This was the first restaurant we tried in Pondicherry. It's located close to the sea beach. There is nothing fancy about the environment , but it's cosy and it u will like it. We had Chinese food there. Soup and chicken fried rice was good. The chilli chicken could have been better. We didn't get the spicy chilli flavour and the chicken seemed boiled rather than fried.

A great place to dine. Decent food and drink in reasonable prices. Their beef steak, sizzlers, is enough to seduce your taste buds. Fresh fruit juices are a great accompaniment.

Great food at reasonable prices. The place is located very close to the beach and the interiors are an additional plus to this place :) Their pizzas are very filling. Their fish is really good too. This place ticks all the boxes for a great restaurant!

Came here for dinner during my visit to Pondi. It is a small restaurant and ambiance is not that great. There was way too many mosquitoes biting you and we can't enjoy the food peacefully. But the food was really good and tasty.

We had their seafood sizzlers which have both fish and prawn alongwith some fries and sautéed vegetables in it. The food was really really good and tasty. We also had Vanilla milkshake and cold coffee which was a big help in the humid weather. I have to say it was worth the visit.

This one is one dingy but cosy shack-esque place where you can get food that belong to different cuisine altogether. You can get woodfire pizza as well as tandoori dishes.

It's extremely near to the beach and a good place to have your meals. The la terrasse special pizza was excellent.

The place looks pretty good. With a decent ambience. We ordered beef steak. The brown sauce added a good flavour to the whole thing. Another good dish was Poulet a champinion ala creme which was a dish made from chicken having a sweet tinge to it. The place was decently priced and was with good food.

Just beyond the Rock Beach, La Terrasse is a great place to be on a cool december evening.
The place has a beautiful,laid back feel to it, thanks in no part to the thatched roof.
The food is pretty snazzy, with the Chaiyo being a speciality(be warned though,the Chaiyo's are limited in their availability) and make sure you say "yes" to the fish sauce that comes with it.
And the Pizza's are superb,best I've had in Pondy.
Bottom line: This is one place you *must* visit before you leave Pondy. Let the place charm you and maybe if you're feeling adventurous, throw In a dash of the fish sauce on your pizza and discover a whole new taste!

Good food, not too expensive.
Loved the fish in ginger garlic sauce.
Also had the fried fish and chips and the roast chicken - the classic recipes. The meat was cooked well and was juicy.(not over cooked in the British stereotypical sense).
The soups are not very good though.

They have English/French/Hindi speaking staff.

They have different menus for different timings.. i went with my friends for breakfast and it was raining heavily.. enjoyed this place.. the omlet and eggs variety is too good.. French toast and bhurji was good.. And their Masala chai just made my day.. The ambience is a little dull but overall ok...

Authentic continental and chinese food. If you are in Pondicherry, there is no way you should escape this cuisine. Lovely ambience, very near to Rock Beach. If you are in this restaurant, you should not miss on Mixed Noodles (which will have beef, prawns spread over it) and beef steak (which will have assorted vegetables and french fries alongside).

The ambience is no that great but boy, the food nailed it for me. The Chinese, the pastas, the steaks..everything was a ten on ten. The best thin crust pizza I had in Pondi. Pricing is very reasonable too. The minus is that they very conservatively stick to the rule of not serving alcohol while the other places manage to camouflage and get you some. Must try!!

We had been here to try 'a French Restaurant', unfortunately we were almost late; the menu appeared to tempting. To start we ordered Noodle Soup, and ola! Those guys got us Noodles instead of soup! And the soup was below average! We wanted to try Pizzas unfortunately the delay due to misunderstanding made us walk in at the last minute, so they could not serve us Pizzas. Pricing seems to be affordable, ambiance is fusion of hutch and new-gen.

I can't consider as a complete review but had bitter experience.

This place has Smoking area and if you are ok with pets; yeaa they have a couple of cats roaming around!

A simple shack few hundred meters from the beach(close to Park guest house) with decent seating space and serving a good number of cuisines. I had completely overlooked this place in search of restaurants and cafes recommended by friends and zomato. Given the strict timings of the guesthouse gates closing at 10:30 sharp and with just 40 minutes in hand, we zeroed on Le Terrase.

