The canteen at Alliance Francaise at Lodi Estate is one of the best little places for French food in Delhi. Run by Ritu Dalmia of Diva, it has a great menu, affordable prices and a nice ambience with sparkling glass windows. Talking of food, there is an excellent soup, a broth with pesto, spinach and cheese puffs, a quiche Lorraine and a two-egg omelette with chives, cheese and onions.

But if you want to have a full meal, you should opt for the dish of the day or the ‘plat du jour’. There are some other interesting dishes there as well, including a mushroom and spring onion salad with thyme and a potato and cheese pancake with or without grilled sausages

Apart from all this, there is an Indian food section too, serving masala dosa, chicken kathi rolls and idli sambar, etc. There is also a curry of the day served with steamed rice, vegetables, pickle and chutney.
