Photo Friday: Cafe du Monde

At first Chloe didn’t want to go. Apparently, she did not remember her earlier visits. Once, in New Orleans, when she was about 15 months old, and once when in Kyoto when she was days short of turning five.

Waiting for Good dough

But, with the promise of a chance to sit down after all of our walking and the hope of a delicious hot chocolate, she agreed to give it a try. And enjoyed our decadent treat of mid-morning beignets at Cafe du Monde in the French Quarter.

We enjoyed a very pleasant hour in the warmth of the sun on the patio…eating beignets, drinking hot drinks, watching the tourists pass by.

The menu is short (and sweet). The wait staff is friendly. There was no wait for a table. Cash only.

And yes, Cafe du Monde Japan does exist, much to our surprise and delight …

This is an entry for Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday.

Beignets!

Happy girls

YUM. I went back to du Monde for my bachelorette weekend last year, and was just telling my husband last night when he ordered beignets at a restaurant here in San Francisco that I need to take him there someday!
