Pune sits nowhere near the coast, yet it has built one of Maharashtra's most loved seafood scenes. From Malvani fish thalis in old-city lanes to Mangalorean crab curries in fine-dining hotels, the city serves coastal India on a plate.
Here's a clear, no-fluff guide to where locals and food bloggers say you should eat next- a curated list of 8 seafood restaurants in Pune, across the city (from Camp Area to Kharadi to Magarpatta), what each one is actually known for, and roughly what a meal for two will cost you. We'll also walk through the seafood dishes worth ordering, a few practical tips on timing and budget so you don't show up to a shut kitchen, and quick answers to the questions people usually ask before picking a place — from which restaurant is genuinely the best, to whether the fish is even fresh in a landlocked city.
