Savanna Cafe

Top choice in Madagascar


With lovely views from the terrace, a warm welcome from the Cameroonian owner Paul Roger, Savanna Cafe is a terrific choice at any time of day. The Malagasy and West African dishes are especially well executed but it also does snacks, burgers, pizza and good salads.
