DESCRIPTION: Caf du Monde, located at the Uptown end of the French Market, directly across Jackson Square from St. Louis Cathedral, is a New Orleans institution specializing in two things: coffee (with or without milk but always with chicory) and beignets, which are airy, deep-fried Creole doughnuts. There are other things on the menu, but nobody seems to be able to recall what they are. In 1862 when Caf du Monde opened, the Civil War was raging, New Orleans was one of the most economically important cities in North American and home to a Union garrison, French was still spoken on the downtown side of Canal Street, and Galatoire's and Commander's didn't yet exist. New Orleans has changed much since then, but supposedly Cafe Du Monde hasn't.\n\nDu Monde is patronized by tourists and locals alike. It's a frequent last stop for friday-night revelers and just as often a place to end a romantic evening with quiet conversation. Late at night, especially on the weekends, you'll be joined by street musicians, tarot readers, and "characters" from Jackson Square. The only time you won't find anybody at DuMonde is on Christmas, when it is closed.

DESCRIPTION: Talk about a New Orleans institution! When this place first started selling coffee,the Civil War was on. No fancy coffees here, just coffee, coffee with milk and "beignets", those pillow-shaped doughnts thickly dusted with powdered sugar.(when you finish eating you will be brushing sugar off yourself for about 30 minutes) Sitting in this open air cafe sipping coffee in the French Quarter and eating these doughnuts is a delightful way to start your morning. It's also the cheapest meal you will find in New Orleans!

DESCRIPTION: When the sidewalks are being hosed off, you can slip into the Cafe and get your coffee and beignets served promptly. After a night of clubbing the place will be packed, but it's still a great place to catch up with the people you missed. The Sugar on the beignets is so think, expect to wear about a tablespoon home with you, but I never seem to mind.

Essential New Orleans
DESCRIPTION: Cafe Du Monde does two things: beignets and coffee, and it does them well. The light, airy, sugar-sprinkled dough fritters, chewy on the inside with a very slight crispness on the outside, are a perfect pairing with chicory coffee. (I proffer a tip for the uninitiated: the extra sugar is for sweetening your coffee, not your shirt.) The only better beignets to be had are homemade, and even then the best are usually made with Du Monde's mix. In some ways DuMonde beignets are the anti-doughnut; they're not the least bit cake-like and only lightly sweetened; the sugar is on the outside. There is no flavor of the month, year, or decade, for that matter, and no filling, no chocolate, no rainbow sprinkles or mirrorlike glaze. Just fried, sugared dough. If you're craving something simple, you might be well-served by a trip to Du Monde. I ended many dates and evenings out with friends at Du Monde. It's surprisingly quiet and effortlessly romantic. Depending on what mood you're in, at Du Monde you can be at the center of the world or in a world your own--it lends itself well to intimate conversation and is at the same time the best place for people watching, to see and be seen, in New Orleans. If you stay late enough you're in for a singular experience: Cafe Du Monde is a favorite of the "characters" for which Jackson Square and the French Quarter are known.
