There is something different in the air at the Le Miami resort these days. It is not just the sea breeze from Serenity Beach.
It is the aroma of food slowly cooking over fire, something many of us grew up with at our grandmothers’ home, but rarely experience today.
At a time when most hospitality brands are struggling with LPG shortages, Le Miami has chosen to respond differently – not by adjusting menus or cutting corners, but by going back to a more authentic means of serving you.

The Recent LPG Challenge Faced by Hospitality Brands
Across Pondicherry and beyond, many restaurants have had to rethink their kitchen operations. LPG shortages have led to:
- Delays in cooking

This shift brings back:
- Slower, more intentional cooking
- Direct heat, not controlled flame
- A method that has been part of Indian kitchens for generations
