Tout y est délicieux & réconfortant ! Que ce soit le ravitoto, le misao, le rougail, le jus de corrossol, & mention spéciale pour la viande fumée ! Un must-try 🙌 Je recommande sans hésiter que ce soit pour les malgaches comme moi nostalgiques du pays ou toute personne souhaitant découvrir cette belle cuisine ! Le service est vraiment sympathique & le chef Bryan est très accueillant également, misaotra betsaka & je reviendrai avec plaisir !
Amazing authentic restaurant!! The chef came to our table to get to know us & talk about the restaurant. Amazing service , food was delicious & beautiful restaurant. We had curry chicken, poulet fumé, banane plantain, sambosa, rolls & fried beignets with traditional tea.

C'est un coup de coeur de la première visite. Ayant gouter le porc fumée m'a rappelé certains plats de mon pays d'origine. & je n'ai pas hésité d'y aller pour une 2e fois quand j'ai voulu sortir pour un lunch. Moi & m'a conjointe nous avons aimé la place. Brien est un excellent chef & une belle personne accueillante.
J'y vais retourner plusieurs fois pour gouter tout le menu!
Nous avons eu la chance de découvrir la cuisine malgache pleines de saveurs & servie par un personnel si gentil. Que dire du chef Bryan & son accueil personnalisé qui nous a offert ses délicieux beignets avec les compliments de la maison. Le niveau de décibels était élevé avec un groupe de 20 personnes ainsi qu'un autre de 12
Très hâte d'y retourner pour essayer d'autres délectables saveurs. Longue vie au chef Bryan & son équipe 👌
I would honestly give 6 stars across the board if I could! I live just around the corner & really regret having never come to the restaurant until tonight. Chef Brian was so kind to come out from behind the counter & greet my friend & I. I have never met a more personable & attentative chef! The food itself was absolutely delicious! My friend & I were really touched by the free donuts, too
Cuisine délicieuse rendant fidèlement hommage à la gastronomie malgache. Mélange de saveurs aux rendez-vous. Accueil chaleureux par le Chef Bryan & son équipe !
Très bon moment entres amies hier soir ! Endroit où on s'entend discuter tout en mangeant tres bien & le salut du Chef a la fin du repas fut tres apprécié 😊 j'y retournerais
Amazing restaurant. The chef & owner is not only talented, but also incredibly kind & welcoming. A cozy & warm atmosphere with delicious flavors. They are also very sensitive to allergies & restrictions, which, being celiac, I really appreciate.
Everything was great, we tried 4 different dishes, as appetizers mango salad & samosas beef, both great & as main dishes coconut chicken, ravitoto & 2 others plus dessert the one with a icecream scope. A must try! Also we asked for spicy sauce & they brought us something homemade, super spicy & so good it could be addictive! Bryan was the chef & he came to the table to ask for our feedback, definitely a a good cozy spot to try in Montreal.

Quelle belle découverte. Ce petit restaurant de quartier chaleureux & familial a tout pour plaire. Une carte épurée mais complète parmi laquelle un choix d'entrées, de plats & de desserts variés. Les plats sont généreux, savoureux & équilibrés. Nous nous sommes régalées & reviendront avec enthousiasme. Petit bonus la maman du chef qui fait le tour des tables en fin de repas pour s'assurer que tout s'est bien passé, suivi du chef & propriétaire du lieu, avec qui nous avons également eu un bel échange. C'est un 10/10!
The only Malagasy restaurant in a 6 hour radius of Boston, highly worth the trip! Great, authentic dishes made by a Malagasy chef. They had one of my favorite treats, koba/mofo ravina! Highly recommend
Simply superb! I wish there were more Malagasy places around that offered a menu like this, but if you're anywhere in North America, you have to get to Montreal for this place.
Ravitoto - As a Malagasy person, I am biased as I've been eating this meal since I was a kid. I've seen the good & the bad & this is without a doubt, one of the better dishes I've ever had. The cassava has been simmered down so perfectly that it's almost like a sauce rather than cassava leaves. Protein accompanied with a bowl of rice hits the spot in ways that I can't even explain. Get it. It will not let you down.
Coconut Chicken - Curry-esque & super flavorful, this coconut chicken over rice was absolutely amazing. The sauce is almost gravy like, but with a curry consistency & had soooooo much flavor. Seasoned to perfection, I could get this over & over again & be completely satisfied.
Sausages & Mango Salad - you can tell the chef makes these sausages in-house because they are completely different from anything I've ever had. Very nice, very light, very flavorful. The accompanying mango salad gives you a nice little pallet cleanser to go along with your meal.
Appetizers - We ordered the Nems & the Sambos & they did not disappoint. The Nems are like egg rolls served with the duck sauce & the beef Samos are like a Samosa, but with Chef Bryan's twist of adding scallions inside. Delightful starters.
Desserts - for dessert, we ordered Chef Brian's beignets that were swimming in a sweet glazed sauce & absolutely went perfect with a cup of coffee. He also brought out a cassava bread top with vanilla ice cream, which was amazing. The cassava bread was beautiful in texture & paired well with what I'm assuming was Malagasy vanilla ice cream.
If you like Soursop, there's a soursop ice cream that we didn't try but if it's anything like the soursop drink, it has to be delectable.
If this place were anywhere near me in the states, I'd be here twice a week without fail. If you're lucky enough to be close by or can travel regularly, please do yourself a favor & get here. The atmosphere transports you Madagascar, along with a friendly staff & food made by Chef Brian that will knock your socks off.
C'est magnifique!

Lovely discovery. The only Malagasy food I've tried before going to this restaurant was achard. I was pleasantly surprised by the food, full of flavour & love. I loved the fish & dessert. My partner loved the duck, very unique with the vanilla sauce. The chef took the time to come to the table, asked us how we found the food, his mom was also helping around, talking to guests. I will come back.
Nous étions trois amies à visiter ce restaurant & nous y avons fait une belle découverte. La chef est venue voir les clients aux tables vers la fin de la soirée & nous avons pu en apprendre plus sur les mets que nous avions mangés.
Les saveurs étaient présentes & les quantités suffisantes.
Un plus: apportez votre vin.
Very warm & welcoming atmosphere! You feel like you're having a dinner party at someone's house, & I mean that literally because the mother of the chef came over to each table to say,'hello.'
I have never had food from Madagascar, which seems to be a unique mixture of Asian & African. The seasoning was just a touch salty for me, but I did not eat the curry or stewed manioc leaves with all the rice; I imagine the rice balances it all out. Despite that small blip, I highly recommend this neighborhood gem & I will certainly be back!
Recommandé par Tastet, nous avons essayé à plusieurs reprises de réserver à cet établissement la journée même & c'était toujours complet. Nous avons finalement réussi hier soir & avons pu découvrir ce petit resto qui fait rayonner les plats de l'île de Madagascar, une cuisine que nous connaissions pas du tout. Ce fut une très belle soirée. Les plats étaient délicieux & le service attentif & chaleureux. Avec une formule apportez votre vin, l'expérience n'est pas très dispendieuse. De plus, la famille était présente & la mère du chef a pris le temps d'échanger avec chaque table. Merci à l'équipe de Tastet d'avoir promu le resto & félicitations à toute l'équipe derrière ce projet. C'est fantastique!
Ps essayez la soupe. Le bouillon est sublime!
