Tips from the community
What’s a trip to New Orleans without sampling some of those famous beignets? Make your way over to the open-air Café du Monde and find a table where you can dig into this sweet French-inspired fried dough.
This place will be swarmed in a matter of hours—usually around this time, however, there is little to no wait, so snag a seat while you can! Tip: Don’t wear black here as you’ll get powdered sugar all over! Order your beignets ($3) with a side of chicory coffee ($4). Cash only.

This is the best-known location for Beignets among both locals and tourist. It is one of my favorite places personally due to its open-air concept and amazing beignets and chicory coffee. I have been back numerous times over the years, and it is always the same as I left it! There is no need to fix perfection. Don't forget to grab some of its beignet mix for sale so you can take a taste of Nola home. Feel free to stop by anytime, they are open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day!

Café Du Monde, a historic staple of the French Quarter, is famed for its aromatic chicory coffee and freshly fried beignets dusted with powdered sugar. This open-air café buzzes with both locals and tourists at all hours, offering a taste of New Orleans tradition right alongside the bustling French Market. Visitors to the neighborhood shouldn't miss the chance to sit in the shade of the green and white awning and watch street performers as they enjoy these iconic New Orleans treats.

Beignets: There is a contested debate in New Orleans over the best beignet. Some side with Cafe Beignet, but my personal favorite will always be Cafe DuMonde. At times the line can span an entire city block due to their notoriety. My advice: get there early, take your order of beignets and chicory coffee to go, and enjoy the sweet, pillowy donuts on the riverwalk.

Cafe Du Monde may be popular and frequented but that hasn’t diminished the quality. The beignets are great, but the frozen coffees are out of this world - seriously, they’re so good that I bought one one morning and another to leave in my hotel mini fridge for later.

ls (L S) New Orleans is one of the hottest spots for tourists, musicians and street performers in the south. It's known for its lively atmosphere, exquisite food and southern charm.

No trip would be complete without sampling a bite of Jambalaya or some classic gumbo. The Big Easy is a gastronomic paradise featuring cuisines from all over the world. Some dishes have served the test of time and still appear on restaurant menus and in family kitchens from the banks of the Mississippi to Lake Pontchartrain.
