggio dopo escursi. Il punto forte è senza dubbio l'ambiente familiare che si respira dal primo momento, la possibilità di scambiare opinioni e consigli di viaggio con gli altri ospiti. Ottimo il cibo, di qualità, ben cucinato e presentato dalla sempre sorridente Seralee e Thor . Jacopo, padrone di casa, è una persona alla mano e disponibile, non ha mai fatto mancare un rum locale nelle piacevoli conversazioni serali. Un piccolo rimpianto non aver approfittato di un escursione di pesca con Jacopo...chissà in futuro !!!. Un ringraziamento a tutto lo staff di " A casa di Giorgia" per averci accolto e coccolati !!

(Translated by Google) Back a few days ago, what can I say... welcoming structure, few rooms and this allows you to socialize with other guests, excellent meals, clean, very close on foot, 3 minutes from the most beautiful beach, Andilana.. Valeria very helpful, very nice, patient and above all present for every need, the owner Jacopo is an excellent host, very nice and always ready to have a chat with the guests, we felt at home so much that we had left the structure after 5 days to go to an island, and we returned for the last day and night there losing the other accommodation already paid for 🙈😅 we missed them too much. I highly recommend it, you will not regret it.!! (Original) Tornati da pochi giorni,che dire .. struttura accogliente,poche camere e questo ti permette di socializzare con gli altri ospiti,ottimi i pasti ,pulito , vicinissimo a piedi ,3 minuti dalla spiaggia più bella l Andilana.. Valeria molto disponibile,simpaticissima ,paziente e soprattutto presente per ogni esigenza,il proprietario Jacopo è un ottimo padrone di casa , simpaticissimo e sempre pronto a fare due chiacchiere con gli ospiti,ci siamo sentiti a casa tanto che avevamo lasciato dopo 5 giorni la struttura x andare su un isola,e siamo tornati per l ultimo giorno e notte lì perdendo l atro alloggio già pagato 🙈😅ci mancavano troppo .Ve lo consiglio vivamente non vi pentirete .!!

It's ok to sit and watch life go by in the village.

Very roomy bar and restaurant. They have a pool table here. I’d recommend it for a place to drink and watch life go by with less hassle from street vendors and others. The pizza I ordered was not terrible but it should have had more cheese on it and it took a long time to get. The manager was nice and he apologized and gave me a shot of rum 🙂

(Translated by Google) Came in by chance for a snack and a drink, welcoming place, varied menu. I had tapas, shrimp, squid and skewers, the quality was beyond my expectations, real fresh, real homemade, in good quantities, it was great! I don't understand some of the previous negative reviews... (Original) Entré par hasard pour grignoter et boire un verre, lieu accueillant, carte variée. J'ai pris des tapas, crevettes, calamar et brochettes, la qualité était au-delà de mes attentes, du vrai frais, du vrai fait maison, en belles quantités, c'était top ! Je ne comprend pas certains avis négatifs précédents...

(Translated by Google) Small island of happiness in Ambatoloaka where it is always pleasant to come and eat and spend wonderful evenings in the company of Michel, so endearing and atypical in this village. Lovingly advised (Original) Petit îlot de bonheur à Ambatoloaka où il est toujours agréable d'y venir manger et de passer de très belles soirées en compagnie de Michel, si attachant et atypique dans ce village. Amoureusement conseillé

(Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant, I tried the zebu tongue, it was very good. Prices a little high but the setting is pleasant. Very friendly service. (Original) Excellent restaurant j'ai testé la langue de zebu c'était très bon. Prix un peu élevés mais le cadre est agréable. Service très sympathique

(Translated by Google) If the menu was 50% stocked (lack of martini and cinzano for 2 aperitifs, no crab, and therefore 60% of starters unavailable, no papillote possible due to lack of aluminum foil, no squid.... ) and if the portions were not ridiculously small, and finally, excluding the mosquito, we might have been delighted.... But without a doubt there is a nicer place to dine in ambatoooaka.. Too bad (Original) Si la carte était approvisionné à 50% (manque de martini et de cinzano pour 2 ses apéritifs, pas de crabe, et donc 60% des entrées non disponibles, pas de papillote possible par manque de papier aluminium, pas de calamar....) et si les portions n'étaient pas ridiculement faibles, et enfin, hors moustique, nous aurions peut être été enchantés.... Mais sans aucun doute y a-t-il plus agréable à ambatoooaka pour dîner.. Dommage

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, our experience was extremely negative. The day before dinner, we personally went to the restaurant to reserve a table, explicitly requesting the possibility of watching a match on television. We were assured, without hesitation, that this would be possible and that the table would be reserved for us. That same evening, having arrived well in advance, we asked for confirmation and were repeatedly told that the match would be broadcast and that the channel would be changed shortly before kickoff. However, as the match was about to start, we were suddenly informed that it would not be possible to watch it, as another game had been prioritized. When we pointed out this lack of politeness to the owner, not only did we not receive an adequate explanation, but we weren't even listened to attentively, as the owner clearly seemed more interested in the match being broadcast than in showing us any consideration. We consider this behavior unacceptable: a specific service was promised to us, confirmed several times, then refused at the last minute, with no respect for the customer. (Original) Malheureusement, notre expérience a été extrêmement négative. La veille du dîner, nous nous sommes rendus personnellement au restaurant pour réserver une table, en demandant explicitement la possibilité de suivre un match à la télévision. On nous a assuré, sans aucune hésitation, que cela serait possible et que la table serait réservée pour nous. Le soir même, arrivés bien à l’avance, nous avons demandé confirmation et on nous a répété que le match serait diffusé et que la chaîne serait changée peu avant le coup d’envoi. Cependant, au moment du début de la rencontre, on nous a annoncé soudainement qu’il ne serait pas possible de la regarder, car une autre partie avait été privilégiée. Lorsque nous avons fait remarquer au propriétaire ce manque de correction, non seulement nous n’avons reçu aucune explication adéquate, mais nous n’avons même pas été écoutés avec attention, le propriétaire semblant manifestement plus intéressé par le match diffusé que par le fait de nous accorder la moindre considération. Nous considérons qu’un tel comportement est inacceptable : un service précis nous avait été promis, confirmé à plusieurs reprises, puis refusé à la dernière minute, sans aucun respect à l’égard du client.

Dangerous place! There's no working hours nor contact number on Google for this place. My wife and I wanted to check if they are open around at 6-7pm. Just angry barking dogs met us and a child who tried to stop them but owners were just staying in the doors and did not tell a word even did not ask who we are and what we want. In another review and in the description of the place they later typed their working times. Dear owners, please use special field in your place profile to fill the working hours. Nobody reads the description and every comment to find it. Also it's stupid to say that "they're doing their job". They are animals. They don't understand your working hours and when they are allowed and not allowed to attack guests.

