Cafe
Cafe des Arts is a charming French cafe located in a 19th-century building with vintage decor and garden seating. Run by French expats, it offers a delightful menu of French cafe fare and coffee. The cafe also features an adorable vintage-furnished seating area and an in-house colorful apparel boutique, creating an inviting ambience that exudes colonial heritage charm. Additionally, visitors can explore the adjacent Nirvana shop for hand-made gifts and souvenirs.
Amazing place for a French breakfast and brunch. The crepes are truly special, especially with the amazing variety of rare toppings you can put on them. The veg omelette was served with a couple of other side dishes which make it quite a wholesome meal. The service was slightly slow eventhough I went at non peak hours but they make everything in house which is great. I faced a big issue with mosquitoes because it was monsoon so probably choose something full length when going here or the mosquitoes won't stop pestering you.

Visited Cafe Des Arts during Christmas holidays, after listening to a huge hype for this place from my friends. The ambience was great. However, after waiting in a long queue, the food & its taste made it a slightly disappointing experience. However, the place has a good vibe. If you haven't visited this place, you could visit for once to experience an authentic french cafe.

Cafe des Arts, known for its charming ambience, left me with mixed feelings during my visit. While the cafe's setting and atmosphere lived up to the hype, the culinary experience fell slightly short. Starting with the positives, the croissants at Cafe des Arts were delightful. They were fresh, flaky, and lived up to my expectations. Additionally, the eggs dishes were prepared well and met my expectations in terms of taste and quality. I particularly enjoyed the cold espresso, which provided a refreshing pick-me-up. The flavors were well-balanced, making it a satisfying beverage choice. However, one downside of Cafe des Arts was its limited menu, especially when it came to vegetarian options. The countable vegetarian choices might disappoint those looking for more variety. It would be great if the cafe could expand its menu to cater to a wider range of dietary preferences. Another area of improvement is the service, which was disappointingly slow. The wait times for orders and receiving attention from the staff were longer than expected. This sluggish service detracted from the overall dining experience. Although the food did not completely live up to the hype, the ambience at Cafe des Arts was undeniably captivating. The cafe offers both indoor seating and an open lawn, providing options for guests to enjoy their meals in a pleasant environment.

The place has a great ambiance, the artwork and store are highly curated. Each corner has a different and unique type of art taste. It's a heritage French house tastefully converted/restored into a café. The food is decent not really exceptional as such. Visit for the ambiance, the store, to take photos, meet friends, and enjoy the space.

Cafe is famous for its breakfast and brunch. If you wanna click some nice pictures, this is the place for you. Nice ambiance,friendly staff. Fresh bakery goods and fresh food made all the time. You can even buy organic vegan products from there. They amazing indoor and outdoor seating and bookshelf loaded with books to enjoy reading while have some nice brunch or snacks.

Not worth the wait of 60 Minutes, and yes I'm saying this being a foodie myself. Will not recommend this place for food. Food is overpriced, limited and do not preserve the authenticity of the food itself taste wise. Will say, take photographs outside and leave, that's more worthy. No photography allowed inside the restaurant which is unjustified to be honest. EDIT: Updating to 1 star ⭐. The foreigner lady aka the owner of this place is really rude, she insulted my friend for leaving a bad review and also commented on our upbringing, which is anti-Indian in nature. Would never come to this place again.

What a gem café in the middle of Pondi. We absolutely loved everything about this beautiful place. Vintage chic indian deco with some little gem French & Indian sculptures. The atmosphere is cool & soft, large spaces where you feel at home with enough space for your group of friends ( I saw large tables up to 14 guests outside) and small area for 2 to 6 people. The food is excellent, quality is top class, the fruit bowl was generous, fresh, the salad with grapefruit was refreshing and delicious. My children loved the croque monsieur and the crepes. We felt so grateful to have such a place in India. Best breakfast, best lunch, best brunch and best afternoon tea. The Masala chai tea was again generous with a pot for 2. Bravo to all the multilingual team working hard in the background.

An okay experience at Cafe des arts. The food was decent, but nothing extraordinary. Service was fine, although it could be more attentive. All the staffs were showing over attitude towards their customers. Overall, a decent option if you're in the area, but there are better choices available.

The Coromandel Cafe is an upscale eatery that offers a charming atmosphere and locally sourced ingredients. Housed in a historical French colonial villa, the cafe serves a fusion of French and Italian cuisine with dishes like green chilli, curry leaf, and goats cheese tortellini or spicy grilled prawns. The cafe also offers freshly baked pastries and a variety of dining options from traditional French steak to warm croissants or pain au chocolat for breakfast.
Visited The Coromandel Café in Pondicherry and absolutely loved the place! The café has a beautiful vibe — calm, green, and prettily done interiors that make it perfect for a relaxed meal. The service was friendly, and the food was served on time despite the café being quite busy. I started with the Pesto Chicken Pizza, which had a thin and crispy base with a generous layer of fresh pesto and tender chicken pieces. The flavors were light and refreshing — perfect if you enjoy something herby and not too heavy. Next came the Mac and Cheese, and this was the star of the meal! Creamy, cheesy, and baked just right, it had that perfect comfort food feel. Easily one of the best mac and cheese dishes I’ve had anywhere — worth visiting the café just for this. The Tandoori Spiced Butter Chicken was a nice Indian twist in a continental setting. The chicken was well-cooked, mildly spiced, and went perfectly with the creamy butter curry and rice. A good balance of flavor and presentation. Finally, the Spicy Chicken Burger had a juicy patty and fresh veggies. It was quite tasty and filling. Overall, The Coromandel Café offers a great mix of ambiance, flavor, and quality. Prices are slightly premium, but the experience makes it worth it!

