The menu of French and Indian specialties is built around the freshest natural ingredients: freshly caught fish; cured ham, pâté and cheeses.

The kitchen opens on to the dining room, so guests can watch as fish and meat are grilled to order over a wood fire. The chef designs the day's menu according to his inspiration or plans it around today's best finds from the market (Pondicherry boasts one of the finest open-air markets in all of southern India).