Angry dogs wanted to attack us when we approached the restaurant. The owners just stood and did nothing. A very warm welcome

They do not serve food past 2pm.

(Translated by Google) We have just had a great time with Jean-Marc, Irène and their children at the Mijono plantation... Jean-Marc took us around his property, commenting on all the trees, flowers and other plantings,...a real treat!!! Delicious, super fresh lunch (an octopus salad to die for!!) Very nice moment of exchanges.... We were able to purchase top quality ylang ylang and coconut essential oil.... And to complete this environment two bungalows which can accommodate up to 10 people.... To be consumed without moderation!!!! (Original) Nous venons de passer un très chouette moment avec Jean-Marc , Irène et leurs enfants à la plantation Mijono... Jean-Marc nous a faire le tour de sa propriété en nous commentant tous les arbres, fleurs et autres plantations,...un vrai régal !!! Déjeuner délicieux hyper frais (une salade de poulpes à tomber!!) Très beau moment d'échanges.... Nous avons pu acheter de l'huile essentielle d'y langues ylang et de coco top qualité.... Et pour compléter cet environnement deux bungalows pouvant accueillir jusque 10 personnes.... A consommer sans modération !!!!

Cool and deserve a try

(Translated by Google) Jean Marc gave us a very warm welcome to his plantation! We enjoyed a delicious meal, made with fresh produce and prepared with love. We had a great time together and learned a lot about his farm :)) I highly recommend this restaurant!! (Original) Jean Marc nous a accueilli très chaleureusement au sein de sa plantation ! Nous nous sommes régalés autour d'un bon repas, composé de produits frais et préparé avec amour. Nous avons passé un agréable moment tous ensemble, et avons appris plein de choses au sujet de son exploitation :)) Je recommande ce restaurant vivement !!

(Translated by Google) We were welcomed with open arms by Jean Marc, his wife Irène, and their children. We discovered a beautiful ylang-ylang farm and a biodiversity of trees I hadn't seen before. When Jean Marc talks about it, his eyes sparkle. A superb local meal, sailfish with rice and a vegetable (I didn't remember the name, it looked like spinach), and for dessert, a caramel fruit salad—pure delight. We participated in a clothing distribution for the villagers. It was a great experience for us; all the emotions were mixed and inexplicable. A community school will open in September; it's a wonderful project. Congratulations, Jean Marc and Irène. Thank you for your welcome. Laurent, Valentin, Enola, and Isabelle (Original) Nous avons été accueillis à bras ouverts par Jean Marc, sa femme Irène et leurs enfants. Nous y avons découvert une très belle exploitation d'ylang-ylang ainsi qu'une biodiversité d'arbres que je ne connaissais pas. Quand Jean Marc en parle, il a les yeux qui pétillent. Super repas local, de espadon voilier accompagné de riz et d'un légume (je n'ai pas retenu le nom, ça ressemble à des épinards) comme dessert une salade de fruits au caramel, un pur délice. Nous avons participé à une distribution de vêtements pour les gens du village. Grande expérience pour nous, toutes les émotions sont mélangées et ne peuvent être expliquées. Une école communautaire va ouvrir ses portes en septembre, c'est un très beau projet. Bravo Jean Marc et Irène. Merci pour votre accueil. Laurent, Valentin, Enola et Isabelle

On the beach. Open all day. Food was excelent, especially Liver on toust , fish tartare and zebu tongue(juicy and delicious. ). Live Music on sunday (or it was another dax? 😎) But there are some minuses. First. Cash only. Sevond. We ordered caipirinha. they charged us 10000 more because of rhum…hm, caipirinha without rhum is a lemon and ice and sugar. For 160000? 😕

It is located right on the beach.We went around 9 pm,and it wasn't really busy. The food,chicken filled with cheese, was delicious.We also ordered Pina Coladas. The restaurant is reasonably priced,considering the beachfront location.

Great place,great stuff,located on the beach.

Good food but improper handling of dogs at the beach. Employee stabbed dog under customer table several times making it cry and putting customers in more difficult situation than when it was just peacefully sitting. Subsequently went on to whip the dog to get it out of the place. I know culture can be different but I believe there are better ways to deal with situations like this, mostly when you have many tables with people all over the world at the restaurant. Won’t be back!

Great oven thin pizza, good pasta, and great sunset view. Located at the beach, walking distance from the Palm Beach Resort.

We enjoyed this place. Great service and yummy food and drinks. Seems to be one of the best on the island.

Nice food but small portions. Rude young staff.

After searching for a nice restaurant on Nosy Be, we discovered La Corniche and decided to hike up from the beach to check it out. What a gem! The restaurant felt like an oasis, offering a delicious menu and stunning views over the surrounding area. The food was excellent. The chicken was cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and the duck dish was equally impressive. It’s rare to find such high-quality meals in these spots, so we made the most of it and savored every bite. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The fact that they accept credit cards was a huge bonus and made the experience even more convenient. With reasonable prices for the quality of food, this place offers great value for money. If you’re in Nosy Be, La Corniche is a must-visit. Between the great views, delicious food, and seamless service, it’s worth the hike—you won’t regret it!

If I could give a 0 star review I would. From the service to the food to everything, it was a Horrible experience!!! After an hour of ordering they are telling my husband that they can’t make his small vegetable gratin. And after I complained, a small disgusting looking meal appears. When I asked to speak to the manager at least 5 times, no one came to see what was going on. Until I go to the reception, the owner walked off and turned his back on my husband and was so arrogant shows up. And his wife had an audacity to tell me that we are savage. I told her to not open a restaurant when there is no customer service. From the beginning it was like they were doing us a favor. And in the end they tell me that since we were a big table, it was a different menu, while I made the reservation yesterday and no one told us anything. English speaking customers, you want a good service, DO NOT COME HERE!!! They are very arrogant

Excellent

(Translated by Google) I've now eaten here more than 60 times... and no, I haven't gotten lost; each meal is simply a true invitation to travel! The flavors of the region are always present, and with each visit, I feel like I'm discovering a new facet of the cuisine. The service is exceptional, attentive, and always meticulous. The staff anticipates our needs before we even have time to think about it—a true gift of culinary foresight! In short, if I continue to come back so often, it's not by chance... It's because every meal here is a unique experience that truly deserves 5 stars. (Original) Cela fait maintenant plus de 60 fois que je viens manger ici… et non, je ne me suis pas perdu, c’est simplement que chaque repas est une véritable invitation au voyage ! Les saveurs du pays sont toujours au rendez-vous, et à chaque visite j’ai l’impression de découvrir une nouvelle facette de la cuisine. Le service est exceptionnel, attentionné et toujours soigné. Le personnel anticipe les besoins avant même qu’on ait eu le temps d’y penser, un vrai don de voyance culinaire ! Bref, si je continue à revenir aussi souvent, ce n’est pas par hasard… C’est parce qu’ici, chaque repas est une expérience unique qui mérite largement 5 étoiles.

