A place to have amazingly home style pizzas at reasonable price. A regular size pizza is a good to go for 2 people and a full meal for a single person . Any pizza and a fresh lime soda is a good combination to go with . Ambience of the place is not so great not so bad but the food is great .

Back here after 4 years. Somehow seems smaller than I remember it. The store inside definitely has a smaller selection.

The food, however, is still pretty good. The chocolate crepes went oddly well with fries. Shame I hadn't come later, or I'd have tried the pizza too.

Chez Nous is a tiny little cafe almost as if it's in a souvenir shop. Each table cannot seat more than four people and so a meal with group of friends feels like a family affair.

There are two ladies at the cafe, one who serves the food and one who prepares the food and they both speak in fluent English like most people in Pondicherry. We ordered a 4Cheese Pizza and oh my this was amazing! I felt the taste of every single cheese melting in my mouth. We all ordered Nutella Crepes and that was heavenly too.
It was a perfect Easter morning brunch.

Exactly opposite to CCD near the beach, Chez Nous is inside La Maison D'Auroville. A cozy little joint which mainly makes French food but also specializes in Wood Fired Oven pizza.

Appetizers - Multiple variants of salads, fries, the usual dig. Doesn't really have much to comment. Since there are various options in the entrée, I'd suggest you skip the appetizers.

Entrée - The pizza menu has quite a spread. From Classic Basil and Mozzarella to meat and seafood toppings.. The cheese was sublime, although the taste and thickness of the sauce and base's texture could be improved a little, the overall pizza was quite good.

Crepes - In Indian terms its a maida dosa with filling. But don't let that description ruin the option. The crepes are well cooked and have a decent amount of filling. The Cheese and egg crepe was a tad bland but that's mainly because of the lack of veggies and other ingredients which could have added to flavor.

The Nutella crepe was brilliant!

Scrambled Eggs with Bread was a bit of surprise. The eggs were scrambled with pickles, jalapeños, tomatoes, and cheese. Served with a side of bread(not toast. Bread.)the scrambled eggs were a delight.

Beverages - Carrot and Apple juice hit the spot to wrap up a good meal. Lemon juice was made to proper specifications, was more in terms of quantity.

Ambience & Service - La Maison D'Auroville doubles as a heritage store, offering a wide range of organic products, soaps, tea, handbags, bowls, plates, mugs, stickers, shirts, jewellery, fragrance sticks(agarbatti), etc. Seating is comfortable. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. Service was quick and straightforward.

Expenditure - 200+/-100
Tips - No service charges. Consider leaving a tip.

Verdict - Worth a visit considering that they make some pretty palatable French food. The pizza is definitely worth a second try.

We randomly stumbled across this place because we failed to spot Juice N Burger and hell yeah we are impressed. The décor is nice and nifty. Very clean in appearance and very welcoming. The Anna who waits on tables had the warmest smile throughout our visit and that felt really good. the food is really good. We ordered white sauce pasta and a veg and a non-veg pizza, and we definitely got out money's worth ! There are also small handy thinga that you can purchase from their boutique like bags and coasters and cards and bags. I'd give this place a huge thumbs up. It is a great place to eat out on a decent budget. Maybe a little background music would enhance the whole ambience

We dropped in on a Friday night when the restaurant was about to close. We were happy they helped feed hungry souls after a long travel from Chennai.

The ambience is filled with the best aromas of incense sticks, the variegated porcelain mugs, tees and paper products from Auroville, and the restaurant is cosy. Orders were taken swiftly. We ordered for Auroville Ginger and Lemon syrup (my favourite Hibiscus syrup was out of stock) and Iced tea, Garlic bread, a vegetarian Tera pizza and a roasted chicken based Fusion pizza with toppings of our choice - jalapeño and oregano, and finally, the Seafood platter.

To begin with, the drinks could have been cooler, ice could have been added at least. The garlic bread took us by surprise; the bread was thin and non greasy, and was actually the base of the pizza, the garlic pieces lightly roasted with minimal herbs. The pizzas were, by the rule, thin crust, crunchy and lightly baked, the tomato sauce spread and cheese were perfect. Loved the way the thin pieces of the roasted chicken blended with the cheese and our choice of toppings. I wanted to stop at that but then came the sea food platter which was a visual and gustatory delight. The whole fish was the best item on the platter with a lemon wedge generously squeezed on top. The prawns and calamari needed a sprinkle of salt to get their flavour. The prawns especially need a worthy mention - they were fresh and as I exclaimed, "the smell of the sea is still there."

I wonder why I had never come to this place earlier when it is so close to where we stay each time we come to Pondy.

Authentic food, good portions and good price. Loved the wood fired pizza. The rosemary chicken was a tad sweet for my taste though. They have yummy sounding specials and I now wish I had the prawns pasta instead of the chicken.

A very Aurovilian boutique cum café that just happens to have the best wood fired individual pizza in Pondy, bar none. Xtasi can't touch this... especially the price which starts at 90 rs for a 9" , extra for other stuff like oregano and parsley. Other perks are free wifi and a rather nice selection of handmade-in-Auroville souvenirs and clothing. The sarsaparilla drink is nice. Coffee is also fresh and ground.
Kombu cha must be tried, for the right person it can become addictive! will definitely revisit and review

Its just a place where the pasta is really really very tasty. Had it a livelier environment, I would have fallen for it as I really liked whatever I ordered and the service was prompt.

