Reviews For Restaurant Le CITIZEN

A superb find in Madagascar. This restaurant was tres bien. We went on a Sunday and it was a buffet brunch. I was slightly perturbed as a vegetarian as I could see a lot of meat options. I had nothing to fear after a conversation with the host I was accommodated for in grand style. The food prepared for me was scrumptious, creative and delicious. I was very satisfied and impressed with their adaptability. I appreciated the service I was given. I would highly recommend this restaurant. My friend was very happy with her choices and she isn't a vegetarian. My only negative no alcohol but that is just personal pressure. I loved the view, so beautiful overlooking the lake.

Great hidden spit with an excellent view over the lake. French-Malagasy fusion menu surprises combined with particularly attentive service makes it one of the best places to dine in Tana.

This is fine dining with a view! Delicious food, impeccable quality of ingredients, good value for money for what you get. Drinks are a bit more on the expensive side, but still reasonable. The service can be a tad slow at times, especially during lunch hour. The outdoors atmosphere and view is nice, if it wouldn't be for flies that can disturb your dining experience. Next time I'll avoid the terrace and sit inside

This is quite a little gem. An old colonial house turned restaurant with breathtaking views over a lake that also allows you to see the lit-up Palais de la Reine. Very cozy and homey but classy! The food is also pretty good and at a reason price. Would 100% recommend the Soufflé. Don't forget to ask for the Olive Tapenade. It's pretty good

Pure excellence. Very friendly staff who also speak English. Great choice of dishes including vegetarian. Food is of excellent quality and beautifully presented. The restaurant has a nice terrace with great view over the lake and the city.

Colourful and nicely designed dishes. The octopus curry was delicious and the aubergine in different textures was very original and it had a really good taste because of the sauce and nice ingredient mixture. The service was good, polite and professional. Definitely, we will come back.