(Translated by Google) A lovely setting in a well-maintained environment with good, friendly, respectful, and fast service, and delicious food. The caisson of dishes is also perfectly delivered. Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) Cozy restaurant with a beautiful view of the harbor. Good for both lunch and dinner. Extensive breakfast. Very friendly staff. Personally, I would appreciate a wider selection of pasta and vegetables. The quality is very good. (Original) Gezellig restaurant met een prachtig uitzicht over de haven. Goed voor zowel lunch als diner. Uitgebreid ontbijt.Zéér vriendelijk personeel . Voor mij persoonlijk zou er wat meer keuze in pasta en groenten mogen zijn. Kwaliteit is Zéér goed.

(Translated by Google) We went for an aperitif lunch to discover this new place that we didn't know about. The food is good even if for my part I found the quantity served a little low. The service is correct without being great, sometimes there is a long wait after a request for mustard. The desserts and cocktails are good, the menu is complete without being enormous. The prices are high average without exaggeration however. Wi-Fi didn't work, weird. (Original) Nous sommes allés déjeuner l'apéro pour découvrir ce nouveau lieu que nous ne connaissions pas. La cuisine est bonne même si de mon côté j'ai trouvé un peu faible la quantité servie. Le service est correct sans être super, de l'attente importante parfois après une demande de moutarde. Les desserts et les cocktails sont biens, la carte est complète sans être énorme. Les prix sont dans la moyenne haute sans exagération cependant. Le Wi-Fi ne fonctionnait pas, bizarre.

(Translated by Google) I've known this place for 3 years. It's a beautiful place, well-appointed, and well-ventilated. The food is good value for money. The biggest drawback: there are often no cold drinks. (Original) Je connais l'endroit depuis 3 ans. Bel endroit, bien agencé, bien aéré. Cuisine avec un bon rapport qualité prix. Gros défaut : souvent aucunes boissons fraîches.

(Translated by Google) We went there for dessert. Not great. The same goes for the service. We understand the other comments a little better. (Original) On y est allé pour un dessert. Pas terrible. Idem pour le service. On comprend un peu mieux les autres commentaires.

(Translated by Google) Attempted change fraud! Only 6000 were missing after complaint no apology so it was intentional. Service to forget. Food completely overpriced and tasteless. The request for bread took 2 inquiries and 30 minutes no no recommendation. (Original) Betrugsversuch beim Wechselgeld! Es fehlten nur 6000 nach Reklamation keine Entschuldigung also war es Absicht. Service zum vergessen. Essen völlig überteuert und geschmacklos. Die Nachfrage nach Brot bedurfte 2 Nachfragen und 30 min nein keine Empfehlung.

(Translated by Google) Acceptable fish, good pizza, although the toppings were quite poor. Rather slow service and reasonable prices. The dj believes, however, that the louder the music, the better. The aperitif is a nightclub where you can eat. It's unfortunate. (Original) Un poisson acceptable, une bonne pizza, même si la garniture était assez pauvre. Un service plutôt lent et des prix raisonnables. Le dj croit toutefois qu’au plus bruyant qu’est la musique, au mieux c’est. L’apéro est une discothèque où on peut manger. C’est malheureux.

(Translated by Google) Good welcome, nice music and good service. We had pizzas which were good. The dessert was not bad too. Correct price. (Original) Bon acceuil, musique sympa et un bon service. Nous avons prix des pizzas qui étaient bonnes. Le dessert était pas mal aussi. Prix correcte.

(Translated by Google) 2022: Best restaurant in the area, both for enjoying the sun and the food. We are very well received there! I had a great vacation there. 2023: Very disappointed to see how this restaurant has changed...all prices have increased with reduced quantities of food. Several of us came there, very slow and unresponsive service, clean glasses and cutlery were taken away from us during the meal and given back to us 10 minutes later. The cooking of the meats was not respected at all, we were forced to have fries as a side dish even though the menu offered 3 kinds of rice, because the vegetables were missing and we were not asked for our opinion! (Let's not talk about the sad music repeated in a loop in the background) Really super disappointed to see what it has become. I would not recommend after this experience. (Original) 2022:Meilleur restau du coin, tant pour profiter du soleil que de la nourriture. On y est très bien accueilli! J’y ai passé de belles vacances. 2023: Très déçue de voir comme ce restaurant a changé… tous les prix ont augmenté avec des quantités réduites de nourriture. Nous y sommes venus à plusieurs, service très lent et peu réactif, on nous enlève les verres et couverts propres pendant le repas pour nous les remettre 10 minutes plus tard. Les cuissons des viandes n’ont pas été du tout respectées, on nous a imposé des frites comme accompagnement alors que la carte proposait 3 sortes de riz, car les légumes manquaient et on ne nous a pas demandé notre avis! (Ne parlons pas de la musique triste répétée en boucle derrière) Vraiment super déçue de voir ce que c’est devenu. Je ne recommanderais pas après cette expérience.

We where there 3 times. Lunch and dinner. Smalll family eating. Food is simple. Menu is simple. Nothing special, but good. Lobster was overcoocked 😕. Portions are small. Drinks are great. Try some cocktail whit rhum. the rhum is definitly there and you dont drink only ice and soda. If there are no people, the Food come very fast. More people, you will wait a bit. Také it easy - more more 😎 Prices are great. Cash only.

Excellent Romazava. Unfortunately I didn't have change for a tip but definitely worth it. Delicious

Tasty food. Nice owner. Great local prices. Half price of touristy hotel. Previous review of no signs is unfair.. thats quite standard for the country. No vegetarian food

Drive into a spacious parking lot surrounded by lush green gardens. The friendly staff greets you with a smile, ready to serve you with their warm hospitality." 😀

(Translated by Google) The taste is okay, maybe the locals think it’s too expensive? But tourists should think it’s okay (Original) 味道还可以的，当地人应该觉得贵了可能？但是游客应该觉得还好

(Translated by Google) Family run restaurant, clean and delicious. Many Malagasy dishes on the menu (the zebu is of excellent quality), with the possibility of ordering more particular dishes (I recommend the ravitoto and the coconut crab) or fresh fish that the owner buys at the market that morning. Also possible to have breakfast early in the morning when hotels do not offer this service. Great prices, generous portions. Highly recommended. (Original) Ristorante a gestione familiare, pulito e delizioso. Molti piatti malgasci presenti sul menu (di ottima qualità lo zebù), con possibilità di ordinare piatti più particolari (consiglio il ravitoto e il granchio al cocco) o pesce fresco che il proprietario compra al mercato la mattina stessa. Possibilità anche di fare colazione la mattina presto quando gli hotel non offrono questo servizio. Prezzi ottimi, porzioni abbondanti. Consigliatissimo.

