2 Best Restaurants in Madagascar

Corto Maltese

$

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

Ristorante Esterel

$

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