Chez Francis

Our first time in this charming city and no better way to start exploring this heritage place. Monday night Done it Right!

Our first meal in Pondicherry and it was amazing. We had the carrot coriander soup, fish with coconut rice - french cuisine signature, Poulet Saute Champignons - french Cuisine and to finish off pista ice-cream (best ice-cream you will get in Pondicherry). There is a bit of wait time but it’s all worth it. Ask Stalin and he will make sure you have the best from the menu.

Shout out to Stalin who is a gem of a person and asset to this beautiful place! He will surely make sure you had a pleasant experience not only at Chez Francis but in Pondicherry itself. We kept visiting this place every other day just for Stalin.

Highly recommend and your trip is not complete without visiting this place and Stalin.

In the bylanes of the French colony of Puducherry, lies this cute restaurant.
It was the highlight of our two day visit as a family to Puducherry.
The decor is naturally beautiful with a lot of ambivalent light and plants. We chose to sit indoors in the air-conditioned room as it was hot in the afternoons. The server was smiling & we loved his recommendations.
The cream of crab soup was light & yum.
The Seafood platter was an absolutely delicious recommendation. It was a French preparation with the Tiger & Jumbo prawns & veggies tossed in herbs. The Calamari was crunchy fried, the white cheesy sauce was full of flavour.
Poulet du Champignons with Ratatouille was also amazing!
The Cocktails were ok. They had no breezers!
My teenage kids, who are more into fast food, also enjoyed the food!
Our average bill for four came up to Rs.4k. Bit expensive but the experience was really wonderful.

The restaurant is warm and cosy with some green lush around. The food was really good. Especially the Carrot & Coriander soup and the chocolate mousse - pista ice cream dessert. Those were so yummy.