Two years it was definitely 5 star. Sergio seems to have lost some of his enthusiasm but the food is good. Location is perfect.

It is an open air bar/restaurant. The food is very good, especially the carbonara, and there was amazing reggae-like live music. On the beach.

+ The chef cooks very well! - The atmosphere focus on known residents. Waitress with no smile serving reluctant. --- But for serving some more sauce, which was only sprinkled over the fish filet, to pay 5000 Ar: ridiculous!

I don't recommend this place for food(probably OK for drinkings). The mosts of food are not in the best condition and I couldn't feel any value of dinning in this place. Also general service was not pleasant. I had to request to clean and make my table ready even after I order my lunch. The staffs were talking each other so loud while I was eating. I couldn't enjoy my food. I would thank this place for my over cooked steak and ruinning my lunch so easy that way.

Brilliant Dinner. Had the Zebu Fillet with Pepper sauce and it was 10/10

(Translated by Google) A very nice little restaurant, on the beach where you can eat very good Breton pancakes! The service is very pleasant.

(Translated by Google) The best lunch I've had on the island so far! Delicious "la marmitte", the grilled fish and potatoes are really fresh and tasty. The waitress' service, however, was not up to par. Even though they were the only customers, the message was more like "I don't want to work, don't ask me anything else". But the maids change often during the day. We absolutely recommend for the food. (Original) Il migliore pranzo che per il momento abbia fatto sull'isola! Deliziosa "la marmitte", davvero fresco e saporito il pesce grigliato e le patate. Servizio della cameriera invece non da manuale. Pur essendo gli unici clienti il messaggio era piuttosto alla "non ho voglia di lavorare, non mi chiedere altro". Ma le cameriere cambiano spesso durante la giornata. Consigliamo assolutamente per il cibo.

(Translated by Google) A pleasant spot with your feet in the sand for a simple lunch. The dishes were delicious and the prices affordable. (Original) Endroit agréable les pieds dans le sable pour un déjeuner en toute simplicité. Les plats étaient délicieux et les tarifs abordables.

I could not have been happier with my stay at Madagascar Resort Ambaro Beach in March 2023. It was my first visit to Nosy Be. The staff at the hotel is just outstanding. The way they make you feel welcome is on par with anything I have experienced traveling the world. All the meals I had were great, and the very local seafood is amazing. The staff will help you with transportation around the island (the best tuk-tuk driver in the world!) and also arranging trips to nearby islands. The bungalows are facing the sea and very close to the beach. They were also cleaned daily. Swimming in the ocean at night when the stars were visible is reason enough for me to come back. Thank you so much and see you soon.

(Translated by Google) This small resort is really perfect if you don't like the confusion of large structures. Consisting of just 3 bungalows overlooking the sea, it is a truly exclusive place. The beach is wide and, very importantly in Nosy Be, it is not affected too much by the changing tides, so you don't have to walk your way to get on the boat when there is low tide. The staff is truly exquisite and available for any need, never being intrusive. Good local cuisine. Furthermore, if you love diving, it is located near the Double Deep diving center, so I would say that there is really nothing missing. I had a really fantastic week. Thanks to all the staff! (Original) Questo piccolo resort è davvero perfetto se non amate la confusione delle grandi strutture. Composto da soli 3 bungalow affacciati sul mare, è un posto davvero esclusivo. La spiaggia è ampia e, cosa molto importante a Nosy Be, non risente troppo del cambiamento delle maree, quindi non bisogna fare strada a piedi per salire in barca quando c'è bassa marea. Il personale è davvero squisito e disponibile per qualsiasi esigneza, mai essere invadente. Buona cucina locale. Inoltre, se amate fare immersioni, si trova vicino al diving center Double Deep, quindi direi che non manca veramente nulla. Ho trascorso una settimana davvero fantastica. Grazie a tutto lo staff!

(Translated by Google) I stayed at Ambaro beach for 9 days in May 2023. The place is welcoming and located on an unbeaten beach, therefore very quiet and secluded, ideal for a relaxing stay. The accommodation is basic but very comfortable, the staff is fantastic, always ready to take care of guests and all their needs, always smiling and friendly. The kitchen is equally excellent and flexible, keep it up :) If I can give some little advice to improve the stay more, a little more attention to the maintenance of the bathrooms, maybe change some accessories that are starting to age and maybe put a roof fan in the restaurant area. for the rest nothing to say, we had a great time and will definitely return. Thanks again to all the staff. (Original) Ho alloggiato all'Ambaro beach per 9 giorni a Maggio 2023. Il posto è accogliente e situato in una spiaggia non battuta, quindi molto silenziosa ed appartata, l'ideale per un soggiorno di relax. L'accomodation basic ma comodissima, il personale è fantastico, sempre pronto a prendersi cura degli ospiti e di tutte le loro necessità, sempre sorridenti e amichevoli. La cucina è altrettanto ottima e flessibile, continuate così :) Se posso dare qualche piccolo consiglio per migliorare di più il soggiorno, un po' più di attenzione alla manutenzione dei bagni, magari cambiare qualche accessorio che inizia ad invecchiare e magari mettere un ventilatore a tetto nella zona del ristorante. per il resto nulla da dire, ci siamo trovati benissimo e ci ritorno di sicuro. Grazie ancora a tutto lo staff.

The staff is at your complete disposal to solve even the smallest inconveniences. WiFi in the central body, clean rooms, good food and in any case the chef available to make changes as needed. The strong point is the proximity to the Double Deep Diving Center that completes the "unique" dimension of a trip to the cradle of Nosy Be (Original) Resort di recente acquisizione da parte di una nuova proprietà italiana che é intervenuta con un a ristrutturazione che ha reso ancora più accogliente la struttura composta da 3 bungalow e un corpo centrale sulla splendida spiaggia di Ambaro.