I think this place is living upto it's hype. You look for any youtube travel channel or any other social media about pondicherry, this place features. We went there after lunch for desert and coffee, it was full but they are well organised. They called us after 15-20 mins wait. The ambience is cool with trees in the middle and seating is pretty nice. We ordered pista cake, apple pie and a Capachino.it took some time but not that too much. We liked everything thing. This place is a must visit - for whatever time. Lunch/Dinner/coffee, it works for everything. Menu is extensive!!

Coromandel Café, White Town — every corner here is pure aesthetic and perfect for photos! The café has multiple sections — a lovely outdoor area with plants, cozy indoor seating with a restaurant vibe, and an upstairs space with a vintage café feel. Each corner has its own unique charm. We had a great experience here! The food was amazing — we tried the Mediterranean Pizza (so good, especially with the Greek dip!) and the Mason & Co Chunky Blondie. The blondie was nice, though I wish it was a bit softer. The pizza, however, was absolutely perfect. The service was good, and overall, I was really impressed by the café’s aesthetic and warm vibe.

Incredibly difficult to find a spot. Would recommend making a reservation, otherwise, be prepared to wait for a table. Old-world, mansion-style lighting and decor greet you inside. We ordered the pork chops, grilled fish, and a grilled pineapple and chicken salad. Variety of dishes is somewhat limited, but the food is good and service is very prompt.

Terrific ambience and super fast service. Loved the vibe at the cafe especially the outdoor seating area. Coming to the food, I ordered a crispy aubergine roll which I expected would be good but didn't have much taste and the sauce served with it was a little too tangy. The caramelized onion and goat cheese pizza was fantastic and had the perfect balance in taste and uniform spread of ingredients. The dough was well fermented, airy and crispy which made the pizza very enjoyable. Though a little pricey, I would rate it a 4/5 on the food and 5/5 on service and atmosphere!

A very famous restaurant in Pondi. One can give it a try if they have the patience to wait. Ambience is great with both indoor and outdoor seating. The washrooms were well decorated and clean. Food is tasty but a bit pricey. Chocolate macchiato is a must try if you love coffee. Service is a bit slow.

Good French cafe which has a beautiful interiors coupled with trees around, there is a bakery. You get only Jain pizza if you are a Jain. They have a whole variety of menu catered to veg and non veg dishes. Coffee was good. Nutella donut esp for kids. Good place to hangout.

The best place to sit back, chill, and truly spend quality time with your loved ones. Whether it’s a lazy brunch, a quiet coffee, or a romantic dinner, this spot delivers it all. The setting gives off absolute French vibes — elegant, lush, and full of character — and the taste lives up to it. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted and deliciously plated. ✨ A must-visit if you’re looking to soak in the charm of White Town in style. Go for it. You’ll thank yourself later.

Located in the French Quarter of Pondicherry, near notable landmarks like the Police headquarters and church Eglise Notre-Dame des Anges, The Indian Kaffe Express (TIKE) is a charming and inviting restaurant. The menu features a fusion of Indian fast food from cities like Kolkata, Mumbai, and Delhi alongside European-inspired dishes such as couscous salad and crepes.
Had an amazing evening here. Ordered a bunch of stuff, and I'd say Nutella Waffles and Pancakes were very good. The service was very quick, and the staff were very friendly. It also had a nice quiet ambience, which matches the vibe of the White Town.

I recently visited Indian Kaffe in Pondicherry, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The food was absolutely delightful, with a variety of flavorful Indian dishes that truly stood out. Each dish was fresh and well-prepared, with the right blend of spices that left a lasting impression. The ambience of the restaurant was equally enjoyable. The decor was cozy and inviting, providing a relaxing atmosphere perfect for a casual meal or a night out with friends. It had a nice balance of traditional and modern touches, which added to its charm. However, the one downside was the service. While the staff was friendly, the service was a bit slow, which affected the overall dining experience. It seemed like there were delays in bringing the food to the table, and the waiting time between courses was longer than expected. Despite the slow service, the quality of the food and the inviting atmosphere made it a worthwhile visit. I would definitely recommend Indian Kaffe for anyone visiting Pondicherry, as long as you're not in a hurry!

Visited Indian Kaffee Express after seeing on Instagram, one of must visit places for breakfast. The ambience of the place was good. We ordered for Chilli cheese toast which was amazing and tasted delicious. French toast looked lovely as in the seen the pics which was served with some salads and french fries but sadly the French toast didn’t taste good. The bread wasn’t soaked in properly, it was dry from inside. The manager spoke to us and he was kind enough to give us discount for 2 French toast and also took the feedback positively. We have definitely tried much better French toasts than this place as the manager said we were the first ones to complaint about this. Rest of things like French fries, salad and chilli cheese toast was good.

We have been coming to this place for years, but sadly the standards seems to have declined gradually over time. The interiors are still pleasant. The food though visually appealing, misses the mark taste - wise. We ordered the English breakfast, Kafe Mocha, Mushroom Omlette, French toast and Waffle with ice cream n Nutella. Kafe Mocha was the only highlight. English breakfast was decent. The rest of the food was a disappointment. Mushroom omelette wasn’t fluffy and had uneven salt - some bites were too salty to eat. Both the flavour and texture seemed off. The waffle was chewy and slightly burnt on one side. And the spread didn’t taste like Nutella, more like a cheaper version. The French toast was an utter disaster. It was neither soft nor moist like a French toast should be. Also I fail to understand why every dish including the English breakfast came with a side of French Fries. It felt unnecessary and out of place. The washroom was under maintenance and the hand wash area wasn’t clean. Overall, a totally underwhelming experience and we do not see ourselves returning.