I ate here 3 nights in a row and longed for more.. took my family, my best girl pal and so many people...needed some excuse to go eat there !! They make amazing pizzas and salads...what a weird combo right ? Their drinks are pretty good. The handicrafts displayed are cute and quiet affordable. They are a small quaint place, so don't expect fancy ambiance, but you would definitely get clean, tasty and very affordable food. Do not compare the prices with A2B or surguru and crib please. The food and cuisine is totally different and it would cost differently as well...My mandatory recommendation for anyone who loves continental food and is visiting Pondy !!!!

Stumbled onto this great place while roaming around the beach. The ambiance is quite unique and the decor done up well. It is basically a cottage converted into a boutique and restaurant. We ordered for a chicken pasta, a feta pizza , lemonade and iced tea. The iced tea was well prepared but the lemonade was a bit too sour. I asked for some extra sugar which was promptly provided. The pasta was decent but a little bland for my taste buds. What saved the day was their delicious juicy pizza. It was wood fired and had an extremely tasty thin crust which incredibly was flavored from within which is not found in the regular dominos fare. Definitely one of the best pizzas ive tasted. Go to this cafe if you are in puddu and dont mind spending a lil more than average. Overall a nice place to visit.

Nice quaint place on s.v.patel rd en route to the beach road from hotel atithi jn. Tried the feta n panneer pizza. Also a cheese crepe. Good sizeable portions. Thin crust wood fired. They dont stiff you on the toppings like most indian outlets of pizza hut n dominos do. Low on salt though. The cheese crepe was very nice. Tasteful. Decent menu. No aircon. But the restaurant is set within a shop that sells several knick knacks. Pizza (small size good for 2 ad + 1 child) n crepe cost abt rs 350. Clean place as well.

Best pizza I've eaten till date and I have eaten a LOT of pizzas. One pizza enough to share between two persons and you could get a drink each for a very very satisfying meal. 

We sat outside under some trees draped in fairy lights and it was nice and breezy so we had a good time. The service was very very good, and our server was extremely polite and helpful. And the bill came down to around 500 for this our meal. 

Will definitely visit again!

Great food, bit of a wait for pizzas but they are worth the wait. Timings listed are very off though. This was closed on Sunday evening when we stopped by at 430pm and on Monday morning at 945. Nice pottery and jams and syrups for sale too.

We walked and walked until we could walk no more and we resolved to enter the first café that we stumble upon to refresh ourselves. The Chez Nous experience was borne from such a random decision. We weren’t quite hungry yet, actually thirsty was what we were, so we placed a plate of scrambled eggs as a consolatory order and looked earnestly into their drinks menu.

I was keen on trying their exotic drinks and I really wanted to check out their Kombucha (fermented tea), but unfortunately, it wasn’t available. So I settled for the Spirulina drink which I didn’t know was a nutritional supplement made using blue-green algae. Unless you know what you’re doing, I recommend you stay off this drink. My friends went for the “Auroville” drink which was a sherbet with hints of hibiscus, sarsaparilla and whatnot and it was pretty awesome!

With the weather being horribly humid as it is, I was a little disappointed that they didn’t have air-conditioning. But hey, they did have free Wi-Fi and apparently it’s a bigger selling point than creature comfort. That’s not to say Chez Nous is unattractive, in fact it’s one of the coolest looking places I managed to visit in Pondicherry yet. An old traditional house converted into a café (which explains the name in the first place!) which also doubles up as a place where you can shop for local paraphernalia.

I think Chez Nous is a great place to wind up in the evening, after the sun goes down and Pondy cools down a bit. It might probably be a place I might consider visiting the next time I’m there, and I’d most definitely check out their main course then. Here’s hoping it happens soon!

A nice and warm place. It's a boutique cafe. Good food. Good service and a very cozy environment. Can come here to grab a bite when your hungry. Not a place to choose for fine dining. All in all a nice evening hang out.

Its a small house turned into a cafè. Its filled with decorative items n collections. A nice place to hangout.
I ordered a pasta salad, nutella crepe and a cold coffee. The salad was just great n perfect. I never had a fulfilling cold coffee anywhere in pondy until I came to this place. It was sooooo yummy and just as I expected.
Nutella lovers, don't miss out the nutella crepe. Pricing is decent and the service was excellent.
Its one of the must go restaurants in pondy !!

A very nice place to eat. Ample space for seating. Fries were too good. Definitely better than some McDonald's. Pizzas were great. A good collection of handicrafts for sale. Good price to food ratio.

Lovely place! As the name states, it's set in a house in a very cozy environment! Service was great! Pizzas were good too! The pizza sauce could be a bit better! They have some interesting merchandise on sale which also include merchandise related to the history of Pondicherry and the arts & crafts of the area! On the whole, a very comfortable place to have comfort food!

One of my Favorite Stops for Cheesy Pasta and Great Oven Baked Thin Crust Pizza! Their prices are affordable and reasonable and dinner for two will barely cross 600. Though service is a little slow and the waiters and staff are very reserved, overall it is a wonderful place to visit, with various boutique items to look at while you wait for your food. For a relaxed evening with cheesy stomach filling food, this is the place to be!