Punto di forza la vicinanza con il Double Deep Diving Center che completa la dimensione "unica" di un viaggio nella culla di Nosy Be

(Translated by Google) small resort of only 3 bungalows on the beach. The staff is very friendly and helpful and works to satisfy your wishes and needs. Unfortunately they are building a large villa right next to the bungalow and this ruins the harmony of the place a bit. The proximity of the Double Deep diving 50 meters on the beach (a fantastic dive with fantastic people) makes this property a very interesting choice (Original) piccolo resort di soli 3 bungalow sulla spiaggia. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile e si opera per soddisfare i tuoi desideri e necessità. Purtroppo stanno costruendo una grande villa proprio attaccata al bungalow e questo rovina un po' l'armonia del posto. La vicinanza del Double Deep diving a 50 metri sulla spiaggia (un diving fantastico con persone fantastiche) fanno di questa struttura una scelta molto interessante

(Translated by Google) Very warm welcome, rest assured.... The boss and the manager are there to listen to you and take care of you. Need something? you just have to talk to them about it.... The bungalows face the sea, relaxation guaranteed after returning from a catamaran cruise organized by the boss Jean-Marc. What happiness... In addition, for fans, they know how to play tarot.... A more than pleasant evening. A big thank you to the whole team. (Original) Accueil très chaleureux, repos assuré.... Le patron ainsi que le gérant sont à votre écoute et à vos petits soins. Besoin de quelque chose ? il suffit de leur en parler.... Les bungalows sont face à la mer, farniente assuré au retour d'une croisière en catamaran organisé par le patron Jean-Marc. Que du bonheur... De plus, pour les mordus, ils savent jouer au tarot.... Soirée plus que sympathique. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe.

(Translated by Google) For excursions I recommend the great Beach Boys, they are local guys who offer well-organised excursions, excellent value for money! Our contact was Luca (Oclin), who met us on the beach: super helpful, kind and attentive to every need. I leave you his direct +261329967287 he speaks perfect Italian. For those who are afraid of not recognizing him, I put a suggestive photo below that anticipates what you will experience with him on one of the wonderful outings!

(Translated by Google) I stayed at the end of July 2024, and I turned to Franco from the beach Boys, who offered me various tours with spacious, new and above all clean taxis. The guides are local and know each island well. The lunch is all based on fresh and abundant fish cooked by the island's chef, with various bottled drinks. N.B. To meet Franco you have to go to the left beach, not the right one reserved for adults and relax. Franco's telephone number is: +261325095832 Also available from Italy with WhatsApp. (Original) Ho soggiornato a fine luglio 2024, e mi sono rivolto a Franco dei beach Boys, il quale mi ha proposto vari tour con taxi spaziosi,nuovi e soprattutto puliti. Le guide sono del posto e conosco bene ogni isola. Il pranzo tutto a base di pesce fresco e abbondante cucinato dal cuoco dell'isola, con varie bibite in bottiglia. N. B. Per incontrare Franco bisogna andare sulla spiaggia di sinistra non quella destra riservata agli adulti e relax . Il numero di telefono di Franco è il seguente: +261325095832 Disponibile anche dall'Italia con wathsapp.

(Translated by Google) If you stay at the Andilana Beach Resort, just go in the morning around 11 for a walk on the beach and local guides will immediately approach you and offer excursions. Or, exit the village past the two bars and among the kiosks selling local products there is the beach boys' base office. All good but ask for Antonio known as "Antonio Cinese", very honest (you can trust him by giving him the deposit to book the excursions), €60 for excursions, he will do everything to satisfy all your requests, even the most curious, lively and expert, it will take you to see the real places of Nosy Be, outside of the tourism of the villages. On excursions you can eat excellent fresh fish. Made 4 excursions with him, I recommend them all because they are always varied and beautiful! Reliable and the best! (Original) Se si soggiorna all'Andilana Beach Resort basta andare la mattina verso le 11 fare una passeggiata in spiaggia e subito si avvicinano guide locali che propongono escursioni. Oppure, uscite dal villaggio oltrepassando le due sbarre e tra i chioschetti che vendono prodotti locali c'è l'ufficio base dei beach boys. Tutti bravi ma chiedete di Antonio detto "Antonio Cinese", onestissimo (potete fidarvi dandogli l'acconto per prenotare le escursioni), 60€ le escursioni, farà di tutto per accontentare tutte le vostre richieste, anche le più curiose, vispo ed esperto, vi porterà a vedere i veri luoghi di Nosy be, al di fuori del turismo dei villaggi. Nelle escursioni si mangia in modo eccellente pesce fresco. Fatte 4 escursioni con lui, le consiglio tutte perché sempre varie e bellissime!affidabile e il migliore!

(Translated by Google) I went on two excursions with the beach boys, who contact you directly at the airport or at the cliff (border of the Andilana resort) or at the village immediately after the barrier. They are organised, they speak Italian, they accept euros and organize them to measure, I recently did a land trip with an off-road vehicle to get to know the sacred places of the island (but also the Hell market) and another of underwater fishing with Antonio "Ciccio" (to distinguish him from another Antonio of the same group). I didn't catch anything serious but it was beautiful and I will definitely do it again (maybe in a pirogue instead of a motor boat). On leaving I left my fins with Antonio and he, very dignified, looked for me the next day to give me a garnet which, upon returning to Italy, I discovered was worth much more than the fins. I'm sorry that I didn't have rubber bands for his 70 cm rifle because I used a tire and he can't buy any on the island (there are no sports shops), so if someone goes there it would be a good thing if they brought him a meter of elastic bands, which he uses to get food (at the end of the fishing he shared the fish with the boatman and the boy who accompanied us). Very serious and courteous people who make you experience the atmosphere of the island better than the village staff, with the same courtesy, greater knowledge, even if with less style and cheap means (to get to the boat we used an R4, the boat was a 5 m with a 2t 10 hp outboard, the off-road vehicle for the land trip had a broken windshield... but everything was in working order). (Original) Ho fatto due escursioni con i beach Boys, che ti contattano direttamente all'aeroporto o alla scogliera (confine del resort Andilana) o al villaggio subito dopo la sbarra. Sono organizzati, parlano italiano, accettano gli euro e le organizzano su misura, io neo ho fatta una di terra con un fuoristrada per conoscere i luoghi sacri dell'isola (ma anche il mercato di Hell) ed un'altra di pesca subacquea con Antonio "Ciccio" (per distinguerlo da un altro Antonio dello stesso gruppo). Non ho pescato nulla di seri ma è stato bellissimo e sicuramente lo ripeterò (magari in piroga invece che in barca a motore). Ripartendo ho lasciato le mie pinne ad Antonio e lui, dignitosissimo, mi ha cercato il giorno dopo per regalarmi un granato che tornato in Italia ho scoperto valere molto più delle pinne. Mi dispiace che non avevo elastici per il suo fucile da 70 cm perché io utilizzavo un pneumatico e lui sull'isola non riesce a comprarne (non ci sono negozi sportivi), per cui se qualcuno ci va sarebbe cosa buona se gli portasse un metro di elastici, che lui utilizza per procacciarsi il cibo (a fine pesca ha diviso i pesci con il barcaiolo ed il ragazzino che ci ha accompagnato). Persone serissime e cortesissime che fanno vivere l'atmosfera dell'Isola meglio del personale del villaggio, con la medesima cortesia, maggiore conoscenza, anche se con meno stile e mezzi alla buona (per arrivare alla barca abbiamo usato una R4, la barca era un 5 m con un fuoribordo 2t da 10 hp, il fuoristrada per la gita di terra aveva il parabrezza rotto... ma tutto era funzionante).