Have been visiting this place since 2015 on an annual basis, and over the last few visits there has been a sharp decline in quality. Ordered English BF, mushroom omelette, waffles with Nutella and French toast. The omelette was slightly burnt and salty in bits, Nutella was substituted with some cheaper product, and the French toast was not properly soaked. Also why add cheap fries and peanuts to every dish? The place also lacks proper upkeep, with wash area being outright dirty. This was once our favourite spot for breakfast in Pondy - sadly those days seem firmly in the past.

We went for breakfast. Ordered an English breakfast and open toast sour dough mushroom sandwich. The food tasted good. Quantity and quality worth the money. The service was slow. They gave us the English breakfast first which was for my husband. He had almost finished eating his dish and my dish had still not come! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Our visit to Bread & Chocolate in Pondicherry was an absolutely memorable experience and one that we would happily recommend to anyone visiting the city. We went there for dinner with friends, and from the ambiance to the food, everything hit the right note. The café has a warm and inviting vibe with minimalistic decor and a charming, European café-style aesthetic. Despite being crowded and busy, especially during peak season, the place didn’t lose its cozy feel. There was a long queue, and we had to wait for more than 40 minutes to get a table — but honestly, it was worth the wait. We tried a variety of items and were thoroughly impressed. The sandwiches were absolutely delicious, made with fresh ingredients and presented beautifully — true to authentic French-style café food. The sourdough pizza was another highlight; the crust was perfectly baked, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. And of course, we couldn’t leave without trying their coffee, which was rich, well-balanced, and a perfect complement to the meal. The staff were polite, attentive, and well-organized, managing the crowd quite efficiently. Despite the rush, the service was smooth, and we were made to feel welcome throughout. Overall, Bread & Chocolate is a must-visit café in Pondicherry. Whether you're a fan of artisanal bread, great coffee, or simply love a relaxed, charming setting to enjoy a good meal, this café ticks all the boxes. Just keep in mind that during peak hours or tourist season, it does get very crowded — but if you're patient, the food and experience more than make up for the wait. We left happy, full, and already planning our next visit!

The cafe is located on roofed on the first floor, light music and the cool breeze made up for a great ambiance. This is Cozy Spot for who loves Continental Food. We ordered below dishes; MOROCCAN CHICKEN TARTINE - Bread with chicken and veggies along with their special sauce. CROISSANT - Croissants were baked to perfection, with the perfect crunch outside and tenderness inside. CAPPUCCINO - It was a perfect cappuccino. SPANISH LATTE - All the items were delicious. What really makes the experience stand out is the staff - welcoming staff with attentive polite nature. I recommend this place for those who are looking for relaxing dining experience with great and calm company.

They have two branches — one in Auroville and one in White Town, Pondicherry. The White Town one has a better vibe, bigger space, and feels like a proper café. Since it’s a tourist spot, you might have to wait around 30 minutes or more, but the service is good and everything’s freshly made. I tried their Tropical Smoothie Bowl — totally worth the hype, super yummy! My friend loved her order too. Overall, a really nice experience.

Too good a place. Very mild music played so could work comfortably too .food is tasty , fresh and the staffs give good recommendations or suggestions for selection. But priced on a higher side. Just a simple sandwich coats close to 400 rs . Quality of the Restroom can be improved.

I first visited Bread and Chocolate when it had just opened, and back then the ambience felt spacious and pleasant. Over time, especially on weekends, the place has become quite congested. It seems they have added more seating to manage the growing crowd, which has slightly reduced the earlier charm of the space. That said, the food remains excellent in taste , consistently flavorful and fresh. However, the portion sizes feel on the smaller side compared to the price, which could be improved. Service is commendable; even during a busy weekend visit, we didn’t have to wait long for our order, and the staff managed the crowd efficiently. Overall: A great spot for quality food with reliable service, but be prepared for a crowded ambience on weekends

Had a great experience at Bread & Chocolate! The food was outstanding—especially the sourdough pizza, which was perfectly baked with a rich, tangy crust and fresh toppings. Every bite was a treat. The service was equally impressive. Staff were attentive, friendly, and quick to offer helpful suggestions. Whether you're stopping by for a full meal or just a pastry and coffee, they make you feel welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Pondicherry who appreciates good food and warm hospitality.

This is a stylish place for a western style breakfast. We enjoyed ours here. The meals were well presented and tasty. The coffee was excellent too. The only downside is their failure to coordinate the arrival of meals at the table. Two times in a row my meal came after my three companions had finished their meals!

This sweet and bakery shop in Pondicherry is a gem for those with a sweet tooth! The variety of sweets and pastries available are delicious and of high quality. However, one area for improvement would be the lack of seating space for customers to enjoy their purchases on-site. Despite this, the shop's offerings make it a great place to grab a quick treat or take some goodies back home. With a bit of expansion or rearrangement, this shop could become an even more delightful experience for customers.

The best brownie spot in the white town. Not just Brownies, must try their chocolates, pastries, ice creams, cakes for occasions and hot chocolates🔥 Good service. Not enough place to sit and eat so to go is the best option or you can get it in paper plates to eat and wander in the streets with your friends. 10/10 for the varieties of brownies ✅✅✅✅

I had dinner at Rendezvous Café during my Pondicherry trip, and it was a lovely experience. The ambiance was open, breezy, and perfect for a relaxed evening.

A classic rooftop restaurant, pasta spaghetti were nice . Of course prices were of Bangalore levels. But for a tourist place probably justified .. dishes one have to serve themselves.. beware lift wasn't functional.

