    The place is great, it’s just above Jawa showroom. They’ve got two floors, rooftop and first floor. First floor can be arranged for private parties etc, seating is also available. Loved the service, it was pretty fast and the servers are very friendly and nice. The food quality was very good and the quantity as well. This is one of the few places where you get sushi. The only reason for 4 stars is the taste of a few dishes, taste can be experimented and improved upon. They serve alcohol as well. Overall a lovely experience

    It was an nice experience. Food and the service was very good. Their continental dishes are must try and tasted nice. Also, the quantity of food is enough for a person. Ambience is very nice and pleasant. Good for all type of crowds. Would highly recommend to visit this place. Service was very prompt.

    The seafood Risotto was absolutely divine! I'm usually not a risotto person but I fell in love with this one. The prawn tempura and salmon sushi was excellent too. Dessert was chocolate mousse and a citrus cake, which were light and fresh. Thoroughly enjoyed dinner! John was an absolute delight as well :)

    A must visit place when in Pondicherry. We went for lunch. The ambience was so refreshing and classy. Food was delicious and the staffs were so courteous. House made refreshing drinks was amazing. On the whole it was a memorable experience with Cafe Veloute. Thanks to the team.

    This restaurant was amazing by ambiance but a very big let down in terms of taste!! The shop was very well decorated and well maintained with a rooftop seating!! The food was just above average though 1. Main let down was they added tinned tuna to sushi roll.. Who even uses cooked fish in sushi? It had a weird taste to it... 2. The masala fried calamari was ok.. The batter wasn't crispy and felt very soggy as well 3. Seafood spaghetti was good and decent in flavor but there was too much maida and corn flour added to the sauce and it was pretty evident Overall a good place to visit but wasn't impressed by the food at all

    Walked in to this place with zero expectations and absolutely loved the experience. With rain, there was minimal seating but the staff was very accommodating and courteous. Food was delectable and I would suggest trying their French delicacies especially the lobster in white wine sauce and chicken

    We ate the beef Tenderloin and braised chicken stew with mash potatoes. The food was reasonable priced for the quality provided. The chicken was well seasoned and cooked to perfection and you taste all the herbs in the the stew. The mash potatoes was by far the best we had here. Staff was very proactive, attentive and helpful.

    We stumbled upon the place by chance, while looking for another one. The ambience, in the rooftop dining was amazing. Situated in the white town, and surrounded by all the beautiful buildings. They have various cuisines, the food was plated nicely. Loved the pana cotta. Staff was courteous. Overall a good experience.

    Cafe Veloute offers a delightful dining experience on several fronts. 1. **Nice Cosy Ambience**: The cafe exudes a warm and cosy ambience, making it the perfect place for a relaxing meal or a cup of coffee. The soft lighting and comfortable seating create a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for both solo visits and gatherings with friends or family. 2. **Excellent Food**: The highlight of Cafe Veloute has to be its exceptional food. The menu boasts a variety of delectable dishes that cater to diverse tastes. The flavors are simply outstanding, and each dish is a culinary delight. From appetizers to desserts, the quality and taste of the food are consistently impressive. 3. **Menu Availability**: While Cafe Veloute's menu is enticing, there was a minor drawback during my visit. Some dishes on the menu were not available, which was a bit disappointing. However, this is a minor hiccup in an otherwise fantastic dining experience. 4. **Friendly and Polite Staff**: The staff at Cafe Veloute deserve special mention for their friendly and polite demeanor. They are attentive to your needs and are always ready to provide recommendations or assist with any requests. Their service adds to the overall pleasant experience at the cafe. In conclusion, Cafe Veloute offers a wonderful dining experience with a lovely ambience, outstanding food, and a staff that goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. While the limited availability of certain dishes is a minor setback, the overall experience makes this cafe a great choice for a memorable meal.

    The food was ok and tasted average. But it was not French even though we ordered from the French section of the menu. We had Classic Ratatouilli, Coq au Vin and Chargrilled Tiger Prawns. For Indian we ordered Chapati n Chicken Butter Masala. Dessert was Panna Cotta.

    Really nice people! Excellent service and rhe food was fresh and spot on. The India flavor cocktails were great, if a bit salty for American taste buds but they made a perfect new batch. Such a gem in a sea of mediocre restaurants and genuine warm service with great prices. Also, nice rooftop!

    Amazing restaurant with gorgeous ambience and absolutely delicious food. I had a few days in Pondicherry but I HAD to try their dishes on two different days. If you want a relaxed, quiet place to enjoy your dinner, this is the place for ya. Couldn’t recommend more!!

  • 4/5 Shivendu S. 1 year ago on Google
    Roof top restaurant where you can enjoy watching people going down the street. Food was good but, like every other cafe in Pondicherry, costly. Staff was courteous. We went on weekday and it was almost empty. They should do something about the mosquitoes.

    Very hospitable staff Mr Sujan hosted us. We enjoyed the cold coffee, the soups were excellent. Must try the prwan bisque soup. The tender coconut ice cream as well. A quaint cafe you don't want to miss.

  • 5/5 Gemi Rachel G. 10 months ago on Google
    This was quite a nice restaurant that we visited late in the afternoon. Very friendly staff and nice seating arrangements. The food was delicious. They offer French, Indian, Thai, Japanese dishes on the menu and some more too. We tried an assortment of veg momos, tempura prawns, and a main course of lamb racks. All of it was well prepared and presented. There is no parking space available.