(Translated by Google) The beach and the sea here are absolutely beautiful. The beach boys organize excursions, offer sunbeds with mattresses, coconuts to drink and eat and even lunch. I trusted and in the end I ate fresh fish and lobster for the modest sum of 40,000 ariari. Recommended to relax a bit. (Original) La spiaggia e il mare qui sono decisamente bellissimi. I beach boy organizzano escursioni, offrono lettini con materasso, cocchi da bere e mangiare e pure il pranzo. Io mi sono fidato e alla fine ho mangiato pesce fresco e aragosta per la modica cifra di 40000 ariari. Consigliato per rilassarsi un po'.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic people They take you to see the real Nosy Be (Original) Persone fantastiche Vi portano a vedere la vera Nosy Be

I love this place. The food is delicious and everything is cheap. The staff are extremely nice. Highly recommend! They are closed on Fridays but open 7am to 9pm all other days. Great breakfast and coffee too, 1500 for a great coffee! Unbeatable!

(Translated by Google) We ate here every day and the food was great and the price couldn't be beat. Everything is made fresh and the waiter and chef always have a smile. If you don't want to eat inside, he's happy to take a table out and he'll do everything else possible to make the customer happy. (Original) Wir haben jeden Tag hier gegessen und das Essen war super und der Preis nicht zu toppen. Alles wird frisch gemacht und der Kellner und Koch hat immer ein Lächeln bereit. Wenn man nicht drinnen essen will, trägt er gerne einen Tisch raus und auch sonst macht er alles, was möglich ist, um den Kunden zufriedenzustellen.

(Translated by Google) A little out of the center of ambatoloaka but a 5-minute walk from the kiban hotel, unbeatable value for money and adorable staff! It's quite hot inside but there are fans, the Sao mines are plentiful and excellent (for less than €1!!!) and the fruit salad is exceptional I recommend +++ (Original) Un peu excentré de ambatoloaka mais à 5 minutes à pied du kiban hotel, rapport qualité/prix imbatable et personnel adorable !

(Translated by Google) Small gargotte, with a pleasant upstairs terrace, lasagna served for two people, one portion each, a tomato sauce version with little meat and the other the opposite, bizarre! The one with the meat very good the other good but the lack of meat degrades the appreciation. (Original) Petite gargotte,avec une terrasse à l'étage agréable ,lasagnes servis pour deux personnes,une part chacun,une version sauce tomate avec peu de viande et l'autre l'inverse,bizarre !

(Translated by Google) Great pizza! And what a welcome from the Italian owner. In short, great spot. In addition, the restaurant is upstairs which takes us away from the hubbub of the street. I highly recommend. (Original) Super pizza! Et quel accueil du proprio Italien. Bref, super spot. En plus le restaurant est à l'étage ce qui nous éloigne du broua de la rue. Je recommande chaudement.

(Translated by Google) Small snack bar that doesn't look like much, but where I ate very well. Excellent samosas with a wide variety of compositions, and the possibility of taking away. One of the few places with beer on tap, it's very cheap. 5000 Ar per pint of white gold. Wifi, fan, we are quite installed on the terrace. (Original) Petit snack qui paye pas de mine, mais où j'ai très bien mangé. Excellents samoussas avec grosse variété de composition, et possibilité d'emporter.

Not bad. Nice refurbishment. MOSTLY EXPATRIATES.

Great, tasty food.

Cool

(Translated by Google) We had the opportunity twice to try this restaurant, I would particularly like to congratulate the owner (NONO) for his welcome and his kindness. The quality of the meals served is impeccable in terms of quality and quantity, simple, efficient and excellent catering. I highly recommend this place, I will not forget the staff for their professionalism. Looking forward to our next vacation on this beautiful island planned for May 2020. See you soon, Pascal and Cathy from Reunion (Original) Nous avons eu l’occasion par deux fois de tester ce restaurant, je tiens tout particulièrement à féliciter le maître des lieux ( NONO ) pour son accueil et sa gentillesse.

This address is worth the detour. (Original) 3 visites en 2 séjours, adresse incontournable lors d’un séjour à Nosy Be. Accueil chaleureux, patron aux petits soins. Très bonne cuisine, carte variée, plats copieux, ambiance très sympathique. Cette adresse vaut le détour.

(Translated by Google) Very good address that I recommend! Good dishes always fresh and at an affordable price! We were there two years ago, it became our HQ when we return to Nosy Be! (Original) Très bonne adresse que je recommande! De bons plats toujours frais et à un prix abordable! On y a été il y a deux ans, c'est devenu un notre QG quand on repasse sur Nosy be!

(Translated by Google) "Au Rhum Riz" is a very good, reasonable bar restaurant offering very well cooked local or Western dishes. The very friendly Breton boss, Arnaud, who runs "Chez Nono", on the side of the road, a little before Andilana, will surely offer you one of his many arranged rums. (Original) "Au Rhum Riz" est un très bon bar restaurant raisonnable proposant des plats locaux très bien cuisinés ou occidentaux. Le fort sympathique patron breton, Arnaud, qui tient "Chez Nono", au bord de la route, un peu avant Andilana, vous offrira sûrement un de ces nombreux rhums arrangés.

Ordered Ravitoto (chicken cooked with cassava leaves) - one of the two traditional menu items. The taste is a bit bland - need to add more seasoning or need to add provided spicy condiments.

Clean and really nice atmosphere prior to sunset. Would go again. Staff is very friendly.

Really nice drinks and they even give you some snacks to go with it. Lovely view for sunset.

The view is nice but I ordered duck confit and one of the piece was very tough not how it should be. The other one was ok but not done very well.

I loved the food. The first time I went there I got a plastic bag inside my dish. That was shocking but I liked the way they apologize and generously did not made me pay for it. Accident happens so that was a great proof of professionalism. The prices are quite the same as the other restaurant in Nosy Be.

No veggie or chicken options .

Nice place by the sea. Good food and waiters partly speak English.

Lovely decor overlooking a park area. Good service and they brought an English menu which was appreciated. Very good food (grilled fish with coconut rice) plus they brought a spicy condiment that was quite tasty.

