SEATTLE — Just in time for Mardi Gras, we tracked down three of the best beignets in Seattle.
Toulouse Petit is a Queen Anne eatery known for its French Quarter-inspired decor and menu. Their buttermilk beignets are based on a classic recipe showcasing Southern simplicity.
"Flour, buttermilk, eggs, and a lot of love,” said Chef Clive Gomez.
They're served with a side of chicory anglaise - coffee-flavored syrup for dipping.
Toulouse Petit is open for breakfast through late-night dinner service, and beignets are available on every menu.
The location of our next beignets changes daily.
You can find Where Ya At, Matt roaming the streets, bringing New Orleans soul food to Seattle.
The food truck serves Creole favorites like po-boys, jumbalaya and beignets made to order. The beignets are served hot out of a paper bag with a generous scoopful of powdered sugar.
It might just be the closest thing to the Big Easy...without getting on a plane.
One more restaurant known for its beignets is in the heart of downtown Seattle.
RN74 - named after a road that runs through Burgandy, France - boasts modern interpretations of French bistro cuisine.
RN74’s beignets are made with a brioche dough - seasoned with nutmeg and vanilla, and served with Macallan butterscotch.
