My friend and I were greeted enthusiastically when we walked through the door of this small,…read morefamily-run Vietnamese restaurant in a Chalmette strip mall. That was so kind, and it moved me. Many "social" experiences feel so impersonal and isolated now; and I've always felt that making, eating, and sharing food should not feel that way, and, at Beignets & More, walking into the space feels humanizing, like you've been welcomed to a family meal, even if you're on your own. My friend and I both had pots of green tea and ordered pho, which came out within 10 minutes. I have wheat/gluten allergies and confirmed that the pho here is gluten free. The brisket pho was great, and I'll definitely come back to try the chicken, rare steak, and veggie--or to get a big container of their terrific broth to go when I'm feeling a cold coming on. (I'm sure other menu items are worth trying too!) Both the son and his dad came around during our meal to gently ask "everything is good?" I'll be here often as long as I live in New Orleans. -- Bonuses: In the table caddy with hoisin sauce, sriracha, napkins, and spoons, there are also real chopsticks to use--not the wooden, to-go ones many restaurants offer even when you're dining in. Parking at the strip mall is easy.

Perks is a good place to visit when you want some good home cooking. In addition to being open…read moreduring the week (closed on Mondays), they are open on Sundays which is a plus when you don't feel like cooking after church. You can sit down and eat in or take food to go. Staff members are always nice and welcoming. 1st time I went to Perks was in January and I visited again recently. The gumbo there is really good. It taste like it came from a family member's house. It was filled with ingredients and had a lot of flavor. The pork steak meal I had came with a drink and was under $18. They give a lot of food so you can eat off the same plate for lunch and dinner or split a plate with someone. For me the greens were a little salty, and my mom felt like her bbq smoked chicken breast was a little dry. However we enjoyed everything else. My pork steak was very tender and the green beans had a good flavor. We've had fried chicken from them in the past and it was okay. They dropped it fresh (which was nice) just felt like it needed a little more seasoning. The fried fish is pretty good from there too. I'd say give it a try if you are in the parish. It's located right by Pj's coffee and Gerald's donuts.

There's a lot of hype around cafe du monde for good reason...I actually came to this location twice…read moreduring my 4 day trip in New Orleans because the beignets here are THAT good. While you're here, I'd say that the cafe au lait is also worth trying. I noticed that the lines tend to be longer in the morning but there was little to no wait at night time. Service is mixed--some workers are really friendly while others seem rushed and are a bit harsher. It is a casual spot and you can pretty much grab any open table to be seated. One thing to note is that it is cash only. Overall, I'd highly recommend this location of cafe du monde!

Anyone who says that Café du Monde is overhyped has not been here! This place was phenomenal!…read more For reference, my only experience with beignets before this was at Disneyland, and everyone told me I had to try Café du Monde. I was a little confused when I first walked up, as there isn't a place to order. You simply sit at an empty table and a server comes to take your order. The beignets were warm, crispy, and covered in powdered sugar. It's hard to explain what they even tasted like because they were just that incredible. I ended up getting them again the next day--I genuinely want to make another trip out here just to have them again. Be aware that it's in a heavily tourist-filled area, but besides that, I loved this spot and will definitely be back the next time I'm in New Orleans!

There's seating inside along with a comfortable neighborhood vibe and a couple of tables out front. Clearly a chill place to hang for whatever purpose.
