    They will serve you an amazingly delicious grilled crayfish. Pricing is really reasonable. The best meal that you could enjoy in on the beach of Ambatolaoka.

    Extremely long waiting time but the food was delicious. On the other hand, dishonest waitress who charged us 10,000 Ar more for a dish than what was displayed on the menu for an incomprehensible reason. We objected strongly, and then she ended up returning the posted price. This is not the first time that this has happened to us in restaurants, so be careful for tourists or people coming with vazah, check everything when paying the bill so as not to be fooled.

    (Translated by Google) Beach gargotte where you can have lunch (lunch only), fish, lobsters, grilled meats, rice and fries, that's about all that's on offer. Pay attention to hygiene, do not take dishes that are not well cooked. The service is a bit long, not always efficient. We eat on large wooden tables facing the sea, next to each other a bit like a canteen. (Original) Gargotte de plage où l'on peut déjeuner (uniquement le midi), poissons, langoustes, viandes grillées, riz et frites, voilà un peu près tout ce qui est proposé. Attention à l'hygiène, ne pas prendre des plats qui ne sont pas bien cuits. Le service est un peu long, pas forcément toujours efficace. On mange sur de grandes tables en bois en face de la mer, les uns à côté des autres un peu comme une cantine.

    (Translated by Google) Bargain prices, you can eat fresh fish for a few euros! The environment is very simple and basic but the staff are polite and very efficient. Perfect for those who love dogs, there are always some! (Original) Prezzi stracciati, si mangia pesce fresco a pochi euro! L'ambiente è molto semplice e spartano ma il personale è gentile e molto efficiente. Perfetto per chi ama i cani, ce ne sono sempre!

    Went to Chez Tantine based on recommendation of a local hotel owner. It is a seafood restaurant where you choose your seafood - I got the mixed seafood (lobster, prawns, fish and calamari) for 50,000 Ari Ari. The seafood was good and came with choice of potatoes or coconut rice.

    One of my favorite spots for fresh seafood in Nosy Be for over 7 years! I hadn’t been here since 2018 and was so happy to find that food, prices, and atmosphere were just as great as before. When I’m season, definitely get the tomato + avocado salad. I had the lobster with coconut rice for my main course and my fiancé got the poisson sauce. Huge portions and fresh flavors.

    The best place in Nosy Be - it was our favourite meal there, we had to go back for a second time. Delicious fresh seafood, huge portions for a very affordable price. Best meal we've had in a long time. Highly recommend! And very nice staff.

    Excellent family atmosphere and remarkable quality-price! Very friendly staff. All products are fresh. In the two daily arrivals from the fishermen in front of the restaurant and if by chance you do not find what you are looking for, Auntie will find it at another fisherman or hunter and will treat you to it, all you have to do is order plain or Creole style ... Typical restaurant, natural without pretense, very local, offering an anthology of flavors and local dishes... Frankly a real treat in all the dishes, yes, I have tried everything, I am greedy and you will too enjoy in this small, typical and pleasant restaurant!

    (Translated by Google) Before on the beach, very good. Now, behind kokoloko, I have eaten a grouper that has taken my mind off it. Then a ginger rum, a coffee and ... long live life (Original) Antes en la playa ,muy bien. Ahora, detrás de kokoloko, he comido un mero que me ha quitado el sentido. Después un ron de jengibre , un café y.... viva la vida

    (Translated by Google) To all the tourists, Italians and non-Italians, who read me: if you are staying in Ambatolaoka, go to Tantine's to eat! Getting there is easy, on the right of the Hotel Espadon there is an opening to the beach, then turn right, walk 40-50 meters and you will find it immediately, Tantine is on the beach! Excellent cuisine, affordable prices and Tantine is an attractive, nice and very kind woman who, in the end, will offer you her excellent "arrangè" rum. Be sure to tip the old man who plays an incredible musical instrument, he is a very good person and in 2009 I bought his CD with the songs that I listen to at home every now and then. This summer, since I discovered Tantine, I have not gone anywhere else, I was too well! The staff is also very good and, if you want to drink wine, I recommend that you notify Tantine in advance so he can get it for you. A real asset, in 2017 I will be back in September and, for two weeks, I will be there permanently! (Original) A tutti i turisti, italiani e non, che mi leggono: se soggiornate ad Ambatolaoka, per mangiare andate da Tantine! Arrivare è facile, a destra dell'Hotel Espadon c'è un varco per la spiaggia, poi voltate a destra, fate 40-50 metri e la trovate subito, Tantine è sulla spiaggia! Cucina ottima, prezzi convenienti e Tantine è una donna piacente, simpatica e gentilissima che, alla fine, vi offrirà il suo ottimo rum "arrangè". Non mancate di dare una mancia all'anziano che suona uno strumento musicale incredibile, è una bravissima persona e nel 2009 ho comprato il suo CD con le canzoni che a casa, ogni tanto, ascolto. Questa estate, da quando ho scoperto Tantine, non sono più andato altrove, stavo troppo bene! Il personale poi è bravissimo e, se volete bere vino, consiglio di avvisare Tantine in anticipo così ve lo procura. Una vera risorsa, nel 2017 tornerò in settembre e, per due settimane, sarò lì in pianta stabile!

    Bonne adresse sur Ambatoloaka pour manger du bon poisson, des langoustes, du crabe, du calamar… tout est bon! Accompagnez cela avec du riz coco et un Achard mangues ! Je ne vous dis que ça 😉 Le lieu ne paye pas de mine, mais l’endroit vaut le détour ! Arrivez tôt le dimanche car les autres restos alentours sont en grande partie fermés ce jour là, donc le lieu est très prisé.

    Attention c'est souvent complet! Des plats simples, généreux. Tantine est aux petits soins avec ses clients.

  • 5/5 Liv T. 1 year ago on Google
    Le meilleur restaurant à Madagascar! Enfin une adresse où on ne se fout pas de la gueule des végétariens, j'y aie mangé tous les jours pendant mon séjour et le plat végétarien ( riz coco, légumes sautés, salade) était tellement abondant que j'ai même eue du mal à le terminer. En plus délicieux et pas cher: 10.000 ariary. Belle cadre vue sur mer et personnel très sympathique et gentil. Au top!!!

  • 4/5 Cicia F. 1 year ago on Google
    Globalement,j'ai bien aimé. Juste que dès qu'on commandait, la carte nous a été retiré alors qu'on voulait ajouter autre chose après en dégustant les plats. A part cela les frites était servis sans aucune sauce avant de demander si on peut en avoir et qu'on attende plusieurs minutes avant de les avoir car ils viennent d'en acheter...Mais en tout, bon rapport qualité-prix et cuisine savoureuse 😊

    Plus comme avant sur la plage. Maintenant dans un petit truc, les prix sont plus cher aussi pour une qualité de gargotte. Quel dommage!

    I recommend this address. It doesn't look like much but it's a treat. Lobsters, fresh fish, sea cicadas, prawns, squid and shrimps. Sautéed vegetables, coconut rice or fried potatoes as an accompaniment. Félix also offers you his small fresh oysters and clams with a lime. Everything is delicious and well presented. Auntie and the staff are very friendly and caring. Address not to be missed.

👍👍 I ate twice in this restaurant and I really enjoyed it. The setting is nice, eating with your feet in the water with the sound of the waves. They offer a wide choice in their menu (seafood, pasta, Malagasy meals, etc.) and their dishes are good and plentiful and the staff is very friendly and respon...
