Lucile’s Creole Café shows that you can get authentic creole cuisine without heading to Louisiana. Tucked away in the quaint town of Littleton, Lucile’s Creole Café is a breakfast and lunch establishment. No Creole-style morning would be complete without homemade New Orleans style beignets, so grab a café au lait, chicory coffee or house spice tea to go with it.
Breakfast entrées include eggs Pontchartrain, which is a pan fried mountain trout with poached eggs and béarnaise sauce, and eggs New Orleans, which has fried eggplant instead of trout. The ever-favorite shrimp and grits or Creole omelet are also winners. For lunch, the only real choice is gumbo or crawfish etouffee, although the shrimp creole isn’t a bad choice either. Of course, a po-boy with andouille, oysters or fried shrimp would be hard to turn down. With so many great choices Lucile’s Creole Café is a place you’ll return to often.