Small cute cafe in the middle of Suffren street white town. We wanted some good English breakfast on Sunday morning and we reached here. The menu was looking attractive , we had one english breakfast and one american breakfast. My English breakfast had a half baked potato and bacon strips were bad. The hash brown 🤧 my god again half cooked and idk what it was made of actually we were wondering if it was cabbage or potato for a second. Taste was okayish not too bad i would say. We had also asked for a Mushroom sandwich which was good 💯 The Ambience was good overall but I am not really sure if i would recommend this place for a good English breakfast sorry 😅

Good Food but Slow Service at Surguru Restaurant.. My dining experience at Surguru Restaurant in Puducherry is of mixed feelings. On one hand, the food was truly delicious and well-prepared. The flavors were delightful, and the presentation was impressive. Each dish we tried was a treat for the taste buds. However, the service left much to be desired. Despite the great food, the slow service dampened our overall experience. We had to wait quite a while for our orders to be taken and then for the food to arrive. It was evident that the staff were overwhelmed and could benefit from better management or additional help. Overall, if you have the patience to endure the wait, the food at Surguru Restaurant is worth trying. I hope they address the service issues to make the dining experience even better.

Great lunch for vegetarian. An old house reformed into a restaurant. Luckily I got the table once I entered and normally it looks like there will be a 10-15 mins waiting time during weekends.

The alleyway leading to the restaurant is very nice too, I can see why other people have included pictures in their reviews. The room itself is soulless, bland colours on the walls, no atmosphere. It felt a bit sad and beige. Some colours would be great. The tables are arranged like in a school (or prison) canteen. But the food is well worth it.

Located in Pondicherry, Le Café is a waterfront café with a rich history. Originally built as a Port Office in 1790, it later transformed into a charming café after the destruction of the pier due to a cyclone in 1952. Situated on Rock Beach, this government-operated café operates 24/7 and offers stunning views of the Bay of Bengal.
I visited Le Cafe on a quiet Sunday late afternoon when it was mostly empty, offering a peaceful dining atmosphere. The cafe boasts a spectacular view of the sea, allowing diners to enjoy their meals with the serene backdrop of the ocean right up close. I ordered the chicken sandwich, priced around 300, and a refreshing lime soda for 75. Both items were delightful—flavorful and satisfying. The combination of good food and the tranquil seaside view made for an enjoyable experience. Le Cafe is a great spot for those seeking tasty food in a calm setting with stunning sea views.

Le Café in White Town, Puducherry, is a charming spot that feels like a paradise for anyone who loves to sip coffee by the sea. With the refreshing sea breeze, warm sunlight, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filling the air, the ambiance is simply magical. Watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee here is an unforgettable experience. The food and beverages served are of excellent quality. From coffee, pasta, and pastries to delicious sandwiches, everything is prepared to delight the taste buds. The menu beautifully blends local flavors with international standards, making it unique. Adding to this, the friendly staff and their warm hospitality make the visit even more pleasant. What makes Le Café truly special is its natural setting and serene atmosphere. Sitting by the beach, listening to the sound of the waves while enjoying a cup of coffee, offers a rare sense of peace. For both travelers and locals, this café creates memories that are bound to last a lifetime. K.vinothkumar

Visited this cafe in the evening for some good coffee and snacks. The coffee was too good here which was filled pro the brim of the cup. The chicken sandwich too amazing with the sea view but sadly we visited after the sunset and hence could enjoy the sound of waves along the food. The Cold Coffee too was amazing. The apple cart tasted fine. This restaurant is open 24/7 serving food right beside the Gandhi Statue. You can always stroll through the beach. It’s self service here.

Le Café in Pondicherry offers a lovely location right by the beach, perfect for enjoying the sea breeze with a cup of coffee. The view is unbeatable, and it’s a great spot to relax. However, the service could be a bit more attentive, and the food was a little underwhelming for the price. It’s still a nice place to visit, especially for the vibe and the view, but could use some improvements in the overall experience.

The food is not good. Honestly, the burger tastes like a 50 rs burger. The fries are really bad. The cheesecake is not fresh; it already settled. Check out the image for reference. The mocaccino is not really a mocaccino. People come here to take photos from the roof. The food is really overpriced, and the kitchen hygiene is average. The burger had raw capsicum in it, like cold stuff.

I recently visited Cafe Ole and had a great experience. I absolutely loved their Dark and Dense Hot Chocolate—it's rich and flavorful, perfect for anyone who enjoys a serious hot chocolate. The Belgium Hot Chocolate was also very nice, a smoother and milder option if you prefer something less intense. While the collection of drinks is a bit small, the quality is excellent. It's definitely a place to try if you're in the mood for a great hot chocolate.

It's perfect. Chocolate croissant - 3.5/5 - it was ok. I think I prefer it when it's flaky. Please order any one croissant & dip it in your hot chocolate for the perfect bite!

Good Food, Calm Atmosphere – But Disappointing Reception Experience The restaurant offers a pleasant, calm atmosphere and the food was truly enjoyable. All the servers were courteous, passionate, and served with a smile, which made the dining experience memorable. However, the attitude of the reception staff was disappointing and felt unnecessarily rude. It seemed like we, being somewhat like locals from the neighboring state of Kerala, were not treated with the same warmth shown to foreign guests. There appeared to be a clear bias in how customers were welcomed. Despite this, the quality of the food and the service from the floor staff were commendable. With better hospitality at the front desk, this place could offer a truly exceptional experience.

