A place to explore the delicious obsession with beignets that this city has is La Petite Grocery, where you can find crab stuffed beignets. Later in the day, hunger will send you to the heart of Creole and Cajun cuisine: rich and deep flavors; roux with red beans and rice; polenta and medallions of different meats. Try the award-winning Cochon, where the Southern-Cajun style applies to almost all pork, so you get an idea of all the depth that can be given to the food here.
If it’s about oysters, the raw seafood bar at Peche Seafood Grill is an excellent place to start. To try one of the best Cajun fried chicken in the area, visit Coop’s Place. And before you leave for Gulfport, try one of the most beloved desserts in the region, the bread pudding;
