The cafe where you can have a tasty French food, yummy cup of coffee and chilling at midnight with cool fresh air and sound of sea waves.
A perfect french style cafe for authentic french dine besides rock beach which attracts manny tourist. It is open 24*7 where you can relax at night. Very nice ambience and its romantic too
Which can give best night experience in pondicherry.

Must visit place when in Pondicherry. The best thing about this place is they have 24/7 service but the upper deck closes at 10pm. Though the upper sitting area has a better view but the lower area is equally breezy and calm. The prices are reasonable and the food quality and quantity both are really good. They have self service dining but it doesn't matter since the service is quick. Among the 3 days I was in pondi, I went there almost everyday once for coffee or lasagna and sea food.

Le Café is the only sea facing café in Pondicherry, we were on the way to Chennai from Velankkani, thought would stop by for breakfast, as we have heard a lot about the café. We reached there by around 9.30 am, as per history its supposed to be a old port office during the French period when the railways, used to operate between north and south boulevard. Theirs is pier in front of the Café, after some research found that it was old pier and was destroyed by strong cyclone in 1952, one can see the remains till date from the Le Café.

Me and parents had visited the cafe on a weekday. hence, the place wasn't crowded. The location is excellent, right at the promenade. We took a table on the terrace. The view along with the sound of the waves was mesmerizing. The price is ok.. Neither too cheap nor very expensive.

Le cafe is located right on rock beach and it's got a sea view. Though it usually is packed it's definitely worth checking out if you are in Pondicherry. I had ordered the ice tea along with the chicken lasagna. Overall the food was good and the pricing was decent.

Just reached Pondicherry and wondering where to have breakfast , well this place is your answer. Located right next to Promenafe Beach , this beautiful cafe is definitely worth starting your day with. We tried the Continental Breakfast and it was pretty amazing. The place is quite open so you can experience the cool sea breeze blowing while you eat their lip-smacking dishes.

Le Cafe, White Town, Pondicherry. A cafe situated just next to beach, its one of the first cafe's in pondy, built in 1950s( source: @google )

Offers wide variety of food/drinks-juices, tea, coffee,juices plus a beautiful sea 🌊 view. Most of things are fresh and yum 😋. Best part its open 24 hrs ❤️. So when you itch for a good coffee at 12 AM , you can rely 💯 % on this place.

We ordered: cappuccino, cold latte, mochaccino & chocolate coffee,tomato basil sub, muffin❤️ Coffee-5/5

Food-5/5

Value for money-5/5

View-5/5

Ambience-pretty old and rustic, so if you sit rooftop you would enjoy the view and forget the rest

Service-3/5, sometimes rude🤣

One of the best places if you're in Puducherry and want anything to eat 24*7.
The place has an amazing outdoor sitting by the beach with cool breeze flowing through your hair and the sound of the waves while enjoying delicious snacks and drinks. A comfortable place to hang out with your friends/family/ loved one at any time of the day.

Coffee was worth than any other famous coffee place. The prices are also reasonable. And the brownie is simply lip smacking tasty. Also this place is always crowded so it’s got to be 5 star worthy.

Very very limited options for food but that’s not a problem there because this cafe has the best view ambience. Roof top seatings has sea facing view and you can actually have tea coffee with the sea view. We ordered veg sandwiches, chicken sandwich, coffee, cappuccino, french fries and pizzas, apple pie. Coffee was good. But the pizza was great.

The only 24 hours beach cafe in promnade beach. Worth a single visit. very reliable their 🍕 pizza are great a well "wood fired piiza". A self service restaurant with workers like a government office in delhi too lazy. Overall a one time visit with super beach view worth it.otherwise you will regret. It is cheap..

Had read a lot of good things about the pizzas here on many blogs. So had to visit on my travel to Pondicherry. I'm so glad I did! It was incredibly windy that day and the cafe is placed by the beach so the sounds of the waves gushing while gorging on delicious pizzas was a memorable experience.

We had the vegetarian pizza with all the toppings and the paneer Tikka pizza both of which were amazing. The vegelicious pizza was so good and so much loaded with toppings, it seemed a very healthy option. 1 thing I loved was that they had put a lot of spinach and corn and it really accentuated the flavour of the pizza.

Overall this is the must visit in the evening. Sit upstairs and enjoy your meal!

Good place to chill and the best part is that it is open till late in the night. Food was okayish though.

