Best French Bakery in Terrytown

"It would be impossible and, frankly, gastronomically reckless to visit New Orleans without paying a visit to one of the city’s outposts for its most famous deep-fried treats: beignets. And while the version you can get at any of the Cafe du Monde outposts are golden fried perfection rolled in a generous helping of powdered sugar, there are still some delightful options for when you need to scratch the itch of a craving for some good old traditional donuts. Whether you’re celebrating Mardi Gras, looking for a classic glazed donut to dunk into a hot coffee, or wanting to try something a little more adventurous, New Orleans has you covered."

"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."

"(French Quarter, Donuts/Coffee/Tea, $) A cornerstone of the Quarter, cafe’ au lait, beignets and excellent people watching not to be missed."

"The Po-Boy was invented in New Orleans and is a staple food with local’s so needless to say it’s a must eat in New Orleans. The most popular Po-boy with local’s and visitor’s alike are the shrimp or oyster Po-boy but at Parkway Bakery and Tavern they serve the most unbelievable Surf & Turf Po-Boy’s you will ever have!. Trust us on this one."

"Expect a long line: Parkway is the go-to spot in New Orleans for delicious, authentic po'boys. The generous shrimp po'boy is always a solid pick, but the roast beef and surf and turf options are also outstanding. Come on Monday or Wednesday for the famed oyster po'boy."

"The brainchild of Besh Restaurant Group pastry chef Kelly Fields and baker Lisa White, this bakery serves a variety of loaves of bread, sweet and savory pastries, and treats like salted chocolate chip cookies and Rice Krispie bars. Willa Jean also offers a full sit-down menu for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, but the front case of goodies is a sight to behold."

"Opened in 2015 by South Carolina-born chef Kelly Fields, Willa Jean offers a bright, modern space to enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. The pastry counter alone is worth a visit. In 2019, Fields won the James Beard Award for Outstanding Pastry Chef."

"Cafe Amelie is home to one of the most romantic courtyards in the Vieux Carre. The menu revolves around Louisiana fare with some international influences. If there is no time to linger over a meal in the lush courtyard, its sister restaurant Petite Amelie serves delightful sandwiches and salads and makes an ideal lunch spot."

"This French Quarter restaurant has been around for ages and it’s the gorgeous courtyard and good food that keep people coming back. If you’re after a drink and a good meal in a classic Nola setting, Café Amelie is your jam."

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

"1502 Lapalco Blvd., Harvey, (504) 366-1073; www.brotherscafe.net. A fried shrimp po-boy is topped with lettuce, tomato and pickles and served with fries. Reservations accepted."

"A New York po-boy includes corned beef, pastrami, salami, turkey, Swiss cheese and kosher pickles on a Leidenheimer roll and is served with fries, onion rings, potato salad, coleslaw or fruit."

"I am officially, 100% percent ripping that off,” Fieri told Avery’s owners Christy and Justin Pitard after devouring their kicked-up Fried Potato Salad. That’s just one of their twists on local classics. Another featured was the couple’s riff on Oysters Rockefeller in—you guessed it!"

"(Various street corners in the French Quarter) The popular hot dogs and iconic weenie-in-bun-shaped carts have been part of the late-night Quarter scene for years; the company website claims over 21 million hot dogs have been sold in the past half-century. Lucky Dog makes a pretty good weenie, perfect for slowing your roll when you’ve had one too many Hurricanes at Pat O’Brien’s."

"These ubiquitous hot dog carts, immortalized as "Paradise Dogs" in the brilliant Pulitzer Prize-winning A Confederacy of Dunces, are all over the place in the Quarter. The enormous hot dogs taste like, well, something you bought off of a hot dog cart, but if you've had a few drinks and like the idea of connecting to some literary history, give 'em a try."

"Decatur Street is, in many ways, one of the main drags of the French Quarter, and is home to some of New Orleans’ most popular restaurants (don’t worry, we’ll get to those in the food section below). You can also find souvenir shops, tour companies, donkeys hooked up to carriages offering rides, and just about any other tourist staple you can think of here."

"Be sure to take as much time as possible during your 3 days in New Orleans exploring the historical district of the French Quarter. You’ll be enamored by the gorgeous buildings with covered porches and balconies overlooking the gas lamp lit streets."
