Beignets are New Orleans' most magical sweet treat:
Brunch near me | Gumbo near me | Po'boy near me | French toast near me
Beignets are a New Orleans classic — square-shaped fried dough pastries generously dusted with powdered (confectioners') sugar. They were brought to Louisiana by French Creole colonists and are now synonymous with New Orleans cuisine, most famously served at Café Du Monde in the French Quarter alongside café au lait.
Beignets are best eaten fresh and hot, straight from the fryer. The classic pairing is a cup of hot café au lait (coffee with steamed milk). Wear a dark shirt — the powdered sugar goes everywhere! They're traditionally served in orders of three. Use ChooseMy.Food to find beignet restaurants near you.