It's a great cafe in case of ambience. But as their food looks exotic and delicious in photos, it tastes exact opposite. I tried Veg baguette sandwich, tofu sandwich and chicken baguette sandwich. They looked very amazing and was fresh with lots of cheese. But they tasted very Bland, they had no taste at all. I only could taste the veggies in them. The cheese had no taste.. The bread also wasn't great. It was a very plain sandwich with no sauces, nothing that's why it tasted very much Bland. Other than this the juices were great and the Croissant was great. Don't expect very great taste by looking at pictures. Great place to chill with friends.

We ordered Chicken Masala Rice Meals and Chicken Biryani. The Biryani was good, but it costs more than ₹250. The Non-Veg Rice Meals, however, are not at all worth the price. It costs around ₹290, and they served only 3 small chicken pieces, out of which 2 were just bones. The rest of the meal was just rice, rasam, curd, pappad, one poriyal, and an egg.

The place is a bit dank though, it’s not that airy although it was clean. The food was served real quick and was hot. There are not many sweet or drinks options.

I loved the food here. I tried their mutton biryani,chicken 65 biryani,pirattal rice,fish starter combo and chicken starter combo. I liked the mutton biryani but two of my friends like the pirattal rice more. But all of us found fish starter far far better than chicken starter.

One of the best briyani i ever had. Also chicken 65 starter was too good. Highly recommended place in Pondicherry to try local cuisine.

Food was good for non veg lovers. There are some niggles like hard meat. No dessert available in dine in area. No veg options. Faced severe food poisoning on same day. Not sure if it is this hotel food. But I will not be going back here again.

The gastropub DisDis & Co offers a great atmosphere and wonderful food. The Mocktail chiller called Wow Dis Dis is refreshing. Wheelchair accessible, free wifi and reservations are available. The outdoor seating is perfect for a summer night out. The full bar offers wine and beer, as well as cocktails, and the menu includes items such as grilled chicken, risotto and more.
Disdis had an airy and amazing ambiance, bar, lounge etc. You can eat out in the open or under a roof. Food varieties, presentation, taste are top notch! Has a long list of cocktails, Mocktails, beer in the menu, you must try their salad, pasta and kebab even if you are a non-veggie. Liquor bill was given separately since it doesn't attract GST. Well lit, maintained, spaced out tables, chairs were comfortable, feeling up-market and cozy. Dinner was sumptuous, some say it's pricey, but taste of the food won't let you down. RS.700/pax (without liquor and for veg menu). Will visit again hungry for more! Like my review and photos #deejandveej👍🙏 Thanks

Risotto was really nice and grilled chicken was also pretty flavour full. The Mocktail chiller called Wow Dis Dis , which was their signature drink was also refreshing. You can give a try to Dis Dis & co. and enjoy the great ambience and serenity of the place 🙂

Simply amazing hospitality, makes u feel at home, especially with the lovely music to go along with some lip smacking food. Loved the French fries, prepares to perfection, the range of drinks too is good. Prices are on the higher side, but well worth the experience. They organizers live music nights and performances, that's the main highlight for a fun evening in the heart of White Town. Pick from a choice of outdoor airy seating or indoor seating lit up by warm yellow lamps. It's a treat to the eyes and to your palate, not to mention a soul-warming one.

Artika Cafe Gallery is a charming venue located in an old French house on Rue Labourdonnais in Pondicherry. The cafe offers a casual menu and a relaxed seating area under the shade of trees, creating a tranquil atmosphere. In addition to showcasing quirky art and fashion, there's also a boutique on the premises for visitors to explore. The cafe provides quick and warm service, with options for light bites, juices, and coffee.
The real joy of having French cuisine in an atmosphere far from France yet designed to perfection is here. Pondicherry being a nestled city, quite small in it's length and breadth on the map, Artika Cafe Gallery is a cosy option for a wide spread Sunday brunch with family and friends. The options listed on the menu are so refreshing and healthy for the hunger pangs. We had been here on the Easter breakfast, placed the order as follows : MiniMe, Kombo breakfast, Artika's CoCo, Chicken cheese Croissant sandwich and two scrambled eggs. For me the show stealer were, Chicken cheese Croissant sandwich, where the croissant is so soft and melts into the mouth with first bite. Artika's CoCo is as refreshing as any other drink during summers. The quality and quantity was sufficient for 5 of us. I would highly recommend those visiting Pondi to pick it as your next destination for breakfast / brunch. Though the items seem a bit expensive but it would be reasonable to the other French breakfast outlets in the smart city. Felt so blessed and contented on this holy day.

Seems to have taken a dive of late, no photographic or other hung art apparent, the walls murals remain however. The place appears generally unkempt. At 10:45am some tables hadn't been relieved of tree leaf droppings and other debris. Side tables were visibly sticky and I didn't want to put my hat down on the one nearest to me. We had the Mini Mi breakfast of croissant (with butter and jam) juice (the default was watermelon but we requested and got orange juice) and coffee with or without hot milk (the sort that leaves a protective coffee milk skin on the surface of the drink. The croissants were really nice, warmed and authentic. The mystery jam was also nice, although we couldn't decide what fruit, if any, it was. The coffee was unremarkable. Service was cursory and on the edge of surly; we thought perhaps the chap had been trained in Paris for the authentic French experience. We were also watched, albeit from a distance, by the same chap seated on the verandah at right angles to us. At Rp220 each this respresented good value, it was very quiet, and leafy, but not really what was expected from some of the reviews which raved exceptionality.

Had breakfast here and oh boy, WHAT AMAZING BREAKFAST. We had an english plate which was so so delicious and very abundant in quantity as per the price of it. A MUST TRY FOR ANYONE VISITING. And had a sandwich which was scrumptious too. The french toast of the english breakfast was a cherry on top, finger licking good. The staff were EXTREMELY SWEET, warm and welcoming. The service was beyond perfect. Also, the cafe has a beautiful location, roadside, surrounded by Bougainville.

