Satsanga

Despite the name, Satsanga is a great little French bistro in Pondicherry. We ventured out there for lunch today (its an easy 2 hour drive along the ECR from Chennai).



The cafe boasts French and Italian food. We stuck to the French. We ordered a mushroom and spinach crepe, some roasted vegetables, chicken in a cream sauce and a chocolate crepe for dessert. The savory crepe was superb - it has been a long time since I had a good crepe after moving back to Chennai, and this was very good. The roasted vegetables were nice but nothing to write home about. My husband loved the chicken and the dessert crepe.



All in all, a very satisfying meal. The staff were pleasant and it was just great to be able to have a cold glass of Foster's at non-five star establishment and really hit the spot this warm afternoon.

In my time (the 90s) Chez Rendezvous, right next to Satsanga, was the best place in Pondicherry for French food. I've been to both places, and the best ambience though that I found was at a place called La terrace. Do try it next time.

@ Anonymous - Yes, I loved the name too. It was definitely cosy and very laid back which was nice. Thanks!

@ Raaga - I've been to Rendezvous too but so many years ago. I barely remember the food - not sure if its still around. Will definitely try terrace next time.