The place is kept simple. Plastic chairs, fans above and open space for some breeze to come in. The pillars supporting the roof are palm tree trunks. Everything else on the wall and roof is wood or bamboo. It gives you the feel of sitting on the beach even though you are not.

It was a Sunday night and the place was packed. I could hear a lot of sizzles from sizzlers and the sight of pizzas made me even more hungry. With a lot less time in hand, we went in for some Chinese. We ordered a veg fried rice, a chilli mushroom in gravy, a veg noodles and a mushroom manchurian.

The service was slow, may be because of the peak time crowd. But when the dishes arrived after 25 minutes, we could hardly complain. Decent quantities, the mushrooms were cooked well in both the dishes. Can say it was some pretty good chinese for dinner that day.

With my curiosity to try something more we headed down to La terrasse again next morning for breakfast at around 10. Being a weekday morning the place was empty. I wanted to have an omelette and went on for a bacon omelette while my mother ordered a fruit salad with icecream. Yet again, the food arrived after about 20 minutes.

The fruit bowl had the in-season fruits with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the top. Just a simple fruit bowl! The bacon omelette however, disappointed me. There was very less bacon in the omelette, just a few pieces of strips here and there. At 120 and 160 bucks I had expected a little more from them.

Although I loved the place, the people and the chinese, with the trip coming to an end and our disappointment with the breakfast, we chose to have lunch elsewhere.

May be I shall visit the place on another visit later for their pizzas and sizzlers. :)

First thing that I would like to mention about is the utter shock that I experienced by the fact that such a good restaurant has such low rating. 
This place situated in a corner on the beach road of white town comes in the simplest form you can imagine or expect to find a restaurant in. Located in the courtyard of an old home, the place can house around 30-40 people at a time which I believe is the perfect no. if you want to enjoy your meal and at the same time have a proper conversation with your companions in the absence of chattering noise of an overcrowded restaurant. I really love such small places, as these are the places where you would generally find the best food in that locality. The authentic flavours of any place, specially at places like Puducherry are discovered at such places. They only attraction that they have is not costly decoration but the flavour of their food and calm ambiance. 

Coming to food, I think most local people would agree with me on the fact that they serve amazing, if not the best French food in the town. In fact that's what we observed also, when we asked various restaurants and cafes they suggested us this place. The dishes are cooked to perfection with care so that the spices don't shadow the taste of the original ingredients used in dish. 

A good example would be the Soft fried rice that we tried there. The flavour of each vegetable be it spring onions or carrots was individually identifiable and at the same time they all fused together to give a great united flavour. The same thing goes for their famous wood fired pizzas. the flavour of mushrooms, pineapple and the rich tomato sauce fused together with the mozzarella cheese created a unique cocktail of flavours which were no less than magic on a crispy pizza base.

All in all without taking more space I would say that if you are in Puducherry, then take out your wallet and run to this place and try the food here, else you are missing out on a great experience.

Décoration pauvre. Le restaurant est en bord de route, et il y a des chiens errants 🐶 couchés un peu partout aux alentours. Le restaurant n'a semble t-il qu'une terrasse couverte, avec des tables et chaises en plastique blanc. J'imagine que ce doit être plus joli le soir avec les lumières!

Ambiance: 4/5
Le restaurant était calme quand nous y sommes allés, il était 11h50. Il y a des ventilateurs au plafond.

Nourriture salée: 4/5
Nous avons choisi de prendre une pizza Marguerite avec de l'aubergine 🍆 et une pizza Forestier avec de l'ananas 🍍. Pour le prix, les pizzas 🍕 sont assez grosses et si vous n'êtes pas un gros mangeur, la moitié d'une vous suffira. Elles sont garnies de sauce tomate 🍅 et de fromage rapé fondu, les cuisiniers étaient un peu radins sur l'aubergine et l'ananas! La pâte était très dure et fine.

Nourriture sucrée: -/-

Boissons: 5/5
Nous avons pris un lassi mangue 🍧 et une sorte de milkshake avec une boule de glace 🍦 à la vanille. C'était très bon.

Service: 4/5
Le serveur était sympathique, peu bavard. Comme partout en Inde, on attend de 10 à 20 minutes minimum pour avoir son plat 🍛.

Prix: 2/5
Comparé à d'autres endroits, les prix 💸 sont assez elevés. De plus, il faut payer des taxes supplémentaires.

