Hotel Violette

Ate lunch here twice, traveling from Tana to Ranomafana and back. Very good food both times. Very friendly staff who speak several languages. Had live music entertainment the second time. Recommend.

We only stopped for good but it was good enough to mean on the return journey we stopped again (Zebu-steak frites both times). The Wifi was only working on our first stop; it was a good connection. If you're driving from Tana to Fianarantsoa it's a good place to split the drive (~midway).

I was satisfied with the food. Good portions and a nice selection of options. Sit outside in the back and enjoy some really fantastic views of rice fields and the city. There are two entertaining parrots to keep you company out back.

Useful stover, but not pretty

The food takes long to make.
