New Orleans is known for many things, and beignets are certainly one of them. Tourists flock to Cafe du Monde in the Quarter to get their fill on these sweet treats, and nothing makes a Sunday morning better than a pit stop to grab a chicory coffee and a bag of beignets for the road. There’s one unique eatery in the city that’s putting a unique spin on the classic beignet, and they might just have the best beignets in New Orleans. Hungry? Let’s check it out.
When it comes to pralines, there should be one name that stands out from the rest, and that’s Loretta’s.
But they’re changing beignets as we know it. At Loretta’s, you can feast on incredible savory beignets that will change the way you think about these pillowy pockets of deliciousness.
You can choose from eight different types of beignets at the cafe location on North Rampart.
How about a burger beignet? Dressed with lettuce and tomato, these things are quite addictive.
You’ll fall in love with their crab beignets. This savory approach to the traditional beignet is stuffed with tender crab meat that’s been sautéed with mushrooms and butter for a flavor that will make your taste buds explode.
There’s more than just beignets on the menu. Their lunch menu includes several hearty New Orleans classics like fried seafood platters, po’boys, and gumbo.
