Since 1862, Cafe du Monde has been the place to people watch and enjoy their world famous beignets.   Just what is a beignet?  It’s a freshly prepared, hot, French-style doughnut that is fried and loaded up with tons of powdered sugar which are served in a set of three at Cafe du Monde.  They look so yummy and the intention is always to eat them somewhat delicately, but soon you’ll join the others as they wipe powdered sugar from their faces, hair, and clothing – all in fun, of course.  Cafe du Monde also has a satellite location at the Riverwalk Marketplace.
