About
Tucked away in the Auroville forest, Naturellement Garden Cafe has a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere with garden, court yard and roof seating. In the restaurant-kitchen, only the very best and carefully selected ingredients are used, organic whenever available, with plenty of fresh produce from Auroville: milk, cheese, bread, eggs, organic fruit and vegetables. We put importance on the health aspects of food, replacing refined oils with extra virgin olive oil and home-made ghee. Everything made in-house, from mascarpone to pasta, grissini and focaccia bread! With its relaxed atmosphere, a variety of good magazines, free Wi-Fi and a children's area, the Garden Cafe is perfect whether you are on your own, having a working lunch or a family outing.

Naturellement is one of the few truly kid friendly restaurant in the area.They have a great kids corner fully equipped with toys and games and high chairs but most of all the staff is helpful and kind with kids and their parents!
The food is good and a lot of effort is put into serving healthy tasty continental food.The food is generally good if not excellent and the service is efficient and friendly.
Their homemade ice creams and desserts are delicious.
The general atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious.
This is not a five star establishment but a lovely café,a place to relax.
Would definitely go back.

Me and My wife been to this Cafe last week during the Golden Day 29th Feb. We were there for 3 days and we attended the Bon Fire in Auroville. We heard about this restaurant and we drove with the assistance of Google Map and reached through rough roads. But after reaching the destination we were stunned by the ambiance and atmosphere. The Menu was so different and we start from the Soup. We were served a soup made of Potato. The Yummy delicious soup we ever had. And followed through the main course. We ordered a lot but the restaurant people guided us to order one by one. The staffs are very courteous and we were finished our dinner with a delicious Dessert. We really enjoyed the Cuisines. Worth to again. Will go whenever we visit Pondicherry

i am not a big fan of "eating European" while visiting India, however, really appreciated a lunch in this cafe. A perfect location for a meal or snack after a morning workshop in Verite'. One can choose between sitting in a cooler closed room or outside. Refreshing gazpacho and hummus were tasty, and "Martina's cake" beyond any expectation..! It's above overage prices in Auroville but it's worth it. Can be payed as cash as Au card.. And it's about the only place I 've got a proper Darjeeling tea..!

We went here as the restaurant is rated very highly and we loved the experience. The food is fab, fresh and tasty, the ladies serving are smiling and polite and it's amidst nature, real one not created. Just carry a mosquito repellent with you. Recommended stuff - foccacia bread and popsicles..

We are happy that you had an overall enjoyable experience!
As for your advice to carry mosquito repellent there is no need since we have a good stock, as well as mosquito repellent incense, it is just to ask.
We will anyhow remind our staff who are supposed to offer them to new customers.
Hope to see you again!
Warmly, Martina

Garden cafe, terrace, and indoor dining. Continental fare, hummus, Thai kurry, sandwich, more. Try every galette!
Wonderful ambiance. I like every entree; difficult to choose. Desserts also superb.
See menu at Zomato. Entrees ₹3-500.

We were spending the day exploring Auroville on rented bicycles. We started out at the bike rental place at the Auroville visitor center and loosely followed the suggested bike route of a few miles, passing attractions like the youth center, some farms and residential areas along the way. It was a typically hot and humid sunny August day, so we (my husband, two kids and I) were pretty worn out at about the midway point even though it's far from being a strenuous ride. Stopping at Naturellement Garden Cafe was just the thing we needed.
Just the setting alone is beautiful - lovely secluded and calm under a canopy of trees. We had the option of choosing an AC room but we didn't actually take it because the outdoor seating was so nice. They have a variety of homemade juices which you can have with or without soda. The place is totally unassuming and homey, and seems to embody the spirit of the Auroville community. My husband ordered a ragi galette which was literally the best thing we ate during our 4 day visit to Pondicherry and Auroville - and that's saying a lot because we had a lot of amazing meals. Such a simple idea but a perfect blend of cuisines - using a local grain like ragi (millet) to make what was otherwise a pretty French-tasting savory galette, with a delicious tomato based filling.
There was something dreamlike about the whole experience - we went upstairs to explore the terrace and roof area for a little while after we ate, and then picked up our bikes to finish the rest of the ride. There are other cafes on the route - but I highly recommend this one, it was a perfect interlude!

Italian food is nice and fresh, the taste is really unique. The ambiance is very appealing, the only thing is most food is served cold, they need to some dishes that can be served hot.

This is in Auroville and you do need your own transport to reach there. There is a garden section and a room which I assume is aircondioned. It can be terribly hot in summer but there are fans provided.
There is a somewhat limited menu and mostly vegan. The food is very tasty and the service okay. The staff do get confused in case of crowd or repeated orders.
As in all my reviews I have this problem that tripadvisor does not have an option between Average and very good so i am forced to rate as average. It is good but not "very good"

This is surely one of the best places to have vegan food. Excellent atmosphere - you sit on tables/chairs in open air, amidst nature, served by extremely amicable staff who are fluent in English and now the most important part - the food - HEAVEN! Order just anything and it will blow you away.

Beautiful place set in lovely garden. Very nice atmosphere; excellent food - a range of interesting international foods. We had tasty spinach & cheese ravioli, with pesto sauce; and home made gnocchi with mushroom sauce - very nice. Also great range of drinks and tasty ice cream, made on the premises, for dessert. Popular place, understandably; this cafe offers something different from most Indian restaurants.
