Café du Monde’s Beignet | Legendary Eats

In New Orleans, many people grow up eating beignets. And if they aren't enjoying them at home, they're likely heading to Café du Monde in the French Quarter for a fresh plate served hot from the fryer. The café is the indisputable source of NOLA's most famous beignets, which, after more than a century, remain the only food item you can order off the menu.

The last girl is spot on. Even if you don't like beignets, you have to hit up Café du Mondé just for the tradition. Cool joint.

Those ladies criminally undersold beignets... My first time trying one was like a religious experience. I cannot describe how good they are. One of the best, most memorable food experiences I've ever had in my life.

Dude! We were just there last week. Wife and I ate our beignets sitting on the steps looking out over the river just behind the cafe.

When to New Orleans last year, and these are great!!! Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.

“...where the bakers are meticulous in the way they mix each batch.”

Baker: *mix it til you get all the lumps out*

Reminds me of Tiana making beignets from The Princess and The Frog🥰

I love these, I went to Louisiana to visit my uncle & he has introduced me to so many southern Louisiana stuff. Those are indeed, beyond better than a donut. I miss having those. I also love for being introduced to Slap Yo Mama seasoning & Louisiana Hot Sauce. I love their culture & history & traditions!

damn, I was going to go to the gym but now I guess I have to go to Louisiana

Haven’t been there in years but I love the beignets and coffee

Pro tip there is a Cafe du Monde in the Mall across the bridge (Gretna), they are the exact same and the line is not 4 hours long.

2:50 The evidence is overwhelming!!!!, LOL, this place is incredible, beignets are to die for and the hot chocolate is really good too

BEST beignets ever!! I went there every day, sometimes twice a day, when I was visiting.

Dude, I just visited New Orleans yesterday and for breakfast I went to the Cafe Du Monde, not knowing what I was in for. Got myself some Beignets, and hot damn, they were too good. This was also my first time in New Orleans ever, so I felt like I was welcomed and would never forget the moment I first stepped into New Orleans

"It's like heaven in a bag."

That description pretty much sums it up.

Went on a cross country road trip a couple years ago and ate a lot of good food but Cafe Du Monde was the most memorable and delicious spot on the whole trip. Can’t wait to go back

[MALTHEMASTERBARBER]

I can attest to the deliciousness of Cafe du Monde’s beignets and the cafe o lait! Superb!

Where I live (in Anjou, west of France) - and I think it was created in Nantes or Vendée - we call them bottereaux. We mostly eat them at Candlemas (02/02)

Some people in my family like them with big air bubbles (it's basically empty) so that they can put jam in it

[Medium-RareSteak]

I had these back in December, and it was actually heaven

[sketsairoh]

I live in Indonesia, the shape and main ingredients of this Beignet reminds me of Odading. Oh dear, I'm craving for one now!

3:21 she's gonna regret eating that in her car