This place was recommended by a friend here. I am absolutely glad I came. I had the stuffed ravioli. I would have posted a picture but it was too late. Way too good. Definitely on my list of places to come to when I return to Nosy Be

Food is excellent, but the service is nothing more than ok. Took a long time to get the food every time we were there.

Give the clients good bread and they will return. Tried to buy a loaf to go but alas no 😔 Veranda is lovely, overlooking a park and vintage homes away from hustle and bustle of city . Mostly expats while I was there, but I’m sure the dinner- evening crowd is different. Reasonably priced and excellent quality. 🙏

Without a doubt the best restaurant on Nosy Komba. We discovered it via Marcine Cooper

The best meal we had in Madagascar by far! Super nice staff too. Recommended!

Nice place...recommended

This is an interesting place with many historical photographs on the wall. Staff “tolerated” us being there and were really not very interested in us. I did have a look at the second floor and it was very interesting. When I tried to take my partner up some man, likely the owner, said it was not possible to go there. I was confused as I had been up there three minutes earlier. We finished our drinks and left. They advertise free wifi, however it is too slow to even read emails. I will look for another option when I’m back in Nosy-be.

Nice place, definitely worth a visit

The place looks nice, staff is friendly and organised. Beer is cold. Pizza is good value for money but could be a bit more classic. Its hard to describe what's missing, maybe the foundation doesn't have enough tomato? The ingredients seem fresh though. Anyway, nice place to hang out in Hell-Ville!

Calamari plate and zebu steak are really good. The beers come with glasses! There is wine, wifi, tv. A true luxury in my time in Hellvile.

Cute and cosy bar situated in the heart of Nosy-by, great vibes and great variety of curious foods pickled in alcohol and left to brew.

In the heart of nosey be town with a good menu selection and drinks ...

Fantastic food, reasonably priced, free WiFi. Highly recommended!

A beautiful accommodation, overlooking the mangroves with a sea view. Close to Andilana, hikes, and other restaurants so there is lots of activities to do. I highly recommend the breakfasts, and fresh juices they are so delicious and beautifully prepared! Had a lovely stay, the staff are amazing and the facilities are all what you need. A perfect getaway in nature!

The food was high class, haute cuisine in a spectacular surrounding! Very thoughtful and playful menu, even with vegetarian options! Absolutely unique and memorable food experience! Will visit again!

We had a lovely meal at the restaurant. Malagasy flavours with French flare. And some top cocktails. Would definitely recommend!

My friend and I dined here for dinner/supper on October 8, 2023. We wanted one of our last meals in Nozy Be to be memorable and it did so! We asked our hotel to make reservations for us. We were able to pay in Eur at the most competitive exchange rates I’ve ever seen in Madagascar. Double check if you can as well but bring both currencies just in case. I emailed and they responded within 30 minutes of the email. I think these rates were off google. This showed honesty and transparency! The price was cheaper than we expected! To get this type of service at the price we got was amazing! We arrived when the chef arrived home so they were just prepping and getting ready. A table for two was set for us. We sat outside. So you may get a few bites in the evening but no big deal. As we were the only guests, it felt like a VIP experience. I believe they are busier for lunch? The Chef walked us through the menu which was written on a surfboard. We both ordered the chicken which was stuffed with a meat filling of sorts. My friend ordered “mashed sweet potato”, and I ordered “fries”. There were other options available like a salad, aubergine, etc. The chicken was so tender, the sauce was plentiful to keep it moist, the stuffing was so “homey”. I used the bread to soak up the sauce. For dessert my friend ordered the tiramisu and I ordered the banana flambé with a side of vanilla ice cream (not shown). We loved it! Also, for the Chef/owner we said hi to Elma!

Simply amazing french cuisine!

The Best eat

(Translated by Google) The best meal we had on Nosy Be! Alexandre delighted us with his advice, knowledge, and great places to go on the island and the hikes we could take there.

They make great Mojitos!

Very chilled

CHILL

(Translated by Google) The setting and the music at the top! The DJ on the mezzanine ensures a max. However, the place was a little deserted and there was a lack of regularity in the preparation of the cocktails: my first Virgin Mojito was good, the 2nd undrinkable, no taste! (Original) Le cadre et la musique au top! Le DJ en mezzanine assure un max. Néanmoins le lieu était un peu désert et il y a un manque de régularité dans la préparation des cocktails : mon premier Virgin Mojito était bon, le 2ème imbuvable, aucun goût !

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant place with direct access to a magnificent beach. Cozy and well-organized rooms (Original) Posto gradevolissimo scon accesso diretto ad una magnifica spiaggia. Camere accoglienti e ben organizzate

(Translated by Google) Bar restaurant in Ambatoloaka, facing the beach. Beautiful typical Malagasy decor, a small infinity pool, two pool tables.

Beau décor typique Malgache, une petite piscine à débordement, deux table de billard. Malheureusement, le service n'est pas exceptionnel, les prix sont corrects.

(Translated by Google) A great setting to admire the sunset...by the beach...the servers are friendly.top notch (Original) Un cadre super pour admirer le coucher de soleil...au bord de la plage...les seveurs sont sympa.au top

Best ice cream around! Literal hole in the wall ice cream shop with friendly owner. Great place to get a scoop and hang out watching the nightlife.

Small street front Ice Cream shop with a few outside tables . Excellent ice cream 🍦 Banana Split is awesome, large enough for 2 . 🙏

Amazing ice cream : probably the best I've had in Madagascar. Prices are not excessive at all, I ate 3 just yesterday

Doesn’t get better than delicious sorbet on a hot & humid day 🍦

Okay ice cream but not hygienically enough. They touch all the cones with their hands instead of using the napkin to hold it

Great ice cream shop with some exotic tropical flavors like coconut, lychee and ginger......served in a coconut shell 😎

(Translated by Google) Still the best ice cream shop in Ambatuloaka. What a shame it closes so early in the week! (Original) Toujours le meilleur glacier d' Ambatuloaka. Quel dommage qu'il ferme si tôt en début de semaine!

I had an incredible experience dining at this amazing restaurant in Nosy Be! The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients that showcased the best of local flavors. The service was top-notch—friendly and attentive staff made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was relaxing and perfect for enjoying a beautiful meal. If you’re in Nosy Be, this place is a must-visit! Highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Alta Marea, an exquisite Italian restaurant in Nosy Be. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor strikes the perfect balance between modern elegance and cozy comfort. The menu offers a delightful array of Italian and local dishes, but my absolute favorite is the « filet de zébu aux 4 poivres ». The dish is perfectly cooked and seasoned, melting in your mouth with every bite. The service is great. The staff are attentive, and friendly. They make you feel right at home and ensure you have a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend visiting this gem in Nosy Be. You won’t be disappointed!

