Due to its French and Spanish influences, there are several excellent diners and cafes in New Orleans. Located in French market, Café du Monde is a city landmark famous for its beignets and café au lait, as well as its atmosphere and views. The French-style bakery La Boulangerie turns out fresh breads, French patisseries like pain au chocolate and local delicacies like the Mardi Gras King Cake. To sample authentic Southern hospitality and cooking, head to the old-style diner Camellia Grill for big portions and small prices, or visit Liuzza’s By the Track for Cajun soul food, exceptional gumbo and po’ boys.
