Best French Bakery in Des Allemands

"Address: 1401 West Esplanade Suite 100 (although there are other locations in malls throughout New Orleans). Phone number: (504) 468-3588. Cafe Du Monde is a popular coffee shop open since 1862 located in the French Quarter that only closes for Christmas and whenever there’s a hurricane."

"Sometimes it’s nice to find a lesser-known eatery far away from the well-traveled tourist path. But you simply can’t top the foodie classics. If you need a midday pick-me-up, head to Café du Monde for chicory coffee and beignets (crispy, rectangular doughnuts coated in powdered sugar)."

"Yes there are other places that serve this sweet treat, like Café Beignets. They are cute, but the beignets are not as good."

"Parkway has been around for over a century, since 1911 to be exact. Legend has it that the name poor boy, also referred to as po’ boy, comes from the Great Depression era when a sandwich was created to be given free of charge to transit strikers. Folks have been clamoring for Parkway’s poor boys ever since."

"This Bayou St. John po' boy staple is a favorite among locals and tourists in the know. The fried shrimp is a classic, but it's the Thanksgiving po' boy that has locals lining up around the block on Wednesdays in November. Bonus: An excellent Reuben and gumbo."

"A caprese po-boy includes tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Reservations accepted for large parties. Lunch and dinner Wed.-Mon."

"A fellow travel friend suggested Willa Jean, as did several of you from our online communities on Facebook and Instagram, and our first breakfast experience in New Orleans didn’t disappoint. When you first enter, if you can get your kids to walk past the counter display of fresh bakery treats then grab a table in the cafe area and order off the menu. Our kids ordered what I think was the thickest avocado on toast we have ever seen, whilst we went with a colorful and healthy quinoa bowl (quinoa + farro + white beans + avocado)."

"I’ve only been to Cafe Du Monde, but that Willa Jean warm chocolate chip cookie looks right up my alley!. I would love to do a swamp tour and a cemetery tour!. This is a very well-done New Orleans guide!"

"With an elegant approach to classic Southern food, Willa Jean takes that same “elegant fusion” approach to their breakfast food, which includes a griddled banana bread, an artichok..."

"Café Amelie is anything but an unknown entity in New Orleans. From its daily-changing, Creole-accented menu, its location in an exquisite 1836 townhouse, and, above all, its lush, romantic back garden, the charming restaurant is more than deserving of its popularity. Try the signature thick-cut pork chop served over creamy grits with sweet corn maque choux, a New Orleans–style succotash studded with smoky andouille sausage."

"Settle down in this 150-year-old courtyard with lush landscaping for a relaxing bite and a glass of wine (or three). The historic space boasts a romantic ambiance that not even a child in tow can completely ruin. (If the weather isn’t cooperating, the Carriage House offers a rustic alternative.)."

"My friend considers the pork chops the best food she had in NOLA so far. Everything we had was delicious and the drinks tasty."

"3150 Calhoun St., (504) 301-3790; www.moesoriginalbbq.com/lo/nola. Smoked turkey breast is topped with coleslaw, pickles, Alabama-style white sauce and sweet-and-tangy barbecue sauce."

"6500 Magazine St., (504) 212-5282; www.auduboninstitute.org/clubhouse-cafe. A smoked sausage po-boy is topped with caramelized onions, coleslaw, pickles, mayonnaise and Creole mustard on Leidenheimer bread and also is available as a wrap in a spinach or flour tortilla. Reservations accepted for large parties."

"Sit at a table on the veranda of this casual restaurant while taking in views of the golf course and golfers. The restaurant is located just off Magazine Street in the middle of Audubon Park. It’s open to the public seven days a week."

"Uptown: A view of Audubon Park's century old oak trees is best enjoyed on the cafe's veranda with a mimosa in hand during the Sunday buffet brunch, or during a casual lunch.[Photo: Yelp/Leslie P.]"

"3024 17th St., Metairie, (504) 832-4117; www.theharborbarandgrill.com. A Harbor burger is a 12-ounce beef patty topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion and mayonnaise on a toasted white or wheat bun or French bread."

"Local music fans, neighborhood drinkers, and curious tourists all come to see one of the city's favorite sons, Kermit Ruffins, in action at his namesake bar. Inside has the feeling of a tricked-out family basement, but with Mardi Gras colored tiling. The drinks are cheap, the food is (often) free, and the music flows like the lifeblood of the Seventh Ward."

"Before visiting New Orleans for the third time last fall, I binge-watched the HBO series Treme on Amazon Prime. The show is named after the neighborhood north of the French Quarter, where jazz music was born in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Several of the lead characters are musicians; viewers are treated to a lot of terrific music."

"Are you looking for a great place to watch live entertainment around New Orleans, Louisiana?. If so, you should head on over to Kermit's Treme Mother in Law..."

"In 1804 the State of Louisiana passed a law requiring a licensing exam for would-be pharmacists. The first person to pass this exam was one Louis J. Dufilho Jr. , becoming the first licensed pharmacist in the United States. You can drop by his premises on Chartres Street in the French Quarter, where stacks of strange remedies line the walls in historic apothecary bottles."

"The New Orleans Pharmacy Museum is one of the best of this Louisiana city’s tourist attractions. It’s a fascinating and rather unusual sort of museum, which makes it all the more intriguing. Located in the French Quarter and housed within an old two-story building, the museum exhibits a huge range of healthcare and pharmacy-related memorabilia."

"This old apothecary shop is now a museum with medicines, surgical instruments, journals, and an 1855 soda fountain. The museum also highlights the role of Louis J. Dufilho, Jr., America’s first licensed pharmacist and the owner of the apothecary. A newly renovated courtyard also contains a garden of herbs that were used for medicinal purposes."

"French QuarterWhat else do you need to know about The Dungeon other than it’s nickname is “The Dungeon”?. If bikers and emo kids are your thing, this is definitely the darkly lit, sometimes-scary night scene for you. Note: it only opens after midnight, and the metal is, well..."

"Bouligny Tavern is a great place to go most nights of the week. If you go late on Friday or Saturday night, or on a holiday, you can’t get in because there are so many people trying to get a table. But I’m usually working on the weekends, so if I’m going to meet a friend out, it’s usually during the week anyway, making Bouligny a great spot for me."

"Lilette’s sister restaurant, Bouligny Tavern, also has a great outdoor area. Sandwiched between the two buildings, the side patio is great all year long as heat lamps are provided when it’s gets chilly outside. Photo courtesy: Bouligny Tavern"

"A very classy, Mad Men-style living room setting for polished cocktails and conversation. What's not to love about a snack menu divided into Fried, Sliced Meats, and Sweets?. 3641 Magazine St.UptownNew Orleans, LA 70115+1-504-891-1810"

"Situated along Lake Pontchartrain is a restaurant that boasts lovely sunset views and delicious food to enjoy it with. The lakefront restaurant offers a traditional New Orleans menu, including local favorites with a twist. Brisbi’s is one of a handful of restaurants that combines a cool breeze and dining."

"Located just around the corner from the Blue Crab, Brisbi’s offers a similar experience with Lakefront dining and outdoor seating. Take in the sunset from one of their many outdoor tables. Photo courtesy: Brisbi’s Lakefront Restaurant"

"West End/Lakeshore: Like Blue Crab, a menu that focuses on the West End seafood houses of yore. Great seafood, drinks, and views."
