Antananarivo's Best Value French Restaurant & Wine Paradise

Le Petit Verdot 📍 Just a stone's throw from Radisson Hotel (look for the wine bottle sign!) 🍷 Wine Lover's Heaven: Ceiling covered with vintage wine labels Staircase adorned with collected corks An entire wall of wines (some for sale, some stored for regulars) Mostly sold by bottle (only 2-3 available by glass) 🍹 For Non-Wine Drinkers: Their signature "Punch Coco de Sainte Marie" (rum-based, sweet & spicy) is a must-try! I opted for a non-alcoholic fruit cocktail - equally delightful. (The owner clearly loves Sainte Marie island!) 🍽️ Our Meal: Starter: Goat cheese salad & bone marrow (rich but delicious) Main: Red wine braised duck leg (perfectly sweet) & fish fillet *Pro tip: The portions are generous - we couldn't even manage dessert! 💸 Total: ~150,000 Ariary (insane value for this quality!) ✨ Hidden Gem: The owner gave us a tour of their surprising basement - this unassuming facade hides an expansive, beautifully designed space. Definitely worth becoming a regular! #MadagascarGourmet #TanaEats #WineLovers #FrenchCuisine #HiddenGemRestaurant