Quaint little cafe set on a quiet street serving delicious food! Went here upon a recommendation by the chef at Chez Artizan. The place is run by women coming from vulnerable local communities. I ordered some French toast with Beetroot detox juice and a croissant just for sampling. Everything was quite delicious! Though the croissants at Baker Street might have an edge over these. I was greatly impressed with the idea of having the place run by local women trained in French baking arts. Remarkably noble venture! The seating is upstairs and is quite rustic. The staff is extremely polite and courteous. Definitely worth trying!

On my visit to pondicherry this is one of the cafes that I have visited. In one look, fell in love with it's aesthetic ambience. I had breakfast from here, ordered fruity pancakes with maple syrup. The pancakes were super fluffy like clouds and the fruits and powdered sugar garnished over the pancakes were simply additional goodness to it. I recommend this place to all people who are in to small, aesthetic cafes, were you can dine in outside. This is the right place for you.

Service is damn good, but has limited menu to opt from, place is innovative. You have terrace seating (roof top) but not open, it’s the hut roof. The view from the cafe is good. Quality of the food is good, though the quantity is less for the price that is paid. But coffee isn’t that great. Give a try to taste cakes. Menu isn’t that special

One of the best shop in Pondy and even they have branches in Chennai.. Their all day continental breakfast is too good.. Which I personally loved it so much and suggest everyone to try it as well.. Worth each and every penny.. We had sandwich as well that too tasted very good.. Must visit if you are in Pondy.. Should try their cold pressed juice as well.. Ambiance and Staff was also so friendly..

I got to know about this place from Google so i thought I’ll visit as it has so many good reviews. I want disappointment. To locate its kinda inbtw the houses and no much light so. But it’s quite a big place. Coming to the food . Smoothies were great and they make it out fresh so healthy. We had ordered burgers which tasted just okay, English breakfast tasted good but the quantity was less. And a fruit medley which had all sorts of fruits and was good. I would recommend the place for their healthy smoothies.

Situated on the Sri Aurobindo street in white town is this smoothie bar has many options available for smoothies shakes and sandwiches, they make juices and smoothies based on seasonal fruits which makes it a healthier choice. We visited the place during noon and placed our order for a banana nut smoothie which they make with whole milk and not yogurt. You can also choose to customize your own drink as per your choice or try out something from their existing menu. They give smoothies in glass bottles which are good if you wish for a takeaway. The taste of our smoothies was average but the drink is expensive as compared to street side juice and shakes outlets for two drinks.We shelled out 265 rupees which i felt was not worth it.

Visited this cafe while on our trip to Puducherry according to best veg options available in the town and it really stands right up to its reputation. I am here just to add my words to the same. We ordered 3 items - French fries, Pizza and a Soup. Food here was finger licking good, no other way to put it. On top of that good food, their preparation of any order is always fresh which reflects in the taste as well. The only cons that I felt was prep time was too high, literally we spent 100+ minutes here just for these three items. However, they make it up to you by the quality of food and the taste they bring to the table. Wood fired Pizza was very tasty. Herbed/Spiced Mayo dip with french fries was real nice as well.

Hope Café offers a charming spot with a nice range of veggie‑centric options and a pleasing setting. If you visit, there’s a high chance you’ll enjoy their smoothie bowl, croissants, hot chocolate, and cozy vibe. However, if you’re aiming for a fully vegan meal or quick service at peak times, check availability or consider dropping in off‑hours.

Visited Hope’s Café around brunch time. The plan was to try their breakfast menu, but since we reached post 12 PM, only lunch options were available. Ambience: The place has a fantastic vibe — bright, aesthetic, and perfect for Instagram or Facebook photos. There’s also an outside aisle with colorful wall art, great for pictures. Hygiene: The café was neat and tidy, with clean plates and a well-maintained seating area. I’d rate hygiene 4/5. What we ordered: ABC Juice (Apple, Beetroot, Carrot): Fresh and good in taste. Pasta: Quality was okay, but the portion size was quite small for the price — definitely on the expensive side for the quantity served. Croissant: Tasty but a bit too oily for our liking. Burger: Decent portion size, good taste, and fairly priced. Overall: The management was polite and service was smooth. I’d recommend visiting during breakfast hours — their morning menu looks more appealing. A nice café mainly for good vibes, photos, and a light meal rather than a full lunch.

All famous options from Insta and reviews being packed up ?.... Blindly come to this spot. I guarantee. Service and best food at its best Must try : Fire wood Pizzas ( Earth was so flavourful - thin crust - That cheese I could feel not so heavy but doing it's work in bringing best flavours) Love pastas ? : Go for Pumpkin Pasta - I bet you will get extra slices of garlic bread to get that last bit of the sauce. Going in evenings ? - They have rooftop open tables.

Tried the woodfired sourdough tandoori paneer pizza at Hope Cafe, extremely dry and hard like a rock. Worst pizza experience I’ve had.

Firstly this place is located in an Alley type street which requires you to park the car elsewhere and walk here. The ambience is a bit bland with no life. The staff were courteous, but the good was bad. The Pizza was like some ROTI and filling in top. Don't even try their bologenese of risotto, it had diced tomato in onion for crying out loud. Overall it leaves such a bad taste that we were apprehensive to try continental again in the city. Branch owner of this place, please do a quality check or comparison with your place in Auroville which is doing great.

