Beignets: golden, fluffy and gone before you know it.
In Congo, beignets are not dessert — they are part of the meal. These round balls of fried dough come out golden with a smooth crust, soft and airy inside, served plain and warm exactly as tradition serves them. They sit beside the mains, they cool the heat of pili-pili, and they give everyone at the table something to reach for between bites.
On the plate: Beignets!

Beignets work at every moment of the meal: alongside ntaba and grilled fish, next to a bowl of pondu, or on their own with a coffee or a cold drink. Order the 6 for a taste, the 10 for the table, or the 20 when the whole family is coming, there is no wrong size, only an empty plate.
They already come built into our group feasts, the Duo Feast, Family 4 Feast, Family 6 Feast and Family 10 Feast, because no Congolese spread is complete without them.
Order beignets online for pickup or delivery across Pickering and the Durham Region, or find us at 1980 Rosefield Rd.
