The best French cuisine restaurants India

One of the oldest and most popular restaurants in the city. The uniformed staff will serve you delicious Indian and Rajasthani cuisine. The dishes are well presented on the plate and delight the taste buds. We recommend the excellent tandoori dishes. As the restaurant is very popular, it is better to book in high season. In the evening, a group of musicians is there to entertain the customers with their folk music. Comfortably seated at a low table in one of the corners, you will enjoy the illuminated view of the city.

A very good address on the side of Lal Ghat. You will dine at the bottom of an alcove with view of the lake. Indian dishes are delicious and relevés to your taste. Chinese and international specialities also. Reservations recommended in season.

Despite the name "Coffee House", it is one of the most refined restaurants in the capital where the wealthy class likes to meet. Opened in 1942, time seems to have no hold on the premises. Still the same woodwork, the same thick carpeting and the impressive crystal chandelier that floats above the room. The menu, deliciously old fashioned, offers dishes drawn from the Raj's repertoire: sole meunière is served alongside tandoori chicken. For those nostalgic for a time that those under 20 can't even imagine.

When, in 1911, Haji Karimuddin set up his modest gargote in the south of the Jama Masjid, he certainly did not foresee that, a century later, his sign would be one of the most famous in the city. People come here to taste the burra kebab or a basmati badam pasanda, in other words a tender piece of lamb served with an almond-based sauce. You can also taste the kheer, this rice pudding flavoured with cardamom and covered with pistachios and almonds, a delicacy! As the portions are generous, the choice of half (half-serving) is more digestible.

The restaurant bears this name in reference to the date the city was founded by Maharana Udai Singh. Situated on the edge of the lake Fateh Sagar its terrace is a real pleasure. In a century-old building, guests can choose between a restaurant, lounge bar or coffee shop. The restaurant, a chic and elegant place, serves traditional European cuisine with Indian influences. In the evening, in the garden, the subdued light of the candles diffuses a romantic atmosphere. The bar offers a sober setting ideal for sipping a drink. The coffee-shop is the perfect place to get rid of the sweet tooth.

This restaurant located on the roof of the hotel Pal Haveli is famous for its exceptional location. In the evening, whether on the terrace or in a room with bay windows, the setting is enchanting. Very professional, the waiters are attentive. We recommend the chicken Labaddar: grilled chicken, cooked in a butter and tomato sauce, an improved version of the butter chicken. The view on the city, the fort and the clock is magnificent! The setting is perfect for a candlelit dinner for two. Very romantic.

The best buffet in town? In any case, this restaurant is located in a pleasant, well-kept garden and the formula is attractive. If you opt for the buffet, you can eat as much as you want, for a slightly higher price than the a la carte menu. The choice is not huge, but the cuisine is simple and of good quality. The restaurant also offers a menu, with some delicious snacks like the eggplant and feta salad. To be accompanied by a cold beer.

The place is worth a visit for its breathtaking view of the sacred lake, especially at sunset. It is better to come a little earlier if you want to have a place on the terrace, because the address is popular and the tables along the street are quickly taken. The food is good and the menu offers Indian and continental classics that you can find everywhere in the city: curries, dal, rotis, pizzas... and the inevitable Israeli specialties!

This chain famous for its cakes and other sweet treats has several restaurants scattered throughout the capital. Sort of a local fast food restaurant, it's the perfect place if you're feeling a little peckish before taking a train. In a large, noisy, neon-lit room, you can quickly swallow a masala dosa, a thali or a dal makhani with rice. Don't miss the rasmalai sold individually to finish on a sweet note. And if Indian specialities don't tempt you, there are a few Western dishes on the menu.

This chic restaurant, frequented mainly by Delhiites, is worth the trip. The Indian food is not only delicious, but also spicy (for once!). And that's not all, the staff is very friendly and the portions are copious. Our suggestion: boneless murg tikka or murg makhani (chicken) with cheese nan and navratan pulao. You will tell us about it... This is also one of the few interesting options in the Chanyakapuri area, where if all the embassies gather, there are not many restaurants.

Seafood specialities in the goanaise fashion, fried fish, squid... The owner is super nice!

Sam's Cafe is another mythical place of Pahar Ganj. If the dining room does not have any interest, everyone can take refuge on the roof and its terrace as a garden. With a fine selection of Italian, Israeli, Chinese and cooked meats in the tandoor, the chef knows how to attract tourist customers who are in the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, the result is not up to the map, and we've stayed on our hunger a little. Prefer to enjoy a fresh drink at the end of the day.

This grungy pocket restaurant is the best of the local canteen scene in Jaipur. No matter what time of day it is, you'll always find customers sitting down to indulge in a well-balanced thali. Not too hearty, not too fatty, it's just right. Alongside parathas and other rotis (bread), the restaurant serves some South Indian specialties like idli and dosa. This authentic address allows you to revise your culinary range at a low price. The address is so local that no English is spoken.

More elegant than Old Delhi's, the waiters' uniforms match the burgundy of the two rooms. Here, we recommend the chicken afghani, whose spicy note you will calm down with a cucumber raita or the spicy mutton with its subtle perfume. Finally, the kulfi refreshes the palate with icy notes of pistachio or almond. Like the one in Old Delhi, this restaurant is a safe bet. It is advisable to make a reservation on Thursday evening because many people, after listening to Sufi songs at the dargah of Nizamuddin, meet here.

The taste of South India in the mountains, it could seem incongruous if this cuisine was not one of the favorites of Indians. Most of them are here on vacation and looking for a change of scenery. Sankalp fulfills this desire here. You will eat delicious dosa, a kind of crunchy pancake, stuffed or not and accompanied by various sauces. Our preference is for the hearty masala dosa. In addition to these very popular pancakes, which are especially popular at breakfast, the menu offers other local specialties such as idli, vada and uttapam.

A small institution in the city, this restaurant has a full house at every service. To set the scene (a bit kitsch): large air-conditioned room, red and white checkered tablecloths on the tables and waiters in uniform. The food is very good and for once, the service is fast. In the entrance, a pastry shop offers a limited, but appetizing, choice of cakes. Upstairs, a large terrace overlooks the street and thanks to the braziers that warm it up a bit, you can sit there in winter for a drink or dinner under the stars.

The few tables of this small restaurant "à la bonne franquette" are installed at the edge of the lake, two steps from the pedestrian bridge. On a background of reggae music, the young tourists quickly get acquainted with Pappu and Pandit, the two adorable managers. People come here for the relaxed atmosphere, the warm welcome, the cheap and tasty food and a fresh Kingfisher. If you stay several days in the city, you will come back for sure... Service is a bit slow.

On the first floor of this flashy building, the fast-food, and on the first floor, the restaurant. You will be able to taste South Indian specialities such as dosa, idli or vada, but also Chinese dishes(chowmein), pizzas, sandwiches and burgers. The Indian specialties are quite delicious, especially the potato and onion curry, the best in Rajasthan. They only serve vegetarian specialties in a huge and rather sad room. The location near the train station is perfect to eat before catching a train.

Located near the train station, on the main street, Amberwalla is a good place to try some South Indian specialties or to enjoy a hearty thali. Only good vegetarian dishes are served in this air-conditioned room. You will find there a local canteen atmosphere with a rather ordinary setting and an expeditious service, which does not seem to disturb the exclusively Indian clientele. For a small price, the Amber thali is an excellent choice, tasty and very nourishing. Restaurant not to be missed for the small budgets.
