She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
Café du Monde in New Orleans – and its famous beignets – is just a short drive away for those in south Mississippi. However, the well-known café isn’t the only place you can indulge on out-of-this-world beignets. Le Café Beignet on the Gulf Coast serves up sugary sweet beignets that give their famous counterparts a run for their money. Take a look:
Biloxi’s Le Café Beignet is truly one-of-a-kind. First off, it’s housed in an old library, which has been designated a Mississippi landmark.
Aside from its looks, the café’s other distinguishing factor is its eclectic menu, which includes made-to-order from scratch beignets as well as an array of delightful dishes.
The tasty variety poses only one issue – deciding what to order! If you just can’t make a decision, go with the Southern Shrimp and Grits, which is the number one seller.
The rest of the menu is just as drool-worthy and includes a variety of salads, nearly a dozen gourmet sandwiches and wraps, and an assortment of coffees.
