From king cake to crème brûlée, New Orleans is no stranger to the sweet life. And this week we’re skipping the meal and headed straight for dessert.
The editors share their favorite dessert dishes from around New Orleans and where you can find them.
Angelo Brocato
Brocato’s is one of my family’s favorite places! Their stracciatella gelato can’t be beat and their biscottis will forever remind me of my grandma. It’s true comfort food.

Byblos, Old Metairie
When it’s been a while since I’ve been home for my mom’s Arabic home cooking, my go-to is Byblos in Old Metairie for phyllo-wrapped ashta. If you haven’t tried it, what are you doing?!

Crème brûlée at Cafe Degas. The atmosphere is always festive and the crème brûlée is creamy and delicious!

Lemon Ice Box Pie at Clancy’s. It’s cool. It’s classic. It’s tart and sweet.
