Run by Landy, the teacher at Tana Kitchen cooking school with which this restaurant shares premises, Toko Telo is our pick to try expertly crafted Malagasy specialities. In addition to soups, there are pork, zebu, seafood and chicken mains, as well as sorbets (try the baobab flavour) and pastries. For a real local delicacy, try the zanadandy, fried local caterpillars.
