The Indo-French food served at La Porte des Indes originates from Pondicherry, a coastal town in Southern India which was a former French colony, and has a carefully preserved French influence in its culture and cuisine, which are combined with South Indian flavours. Also known as the French Riviera of the East, Pondicherry’s cuisine includes a wide variety of seafood dishes as well as creamy curries made with coconut milk.
