This is the type of urbanization project I really appreciate in every city I visit and I am very glad it’s happening in my home city Antananarivo. They renovated the beautiful colonial building which is the central train station and it’s now hosting a french bistrot called “Café de la gare” along with a art gallery.
The decor is great, high cealings, comfortable seats and well furnished nice bar to get a good “aperitif”. It reminded me the great ambiance you get in some upscale bistros in Paris.
So on a late evening, three of us decided to show up for dinner, we were well received by the manager in charge and were directed to a nice table not far from the piano.
We were given the menus which showcased typical french bistrot fares. This is were the dining experience turned a little bit sour.
It took a while before our waiter came back to get our drink order. By the time he came back with the bottle our neighbours which were seated after us were already served their dishes.
Once we got our bottle of wine , we reminded our waiter it was time to order food, and then came the surprise: we were told the kitchen was closed! Quite unbelievable.
I went to the bar and then in the kitchen to find the manager to express my disappointment. Usually, you should not accept customers and give them a table if your kitchen is closed. Once I got in the kitchen, all cooks were still busy making food so it appeared I was told a lie. The manager explained that the waiter made a mistake and they will take our order right away.
Being a hungry traveller and a fan of traditional bistrot fare, I opted for a duck magret with french fries. Recently, duck and foie gras have become a must taste for foodies visiting Madagascar so I hoped the Café de la gare’s kitchen would make something great from these wonderful ingredients.
Another disappointment arise when I got my plate. The fries were dry and the duck magret was overcooked if not burned ( typical magret should be served pink, no ? ) . After this, we didn’t want to take another risk and preferred to get the check.
After that visit, We went to Cafe de la Gare on several occasions whether it was for an after dinner drink or for dinner but we have noticed that the service was still very unconsistent.
Do we come back?
It’s not a place I would recommend if you are looking for good food and good service. There are plenty of other restaurant with better food in town. Still, the decor is worth a visit and remains a good hang out place for a late night drink before hitting Antananarivo’s nightlife.
