Since 1862, Café du Monde has been selling
café au lait and beignets (and nothing
but) on the edge of Jackson Square. And boy,
was its reopening one of those moments when the
city knew it would be coming back. It's a must-stop
on any trip to New Orleans. What's a beignet
anyway? (Say ben-yay.) It's a square French doughnut-type
object, hot and covered in powdered sugar. You
might be tempted to shake off some of the sugar.
Don't. Pour more on, even. At three for about
$1, they're a hell of a deal. Wash them down
with chicory coffee, and listen to the nearby
buskers.
The
Scene
It's no wonder this venerable New Orleans
classic is a must-see in every city guidebook.
Its sidewalk location in the French Quarter,
where it's been since 1862, is a perfect
spot to watch the world go by at any time
of day or night. White-jacketed servers gingerly
navigate between crowded tables both inside
and on the patio, and street musicians often
set up nearby.
The
Food
Really short and really sweet: beignets (fried,
rectangle-shaped doughnuts covered in confectioner's
sugar) and delicious, exceptionally strong
cafe au lait (dark-roasted coffee cut with
chicory to take out the bitterness, and blended
with 100-percent whole milk). Black coffee
and iced coffee are also available, as are
fresh-squeezed orange juice, regular and chocolate
milk, and soft drinks