Surguru is a popular vegetarian restaurant in Pondicherry, offering a refreshing break from the city's usual Continental cuisine. With multiple locations across the city, including a compact spot on Jawaharlal Nehru Street and an elegant branch on Mission Street, Surguru is known for serving some of the best dosas in town. The menu features South Indian staples like crispy dosas and sambar vada, with an array of dosa fillings that keep visitors coming back for more.
I recently had a very good experience at Surguru, largely due to the excellent food and service. I started my meal with the Mushroom Soup, which I found to be quite average—it was a simple soup with mushrooms, but lacked any memorable flavor. However, the Mushroom 65 was a fantastic starter. It was incredibly tasty and tangy, and I really enjoyed it. For the main course, I tried two of their specialties. The Chilli Parota is a must-have; it's a special item at this restaurant with a great, distinctive flavor. The Paneer Masala Dosa was also a standout. It's a large dosa stuffed with a delicious paneer butter masala filling, and the portion was quite generous and filling. While the service itself was excellent and the wait time for the food was minimal, I did notice that the ordered items arrived randomly rather than in a logical sequence like soup followed by starters and then the main course. This was a minor point, but it's worth noting. Despite that small issue, the overall dining experience was very positive. The food was delicious, and the staff was attentive. I would definitely recommend Surguru and look forward to returning soon.

Extremely disappointing experience. The manager, Mr. Prakash, was completely uncooperative and unwilling to understand the issue. We had ordered Reshmi Paneer Tikka from the main course sabji section, but were served it as a starter. When we questioned how a starter could be listed under the main course heading, he kept denying it instead of acknowledging the confusion. Things only got worse: • Salad was served midway through the meal, instead of at the beginning. • When we ordered the main course, no plates or cutlery were provided. The sabji sat on the table for over 5 minutes while we repeatedly requested basic items like plates and spoons. • Only after asking multiple times did we receive spoons, that too without plates. Overall, the service was completely unprofessional, disorganized, and far from what one would expect from a decent restaurant. Definitely not recommended.

The restaurant is designed with an Egyptian aesthetic, and this theme carries through to the menu, making it quite unique in India. It’s located on the ‘beach’ road of White Town, meaning you can reach the sea in just about 3 minutes from the restaurant. It’s also the only pet-friendly restaurant we found that actually provided a feeding bowl for my dogs — a thoughtful touch. Service was excellent; the staff even moved a few large fans to make our seating more comfortable. The food was a solid 4/5 — enjoyable, but with a little room for improvement.

Located in white town. The place serves good food, flavourful and has good menu options. Prices are on the expensive side and finding a parking spot is a task. Recommend the crab soup, lasagna, fried calamari.

I recently visited THE SPOT Café on Beach House Road in Pondicherry, and overall, it was a pleasant experience with a few points worth noting. The location is great, offering a nice and relaxing atmosphere. The ambience is warm, inviting, and well-designed, making it a good spot to unwind. In terms of food and drinks, the Guava Spicy Mocktail was a refreshing choice with just the right kick of spice, while the Orange Juice tasted fresh and well-balanced. Among the dishes, the Chicken Grill stood out for its smoky aroma and tender, juicy texture. The Fish Curry was also impressive—flavorful, rich, and cooked to perfection, capturing the local coastal taste beautifully. However, the prices felt slightly on the higher side compared to portion sizes. Another aspect that could improve the experience is the smoking area. Currently, the smoke from the designated zone drifts into the main seating space, which can be uncomfortable for non-smokers. Placing the smoking zone a little farther away would make the ambience much more enjoyable for everyone. Overall, THE SPOT Café has great food, lovely ambience, and good service, and with a few tweaks, it could be even better.

La Maison Rose is a charming colonial-style restaurant that offers French and European cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. The peaceful terrace seating provides an ideal setting for enjoying freshly made desserts, juices, cocktails, small bites, or a cup of coffee under the shade of old trees. In the evenings, the warm yellow lights create a romantic ambiance reminiscent of charming cafes in France.
Beautiful villa with a peaceful garden and lovely interiors. The food is delicious and the cakes are sooo good that we had to come back the following day - the best cheesecake with pistachio kulfi flavour. Great atmosphere.

The cafe offers a wonderful ambiance with great music, creating a relaxing atmosphere. However, the food was just average, and the service was disappointingly slow, as the waiter took a long time to take our order

The restaurant has a lovely ambience and modern design, perfect for casual dining or a relaxed evening out. I had their steak (medium rare, I believe)—juicy and well-seasoned, definitely enjoyable. It’s a popular spot and usually crowded, so I’d recommend booking a table in advance. A solid choice for both food and vibe.

Beautiful cafe. Good vibes. Limited vegetarian options but excellent desserts. Tried the Lebanese platter which was excellent. Service isn't the best as the place is always crowded and staff has a tough time managing it.

One of the most horrible places to have your meal in Pondicherry. Food is burnt, cold and not worth the hype. Don't get blinded by the photos you find on the internet. Cherry on the cake is their service, one of the worst experience you will have in your entire life.

A beautiful scenic cafe located in the heart of pondicherry . Surrounded by lush greenery this place offers a scenic view to enjoy . You can discover hints of French architecture here and stunning shades of white . Brimmed with variety of European and Indian food this place has a lot to offer. It has an aesthetic decor and is a very instagrammable place . The place has its own charm and won't fail to mesmerise you This said , the place gets pretty crowded and it's hard to find a seat in the rush hour therefore take your time and visit this place . Felt like they could improve their customer service a bit which would further elevate the place Coming to food , we tried the pizza which was pretty good and authentic and filling . Didn't like the desert much and felt it was pretty overpriced Overall the place would be considered a high end one from the cost of a basic coffee to a full meal This place is also known as coromandel cafe .

