Food in Madagascar

When visiting the island, you should take the opportunity to try the Malagasy gastronomy: you can satisfy your curiosity either in a gourmet restaurant or in a cheap eating place called "gargote" which serves simple and authentic foods. The street, with its groups of hawker, is an important place of discovery which is not to be neglected.

Rice is the staple food for the Malagasy people. There are several varieties of it in the country; the " red " one is the tastiest and appears among the best in the world. Whatever your dish, rice will be its accompaniment throughout your travel. Don't miss the opportunity of drinking the "ranovola" or rice-based beverage!!!
