What Baguette is
Long loaf left from the French period, eaten with butter or stew.
Baguette is listed as a bakery item in the Madagascar guide, where the index tags it vegetarian and mild. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.
Where to find Baguette
Baguette is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Madagascar. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
The Madagascar guide also covers 4 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.
