Beignet is a little restaurant nestled into the northwest corner the KC River Market. It's specialty is Cajun and Creole food and it's one of the only places you can get a true taste of New Orleans in KC.

Seriously, this place might beat out Disneyland when it comes to being the happiest place on earth.
