New Banana Café & Restaurant - Pondicherry    Share

Cozy pet friendly place on a rooftop. Decor is cute and rustic, and there's a bookshelf with some books. The roasted chicken, mushroom pasta, Ratatouille pasta were all really good. The drinks were also pretty nice.

A lovely little restaurant with rooftop seating. Authentic French and continental cuisine with great value for money. They also play lovely salsa and other music which adds to it's quaintness :)

Loved the food and the ambience...run by a family it seems....the food was light (which is what we were looking for) and very well made. The juices were very refreshing

As I entered the street I thought it must be a bad restaurant just by the look of the building, it looked like an apartment where ameture chefs would handle food deliveries for large groups. The same impression continued throughout the long climb to the top of the building. Once I reached the top I noticed the place was tidy and simple. No fancy paintings or lights, just a roof made out of dried coconut tree leaves. We seated ourselves comfortably while the only waiter/chef handed us the menu card. The menu card, was simple too. Just a few printed pages with all the dishes. We flipped through the pages and found the new of the dishes a bit complicated since they were all french names. But thankfully there was a description of the dish below it's name, just enough to visualise the dish's taste in our minds. We started ordering by first asking which was their best dish. The waiter/chef confidently answered "We have chosen only the best to be in the menu". I was impressed on hearing his confidence. Usually, other restaurants would selectively show us their "Best Dishes". But here it was different. Once we finished ordering, we had to wait for around 20 minutes to get all of our food on the table. I fell in love with the first dish, The Tuna Salad. It had some unique flavours to it and I was mesmerized. I expected the other dishes to be the same. A few minutes later, the rest of the food landed on the table, (I know this review is going too long but this restaurant deserves it)

Good place. Remotely placed in a narrow residential place but has good ambience, great music and goood food. Service is slow but when u are there to chilll and have a good time, u don't really care about the speed of delivery.
