Day 1

This French town is fondly called "Paris of the East".
White town has an array of colourful homes, and the best part is you could be staying in one of them via AirBnB.
You gotta visit these few beautiful places to know.

This restaurant is in the list of India's top 50 restaurants by Conté Nast Traveller.
The soothing decor of the place with the delectable food makes it so IG worthy.

I tried breakfast at the place with Eggs Kejriwal on a Bagel, Choco Chip Pancakes Stack, watermelon juice and pine apple juice.

The patisserie of the café is *DELICIOUS*

This place serves the BEST BURGERS ever.
With light jazz music playing and a seating of only 15 people and personal attention to your orders, this place must be on your list.
Tried 2 soda based drinks and 4 burgers, but the highlight was Grilled Cheese Croissant.

With beautiful wall art in all the rooms of the café, it's a great spot to enjoy your breakfast .
Tried the Caprese Baguette and some coffee at the place; this is vibrant, colourful and has a small boutique inside to shop.

With it's beautiful chocolate from Mason & Co, it's an organic café by the company.
Delicious sourdough breads and vegan options to choose from, this place has to be a spot on your way to Auroville.
Tried the Hot Chocolate, some vegan Spanish omlette and 2 sourdough s/w.

PS: they're known for their croissants, which are available if you're there at 8AM.

This pizzeria is known all over and is a must visit if you're going to Auroville.
Loved the choice of pizzas they offer.

I tried the onion soup, some french fries and 2 classic pizzas to feed my soul.

You can't come to South India, and not have good south Indian food.
There are a lot of better options like the thaali meals, sambhar vada which are available for breakfast/ lunch.
Since I went for dinner the south Indian options are limited. They serve with sambhar, coconut chutney, peanut Chutney and super delicious kosthu

I tried the Idli, Ghee Roast Dosai, Tandoori Idli and Paneer Fried Rice.
