Called ahead and were told 15 min, and it was ready in 15 min when we arrived. A bit of confusion at the counter, but quickly resolved. Breakfast plate with bacon and croissant, 2 eggs sunny side up and grits. Croissant was very nice and eggs were perfectly cooked. Would have preferred crispier bacon, but didn't specify so that's on me. Cannot argue with the price - under $10. Overall a good basic meal from a limited menu - though it would have to be for the volume that they do. Very pleasant service. Would recommend and return.

Let me tell you something. We just finished a swamp tour in the Louisiana bayou -- gators, cypress…read moretrees, Spanish moss, the whole magnificent thing -- and we were hungry, a little wild-eyed, and in desperate need of a meal worthy of the morning we just had. Restaurant des Familles delivered in every single way. We ordered the crab cakes, the turtle soup, and the étouffée, and I am not being dramatic when I say all three were absolutely out of this world. The crab cakes were perfect -- crispy outside, sweet and fresh inside, no filler, no shortcuts. The turtle soup was rich and deeply seasoned in that only-in-Louisiana way that makes you close your eyes on the first spoonful. And the étouffée? Silky, buttery, loaded with flavor. Every single dish tasted like someone's grandmother made it with love and a lifetime of knowing exactly what she was doing. But beyond the food -- this place is just beautiful. Tucked right into the bayou, quiet and unhurried, with that warm Louisiana hospitality that makes you feel like a welcome guest rather than a table to turn. We walked in as road-tripping strangers and left feeling like we'd found one of the best kept secrets in the whole state. If you are anywhere near Barataria, whether you just came off a swamp tour or you made the drive specifically for this -- stop here. You will not regret a single bite. Restaurant des Familles is the real deal.

TL;DR - Despite how popular and what a tourist stop this is, you still HAVE to grab your beignets…read moreand coffee here, at least once. You do that, you may be stopping more than once. Longer: So I was a little hesitant to go to CDM, because it's such the tourist stop and the first joint anyone mentions when they say "beignet". But this was our first stop, morning of first day. The beignets are piled in sugar, they are warm, crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft, warm and delicate inside. I gotta tell you, the texture is just a little different than Cafe Beignet, the Four Seasons, and even the other CDM in the park we tried a few days later. To me, this is the best one. Now, as a coffee person, their black coffee is strong, rich, and a good compliment to the real show - the beignets. But I did not pick up on nearly as much chicory in their chicory coffee as, say, Cafe Beignet's version. Also, I have to let you know the other location in the big park serves a non-chicory version (in addition to NOLA chicory) that is head and shoulders the best coffee we had in New Orleans. But this is the joint. As a bonus, it's colorful, has consistently great street musicians, and has lots of walkable sites as you struggle to waddle around after too many beignets. Gotta go!

Quick, affordable, and delicious pretty much sums it up.

No frills, no fuss, just a classic New Orleans experience that delivers exactly what you expect.

The only downside is that there aren't any outlets inside, which makes it a bit tricky if you're hoping to work on a laptop for a while. There are a few outlets available on the front porch.

Best thing: Fresh, hot beignets piled high with powdered sugar…read more Type of Food: Traditional New Orleans Coffee Shop / Bakery (Famous for chicory coffee and French-style beignets). Review: If you want the classic Cafe Du Monde experience without the massive open-air crowds of the French Quarter location, this spot in the Riverwalk mall is a great alternative. The coffee is consistently good--both the classic Cafe Au Lait and the Mocha hit the spot. The stars of the show, though, are the beignets. They come out hot, fresh, and absolutely covered in a generous mountain of powdered sugar. Cons: It is a relatively small location tucked into the bottom floor of the mall, which means seating can be limited. Because of its popularity, you should be prepared to stand in a line, though thankfully the staff keeps it moving pretty fast. Thumbs up / Thumbs down: Thumbs up! I would definitely go back for a quick, delicious fix when shopping or walking along the riverfront.

For me, it was a simple dessert--light, fluffy, sugary, and not too greasy despite being fried. I wouldn't necessarily call it a "wow" treat, but it's still worth trying for the experience. This particular location is especially nice if you want to take a walk through the park, stroll around the city, and enjoy the scenery. The setting is definitely a highlight!

Now let's talk about breakfast: Weekday around lunch. About 1/4 of seats taken. As best I could tell, 2 or 3 servers. Coffee, OJ and soda brought promptly after ordering. FYI - drinks reasonably priced. I opted for Spinach & Swiss omelette, hash browns well done and biscuit. He opted for Meatlover's omelette, hash browns and toast. 25 minutes later breakfast was served. Husband's order was fine: tasty omelette, and the toast was well buttered. Mine? The Swiss was sticking out of the omelette and it was a slice not melted. The cheese inside the omelette was melted, and overall it had good flavor. The hash browns had good flavor, but they were not well done. The biscuit was not buttered - there was butter on the table - and it was nice and dense to support slathering it in jelly. The waitress checked on us a couple of times. I made no comment whether it was good or bad, because I was going to eat it anyway. As a general rule I don't send things back, and in this instance given the time it took to get it, I was starved and certainly wasn't sending it back. Leftovers box and checkout was super quick. This experience: 2 stars; averaging to 4 stars for restaurant overall. Will continue to use for pastries, but won't be back for another sit down experience.