Dessert restaurant
Nestled in the vibrant Bay Shore Plaza of Puducherry, Waffle Cart is a delightful spot that specializes in fast food and Chinese cuisine, complemented by an array of refreshing cold drinks. This charming eatery is perfect for enhancing your special occasions with its delectable offerings. While primarily focused on fast food, Waffle Cart also serves up a variety of quick snacks ideal for those on the go. Even if you're not typically drawn to sweets, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised by their treats.
We had the brownie chocoloaded waffle and Oreo obsession waffle, both of which were absolutely delicious. The added ice cream on top really elevated the flavor. Seating is limited to a bench outside the shop, but it was a pleasant experience overall. The parking situation was manageable, and the ambiance was nice too. If you’re not concerned about the budget, I’d recommend trying one of their exotic flavors. Overall, I’d rate the experience 9/10 for the portions, great taste, pleasant ambiance, and quick service

Waffle cart is located inside the town, the seatings are outside and limited, otherwise you have to stand and have your waffle 🧇 . Pretty crowded during the weekends. Waffle 🧇 are really delicious and they're not pricey. If you guys have really sweet tooth then this is the right place.

If you find yourself in Pondicherry, make sure to stop by Cafe Eniteo, a delightful gem nestled in White Town. This charming cafe offers an inviting atmosphere with its elegant yet simple decor, especially in the basement area. Although I missed out on sitting downstairs due to maintenance, the upstairs seating was equally pleasant. The menu is a culinary adventure; I savored dishes like Cajun Chicken Croissant and Pizza Verdure that were nothing short of amazing!
Loved the food, ambiance and service. We got grilled chicken steak, ultimate chicken burger and BBQ chicken pizza! All 3 were absolutely delicious! Reasonable price! For sure one of the best cafes in white town.

I truly wonder how cafes like this are getting 4+ star ratings? We landed in this small cafe in the heart of French quarter for lunch, saw it was empty except for a couple at a table & placed our orders. We were told it would take 30 minutes to prepare sandwiches & veg burgers. Apparently, they only have one cook & limited staff. After a fairly lengthy wait, our food arrived. Looking at how it was presented put us off. If it tasted great, we’d have forgiven how it looked but the taste was so mediocre. Does Pondicherry not have any decent cafes?

Exceptionally good cafe. We visited there for a brunch. Ordered Pizza, Burger, Sandwich, Eggs on Crossaint and Veg Lasgna. All food items were five star. We also ordered some coolers and a hazelnut brownie in the end. The delivery is quick and ambience is soothing.

Love the basement area of this cafe. It is simple yet very elegant. It is a relatively new cafe so we were a bit weary, but every dish we tried was superb. We ordered the crepes, pancakes and tartines. Honestly, it was wholesome and delicious. The service is quick and the staff are friendly and polite. I absolutely love the acoustic music they play, nice enough to hold up a conversation and sing along a bit :p Thank you Eniteo and we wish you the very best of luck :)

La Crepe is a delightful haven for crepe enthusiasts, redefining your expectations of this beloved dish. While many envision sweet treats drizzled with Nutella and adorned with banana slices, La Crepe invites you to explore the savory side of crepes. With a commitment to authenticity reminiscent of Brittany, the restaurant offers an array of galettes made from buckwheat or ragi, featuring mouthwatering combinations like ham and cheese or pesto and tomato.
La Crepe is finest authentic place to have all your crepe cravings sorted. Absolutely loved the place with wonderful ambience showcasing the local history and ancient touch. The staff were extremely friendly and conversational. They made sure we tried the signature crepes and everything we had were mouth watering. The shrimp crepe (yatina if I recall correctly) was super delicious and won our hearts. Followed by Molene crepe, the signature homemade pesto basil and tomatoes. And, the lorient crepe was equally outstanding. They very beautifully serve all crepe with handful of salad and vinaigrette. If you're in pondicherry, do not miss to dine at this gem of a place..

I would highly recommend this place if you are around white town for some good breakfast. Most of the cafes were crowded so we decided to go to this place and the place was empty The folks here were very courteous and everything was served with a smile. Loved the ambiance of the place and the food. Everything tasted good and it was pocket friendly as well. There could be a parking issue incase you are driving down but for 2 wheelers there's ample parking space.

Stepping into La Crepe is stepping into a warm hug. That atmosphere is friendly and inviting with soft lighting, comfortable seating, and gentle buzz of conversation. The menu is delightful with French authentic Crepes with all flavors. We tried shrimp, chicken and pesto crepes. Let me tell you it was pure magic, the crepes were are cooked to perfection with healthy buckwheat and each bite was a symphony of textures and tastes, leaving me wanting more. Overall La Crepe is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered. I highly recommend giving it a try - you won’t be disappointed.

We went for breakfast today with two families and had a great experience. The food was heavenly and the owner and staff are very hospitable. They only opened a few weeks ago therefore the interior design has not been completed yet but it already has a good vibe. A gave only 4* for service because food preparation was a little slow (one after another) but still totally worth waiting! The jams are so yummy - authentic French taste. The apple compote was my favourite!

The cafe is decorated with white walls and a large red velvet curtain. There are many beautiful French-themed paintings on the walls and the tables are covered in white cloths. The menu has a variety of dishes, all of which seem to be reasonably priced. It's definitely a place for long conversations and lingering, as the gateau au chocolat is to die for.
It's quite reasonable.

(Translated by Google) I really loved the cuisine, the dishes are well presented and have the taste of French cuisine. The price is reasonable but the café had to change its name because it is now called Café Chaplin. (Original) J'ai beaucoup adoré la cuisine, les plats sont bien présentés et ont le goût de la cuisine française. Le prix est raisonnable mais le café à du changer de nom parce qu'il s'appelle le café chaplin maintenant.