Globalement: je n'y retournerais pas. À moins d'avoir la flemme de trouver autre chose qui soit meilleur et moins cher! Passez votre chemin si vous voyagez avec un petit budget. Si vous êtes en famille et que vous manquez de nourriture occidentale, essayez.

Not sure if this place deserves such poor reviews. This is a french restaurant that serves French Food for everyday consumption. Mind it that the French folks especially the senior citizens do visit this place often. So, i would actually not expect my meal to be so glazed. Anyone who has not tried the pizza here might give a minimal rating, but since I did - and thank god I did.

The pizza was absolutely amazing. It's a fire pizza as they call it. Had it once when I was here in 2008 and had it last week again. The taste has not changed and nor has the quality. So if I would actually be here. I would be here only for the Pizza. Everything else, is out of the equation.

Okay, most of the reviewers have complained about the place. None of them have tried the pizza here. The shack looks dismal and as you enter, there would be a barrage of street dogs outside waiting for the owner to feed them. Inside, there would be 3-4 cats lazying around. The fans would be turned on where you decide to sit, an ordinary looking guy would come with the much-flipped menu and you'd jump to the rice and "manjoorian" and "noodels" and chicken this and chicken that and prawn masala and whatnot. Stop! They know their pizza. And they know their salad. And they know their simple steamed fish. How can one be disappointed in a thin crust, wood-fired, heavily loaded, locally procured cheese pizza is beyond me! They can put joints like Dominos and Pizza Hut to shame. And their salads.. when the bowl/plate arrives, you can tell that lettuce is so fresh, it refuses to sit down. All in all, if you like your pizzas, do give them a chance.

This place has a very soothing ambience. The staff is very courteous and the quality and quantity of the food is excellent. Had Egg noodles, chicken fried rice and chicken manchurian. All the dishes were very nicely prepared. You can definitely give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. The only flaw that I found was that the service time was a bit more than expected. Thats the only thing they need to improve.

La terasse was a good find as far as food is concerned in pondicherry. Its situated right next to the petrol pump at the starting of the promenade rocky beach. So as we enter, we absolutely fell in love with the place...a garden like set up which was absolute lovely and cozy at the same time. The waiters were very polite. We went twice to this place...once for lunch and the other for dinner. Keep in mind that all the restaurants have a fixed time of closing in pondi be it lunch or dinner. Its closes by 3 pm for lunch and 10pm for dinner. For lunch we started with lemon soda and butter milk. Then came the starters...garlic chicken and chicken manchurian...both tasted gud...and the quantity was also quite decent. Everything in the restaurant is so moderately priced unlike some othr resto in pondi. Thats the best part of this place. It will not burn a hole in your pocket. For the main course we had ordered mixed fried rice(non veg) , chicken fried rice, chilli chicken gravy and chilli fish. All the dishes were awesome. The taste, quality and quantity were good.
For the dinner we had ordered thin crust pizza...pizza hawaian...it was so authentic and out of the place that we ordered another one. The chicken and the vegetables used were so fresh and it was very tasty. We had also ordered dry chilli chicken wch was gud accomponied by the pot coffee. It was a very gud experience to dine at La Terasse. Its must try is the banana pan cakes which we missed out coz of a lot of ppl had turned out in the long weekend but next time we will def. gonna try that. In short...Decent place...decent food with a value of money.

Tucked in a corner of the beach in White Town, sits a little piece of France, next to the Flashy Asian House, It brings french home cuisines to the hustle bustle of Pondicherry beach somehow the honesty of this place shines through.

With no feel of a glam sham knitted into shacks and moderate tables,
La Terasse draws you into an environment, balmy and some high quality food. Start off with either the Lemon Soda or balance it out with the bitterness from the French Coffee. 
The Poulet Au Champignon A La Creme is a classic example of a dish that truly exemplifies this place. The rates unlike other restaurants have not been shooting towards the sky, but this creamy sauced chicken is still kept on the menu at very decent rate. Served on a crispy toasty piece of chicken, this dish impresses you with the earthiness of the fresh wild mushrooms like chanterelles or porcinis enveloped in the creamy sauce.

Banana Chocolate Pan-cakes are something you cannot afford to miss here.
