The Malagasy host and author, Michèle Rakotoson, has restored and furnished her house tastefully, using embroidered tablecloths made in the village. Traditional tableware and simple authentic Malagasy decor makes Chez Haga suitable for various cultural events, such as literature, poetry and jazz evenings as well as ''[[kabary]]'' - a traditional Malagasy form of speech used in public debates throughout the rule of the Imerina Kingdom. While kabary was suppressed during the French colonisation it re-emerged following independence.
In addition to the serviced restaurant, Michèle permits her welcomes guests and day visitors to unwrap their own picnics at the fixed-to-the-ground wooden tables in the large garden area. Self-serviced picnickers are only expected to buy their drinks from the restaurant.
