canteen 18

i have heard a lot about the place for their burgers and wanted to try it out. the place wasn't difficult to find and seemed like a house turned into cafe , located in first and second floor. the walls and decors are so unique and retro. the food is served in trays.
the latte was good and aromatic. the coldcoffeewas really good.
the burgers we took were miami chicken burger and classic veg burger. the miami burger was so damn good and juicy and filling. they had options of single patty or double patty. the classic veg burger has barbecue smokey flavour which i didn't prefer. they give mad angles with burgers.

wow what a place this is, while i was on trip to puducherry tried their burger
i ordered miami burger and coldcoffeeand i must say that both were just awesome in taste.
the burger was so juicy, crisp and tasted really well.
coldcoffeewas so good that i ordered it twice

the tea and coldcoffeeweren't sealed and no straw was given

burgers very amazing , very friendly staff. could improve in terms ofcoffeetaste and variety wise. otherwise great cozy place .

stopped by here to grab a cup ofcoffeefor the boyfriend and some soda for me. cappuccino was okay-ish but the soda was terrible. service was extremely slow, gloomily empty place.

so, after seeing the 4+ rating of this place , we decided to have lunch here. the ambience is good , the place is like a 3bhk apartment and they have kept very basic and raw interiors , which is the best part of this place. we ordered a new york veg sandwich and an irish iced coffee. sandwich was average and icedcoffeewas so bad that we could not finish even half of it. service was extremely poor and slow. overall, not a place i will.like to visit again.

walked into this beautiful, quaint place for lunch. first, it is beautifully done! and the jazz music was just fantastic.

ordered a cajun chicken burger, a classic chicken burger, and a regular cold coffee. the burgers were delicious with the right sauces and flavours! the patties were juicy and the bread was super fresh. thecoffeewas good too.

the owner, shantanu is really hospitable and we had a great conversation with him! he even shared his awesome music playlist with us!

an absolute must-visit in pondicherry!

being in pondy for a leisure trip, i wanted to visit some serene and reposeful cafe and atlast found one! a small sized yet cozy cafe. got amazed by the decor. simple but catchy.

ordered a cowboy chicken hotdog and chocolate cold coffee. the hotdog was snappy and succulent. perfect flavours. nothing to complain about the coldcoffeethough.

will surely hit this place once again if i visit pondy, to try their burgers. very much satisfied for a first visit.

to start off with, the cafè is inside a small contemporary building run by 2 amazingly friendly people. the ambience is welcoming. i'd personally give it 5 stars for the hospitality.

since we had a late breakfast, we weren't hungry and just ordered a cowboy chicken hotdog and cold chocolate coffee.
hotdog - the best hotdog i've ever had and i'm pretty sure this would remain the best. sausage was juicy and had a mild snap to it. the sauces were at the right proportion. the flavour from caramelized onions were phenomenal. it was like 'flavour explosion' right till the last bite. i was so full and still was on a dilemma whether i should be ordering another one.
coldcoffee- it was good, not too thick - just like how a coldcoffeeshould be. the chocolate flavour was predominant, though. i loved it, nevertheless.

totally worth the money!
expect yourself to spend a few hours, enjoying a delicious meal, feeling the uniquess of the ambience, grabbing a book to read and clicking pictures.

a must try if you ever plan a trip to pondicherry!

this place has the most calming ambience i have ever come across, with soft jazz music playing in the background and the rustic charm of the place itself, the place slowly massages one to calmness and gears one up to have the delicious food available here.
the texas beef and bacon burger here was one of the tastiest burger i have had, couple that with the delicious coldcoffeeand you have a perfect meal. friendly staff only add to the charm.

a quaint little corner in the heart of the town a little away from traffic snarls. a very friendly couple are serving some scrumptious burgers
must try place. mostly takeaway but there is sitting arrangements o the pavement if one wantscoffeeand a quick bite. visit this place on canteen be street if you are roaming around the main market place which two block away.

quaint little cafe with a small open kitchen.. ordered a paneer egg burger, coldcoffeeand cup cake of the day... lived up to my expectations. dont miss it...

when you see it for the first time, you will be amazed. little cafe, with no more than sitting area of 10. with a happy face, waiting to serve you with delicacies of the town!

i went there for a quick bite for dinner. certainly not recommended if you have a huge appetite. it's good for snacks.

i had bacon cheese burger with lettuce and tomatoes and chips! with chicken hot-dog and childcoffeeand ice tea. this guy made it all, he's your waiter, chef and in charge of billing!

being involved in the preparation and making sure his guests get as per their taste. he made sure the sugar in thecoffeewas perfect. fresh lime was on the house.

taste. bacon was perfectly cooked. succulent. hot dog was okay.

decently charged. it's a must if you want to just sit outside, a little away from the main noisy market area!

must visit.!

canteen 18 is a restaurant, or you can eat fast food or take away,

everything is delicately prepared with care, there is wide choice of dishes, or the products it selects the menu were.

dessert are both well made and are appetizing.

 
this is not a large restaurant but is friendly embiance

thecoffeeand tea are exeptionnels

canteen 18 isn't a canteen at all. it's a mini bistro of sorts. run by a couple, this bistro doesn't have the most impressive menu. but it does justice to the phrase "quality over quantity". it's in a side lane near the church on mission street. very tiny sign, very tiny joint. it's difficult to spot unless you know what you're looking for.

entrée -
sandwiches, all of them are made to your exact order. laced with their home made special sauce (you have a good set of variants), every bite is one hell of an adventure.
french toast with cinnamon, hot dogs, burgers. they all are just as good as the last.
in every single one of the items, the way each ingredient play with your senses is sublime.

drinks - if you come here, you must try the coldcoffeeand iced tea.

they also have something new everyday, cookies, brownies, small cakes, depends on your luck, and very limited, but everything is brilliant!

ambience - they have 3 tables. that's all. so being all feisty when it comes to seating isn't fair, considering that the food they'll serve will take you for a ride.

expenditure - i must express my disappointment in this part. hence the 4.0 rating and not a 5.0. canteen 18 will blow a hole in your pocket if you are going to eat a stomach full. but if you're willing to just have a snack, then i'd say you'll be okay.

verdict - a modest joint which you'll enjoy, but be careful, if you're going by what your tummy says, you'll end up spending a bomb.
