Le Rossini

Le Rossini is a first-class restaurant occupying an old, traditional Malagasy two-storey building in the Isoraka district of Antananarivo. The restaurant serves traditional French cuisine prepared with fresh Malagasy ingredients. Guests can either sit in the bar area or in the more elegant dining room. Those wishing to have some privacy or to celebrate an event can reserve one of the separate dining rooms on the first floor. Throughout the warmer months the terrace is open.

For starter, try a Whole foie gras semi-cooked or Zébu carpaccio with pink pepper. As main course, either a delicious Tournedos of Zébu with Béarnaise sauce or Escalope of chicken with vanilla sauce will fail to disappoint. For desert, why not indulge yourself in a Mille-feuille with vanilla from Madagascar and thereafter enjoy a cigar in the bar lounge with a Congac Camus Napoléon?

All the staff are very friendly and service minded and will usually sweeten your bill with a rhum arrangé of your choice on the house. Usually on weekends a local band plays live well-known classical hits in a relaxed jazz-like interpretation.
