The food in Pondicherry is a as cosmopolitan as its people .We were staying at an ashram –guest house, so we could eat at the ashram dining hall where the food is simple, decent and cheap, but a little monotonous. We liked to intersperse it with different types of food in different restaurants.

French haute cuisine is a specialty at the fine Hotel D’ Europe, and the more adventurous can sample Far Eastern cooking at the informal Café Viet Nam.

A pleasant 13 km drive from
