Although Pondicherry offers a wide range of cuisines, from French to Chinese to Indian and Vietnamese, be sure to eat at one of the good restaurants and cafes that dot the town. The roadside eating joints, though quite cheap, may not be very hygienic. The choice and range of dishes that you will get here can be compared to any metropolitan since it has a very strong French influence. Do try the seafood, which happens to be very fresh here. In fact, the fish on your dinner plate was probably in the sea a couple of hours ago!
