Tips from the community

Mrs. Loretta has been in business for almost 40 years and knows her way around a beignet. This is an authentic locally known part of Nola history and is a must among the locals. There are two locations that are open from Wednesday thru Sunday and my personal favorite is the one in the French Market. My suggestion is to get the Burger Beignet and have no regrets...it's AMAZING!

    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. I would suggest more than a day trip to see all the great things that Nola has to offer, but I have to insist that you start off—and possibly end— the trip with an authentic Big Easy Beignet. This local Cajun promises you won't regret it!