Let's be honest. The food here is terrible. Only good things from the menu are fries and brownie with icecream. Lasagna is ok, even though it tastes nothing like a real lasagna. Hot coffee beverages are mediocre. Cold coffee beverages are literally watery and runny chilled coffee. Sandwiches are meh. But, the view and ambience makes up for the bad food. Amazing spot to just sit and talk by the beach while sipping some mediocre coffee.

Le Cafe, situated along the picturesque coastline of Pondicherry, offers a delightful beachside escapade that beckons patrons to immerse themselves in the soothing embrace of the waves while savoring a cup of coffee or tea. The cappuccino, a star in its own right, captivates with a bold and indulgent flavor, a testament to the cafe's commitment to quality. However, the cold coffee falls short of expectations, leaving room for improvement in the realm of chilled beverage offerings. The ambiance at Le Cafe is undeniably charming, creating a haven for relaxation within its comfortable seating areas. Yet, a noticeable drawback emerges in the form of an extended wait to settle the bill, highlighting an aspect that could benefit from refinement. Despite this, for those who cherish panoramic beach views and seek the charm of a quaint atmosphere, Le Cafe stands as a worthy destination. The culinary aspect of the experience contributes significantly to its allure, with the food surpassing expectations and earning praise for being above average. This adds another layer to the overall appeal of the cafe, elevating it beyond a mere beverage stop to a culinary destination. One distinctive feature of Le Cafe is its self-service format, contributing to a laid-back and casual atmosphere. Patrons have the autonomy to navigate their dining experience, adding an element of independence to the overall ambiance. The convenience of being a 24-hour operation further enhances its accessibility, catering to a diverse range of schedules and preferences. For those seeking a heightened experience, the rooftop seating is highly recommended, offering an elevated perspective that pairs seamlessly with the coastal setting. Sunset visits are particularly advised, transforming the cafe into a magical space bathed in the warm hues of the descending sun, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Le Cafe, beyond being a culinary haven, emerges as a perfect beachside retreat with rates that remain affordable despite the enchanting views on offer. The self-service model, coupled with the 24-hour operation, adds a layer of flexibility, making it an accessible choice for patrons at any time of the day. Considered a must-visit spot in Pondicherry, Le Cafe sets itself apart by providing round-the-clock service, ensuring it accommodates various preferences and schedules. While the upper seating area boasts a superior view, the lower area is equally inviting, with a breezy and calm ambiance. Reasonable prices align with the quality and quantity of the food, ensuring a satisfying dining experience. The charm of Le Cafe extends beyond its culinary offerings, encapsulating the essence of Pondicherry. The cool, fresh air, coupled with the rhythmic sound of sea waves, creates a picturesque backdrop for indulging in a scrumptious French breakfast or brunch. For those starting their day, the cafe becomes a regular breakfast spot, offering an immersive experience that seamlessly blends gastronomy with the soothing elements of nature. In conclusion, Le Cafe in Pondicherry is a testament to the harmonious integration of culinary delights, scenic beauty, and a relaxed atmosphere. Despite minor areas for improvement, such as the wait time for settling bills, its overall charm and affordability make it a standout destination for locals and travelers alike. Whether drawn by the allure of a beachside cafe, panoramic views, or the convenience of 24-hour service, Le Cafe promises a memorable and satisfying experience for those seeking a perfect blend of gastronomy and coastal tranquillity

Dont get fooled by the name its a beautiful place with decent pricing. To have coffee, tea and snacks. During my 4 day stay in Pondicherry I came here almost every day. Loved their chocolate croissant (pain au chocolate) and expresso americano. French fries are also good. Its very crowded during weekends but you can easily find some place to sit facing the beach. It says open 24 hours.

Le Cafe is a nice open air cafe on Rock beach Pondicherry, the food is good and the ambience is awesome,overlooking the sea. There is self service,one is supposed to queue up and place orders, then take the coupons to the next counter and collect the food.There are basic seating arrangements down by the sea and upstairs overlooking the sea.People come here for the good food which is priced quite reasonably and for the wonderful serene and cool sea side ambience.

We were unable to have our breakfast inside the cafe since it was closed. Instead food was served in the open area adjacent to the cafe. Really missed the cafe vibe though the food was just fine.

with a comfortable seating area perfect for relaxation. The view was looking very good, can get a good experience specially in relaxation, However, the downside was the extended wait to pay the bill, which could use improvement. If you cherish beach views and seek a quaint little spot, this cafe is worth a visit.rather then go other restaurants You can try it once