Saw it as the second best place in Nosy Be and decided to visit. Salade de poulpe was okay, but nothing really special. The plat of Tentacles de poulpe came cold inside. Rather mediocre experience.

(Translated by Google) I ate at Alta Maria and was simply delighted. The setting is superb, with your feet almost in the sand, and a magnificent view. The atmosphere is both chic and relaxed, perfect for enjoying yourself. I had zebu, an incredibly tender and perfectly cooked meat... surely one of the best dishes I've tasted on the island. The service is attentive; you feel truly welcomed. A special mention to Scott! (Original) J’ai mangé chez Alta Maria et je me suis tout simplement régalé. Le cadre est superbe, les pieds presque dans le sable, avec une vue magnifique. L’ambiance est à la fois chic et détendue, parfaite pour profiter. J’ai pris du zébu, une viande incroyablement tendre et parfaitement cuisinée… sûrement l’un des meilleurs plats que j’ai goûtés sur l’île, Le service est aux petits soins, on se sent vraiment bien accueilli. Mention spéciale à Scott !

(Translated by Google) Without a doubt, the best restaurant on the island. We dined there three times during a previous stay and four times during this trip. The combination of Italian cuisine and Malagasy products is incredible. The cocktails are very refined. The staff is attentive. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the service. (Original) Sans aucun doute le meilleur restaurant de l'île. Nous y avons dîné 3 fois lors d'un précédent séjour et 4 fois lors de ce séjour. Le mariage de la cuisine italienne et des produits malgaches est incroyable. Les cocktails sont très raffinés. Le personnel est au petit soin. Les prix sont très corrects au regard de la qualité de la prestation.

(Translated by Google) Lured by the overwhelmingly positive reviews, we were instead a bit disappointed. Nothing too bad, but nothing too exciting either. We ordered tartare and ceviche, both good, but the ceviche was awkward to eat. Our main course was tagliolini with crab and grilled octopus. The main dishes arrived in literally five minutes, almost impossible to have been made exactly to order, especially the pasta. The flavors were good, but perhaps above the standard of an all-inclusive hotel. With three drinks, two glasses of wine (more than mediocre), two appetizers, and two main courses, we spent €60, certainly above the national average. (Original) Attirati dalle recensioni super positive, siamo invece rimasti un po’ delusi. Niente di super sbagliato ma nemmeno qualcosa di esaltante. Abbiamo ordinato una tartare e un ceviche, buoni, presentazione del ceviche scomoda per mangiare. Piatto principale invece tagliolini al granchio e polpo arrostito. I piatti principali ci sono arrivati letteralmente in 5 minuti, quasi impossibile fossero fatti esattamente al momento, sopratutto la cottura della pasta. Sapori buoni, ma forse per uno standard da hotel con tutto incluso. Con 3 drink, due bicchieri di vino (più che mediocre), 2 antipasti e 2 piatti principali abbiamo speso 60€, sicuramente al di sopra della media del paese.

(Translated by Google) We absolutely love this Italian restaurant! Scott, the owner, is incredibly kind and attentive from start to finish. Everything is homemade, it's a real treat! The setting is warm and inviting, making you feel right at home. A must-visit in Nosy Be! (Original) Un vrai coup de cœur pour ce restaurant italien ! Scott, le propriétaire, est d’une gentillesse incroyable et aux petits soins du début à la fin. Tout est fait maison c’est un régal ! Le cadre est chaleureux, on s’y sent comme à la maison. Une adresse à ne surtout pas manquer à Nosy Be !

After ordering they bring the wrong drinks - and only when I said it wasn’t what I ordered did they say they had run out and just given me something else. Manager didn’t seem to care. Then second drink was awful, loads of mango hairs and when I questioned he said it was how the mango was - poorly filtered and choose a different variety of mango for drinks. He just sat there and smoked and didn’t give a shit. Shame the owner just doesn’t care about the guest experience. Also double the price of other places on the beach. Head south 150m for better service, nice drinks and good management.

The restaurant is really delicious, handmade Italian cuisine and more. We loved the home made pasta with seafood and the smoked fish. Very nice and professional staff. There's a great atmosphere in the place, with super nice dogs. Highly recommended!

I had an absolutely delightful stay at this charming beachside bed and breakfast! The location was perfect—just steps from the sand, offering breathtaking ocean views and sunsets. The room was cozy, and clean. The breakfast each morning was a treat, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients that made for a delicious start to the day. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring I was well taken care of. It was a peaceful, rejuvenating escape, and I can't wait to return! Grazie!

The best place to stay. Elisabetta, Ian, and their staff (Rocque, Djani and the chefs-sorry for the typing mistakes) are super welcoming, professional and friendly. Always ready to give you advices and tips about everything you need. The place is quiet, food is absolutely amazing. The view it's just a dream, you'll see the best sunset of your life from the seabed just in front. 100% recommended. Five stars only because we can't give more!

The best langusta I have ever eaten. Profesional and kind service. Inspiring talks with owner. Lovely place, fantastic view, beautiful sunset. Ideal place - I definitely recommend

We eat here often. They have good food and the owner is very kind and will be happy to help with recommendations.

Awesome food. Great service and very friendly owner and staf. A must go

Very nice place to hang out, breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a beer.

I went here in October 2019 and I loved it. Great place, great atmosphere and delicious food.

Had a great lunch of Zebulon steak, garlic baked potato and salad for $5.30US! Great tender steak. Very good service.

Great service & excellent WiFi! Order samosas in advance and cook them at home later. Only kind and open service here

They tell you they accept euro coins til you want to pay a 3 euro bill. Then they have a huge problem almost calling police.

nice food and fruit juices. very reasonable prices. staff very friendly. a good adress.

Nice place for food, meet lots of new people. Had no issues here

Fresh seafood amazing pasta great service. All around best restaurant in Nosy Be. The chef came out to greet us and her love of food shows through

I had the most incredible dining experience at a restaurant in Madagascar. The food was incredibly flavorful and refreshing, and it practically melted in my mouth, allowing me to savor all the delightful flavors. Highly recommend you to come and visit

So far the best experience in Madagascar. Me and my wife love food and we’re definitely not easy to please. We’re shocked to find out Sakia restaurant serves foie gras! Definitely didn’t expect here! We had also absolutely amazing salad and duck! So well made! Definitely coming back! Restaurant is CASH only. We didn’t expect that, so it was kind of a problem, but we sorted it out.

Absolutely incredible. We didn’t expect to find this gem of a place with such yummy food. The chef is amazing, service is lovely, views are gorgeous. Would highly recommend!!
