4.3/5 (Read the Reviews)
Hidden down a quiet Dumas Street lane in Pondicherry’s White Town, Les Saveurs turns the colonial courtyard of an old villa into a pocket-sized sanctuary of Gallic-Indian cooking: think crisp-skinned duck confit glazed with jaggery and tamarind, or a silky coconut-and-curry-leaf velouté poured tableside over local crab. Service is unhurried and informed—staff will talk you through the provenance of every spice—while the short wine list leans on small-batch Loire labels that actually pair with the heat. At ₹2 000–2 500 a head it’s one of the priciier tables in town, yet the 4.3-star buzz is deserved; book ahead, ask for the candle-lit terrace, and don’t skip the warm chocolate-feni tart that closes the meal with a Goan whisper.
