Alternatively, for good exchange rates in the airportcity, go to [[NCH]]. Located opposite == Restaurants == Good food can be found in both the international domestic and International terminal just across but not inside the flight departure area after check-in. Alternatively, an outdoors restaurant can be found opposite the parking lot , close to the petrol station, as well as a restaurant and cafe directly at the petrol station. For those with three or more hours between connecting flights, a visit to the [[Croc Farm]] in a park on the other side of the runway is recommended. There is a good restaurant, which even has crocodile burgers on the menu! Alternatively, for a somewhat more authentic Malagasy ''[[hotely]]'' experience, stop by [[Mitsinjo Box]], shortly before the road turns left into Croc Farm. A taxi to Croc Farm takes between 10 and 15 minutes. A highly recommended lunch and dinner restaurant at the first cross road about 1km from Ivato in the direction of Tana is [[Mo Cafe|Mo Café]]. Mo Cafe is also a popular bar during evenings. == Local area map == [[File:Ivato International Airport 003.jpg|600px]] == Accommodation == * [http://www.reservations.mg/contact-hotel-island-continent-hotel-ivato-tananarive-madagascar.html Island Continent Hotel Ivato]* [[Manoir Rouge]] == Nearby == * [[Croc Farm]]* [[La Ferme d'Ivato]]* [[Domaine du Lac]]* [[Travel ExchangeIvato Airport Viewpoint]]* [http://www.cheval-madagascar.com www.cheval-madagascar.
